My Friend Jack (original version) - The Smoke [Yorkshire, England] - #1 German Charts in 1967 - "The MAIN melody is a bouncy, mid-tempo slice of pop-psychedelia. Nice guitar." - High In A Room-The Anthology (Disc 1 the 60's)-2002. NOTE: One of the greatest banned British singles of the 1966-1967 period. Was pulled off the U.K. market due to the drug connotations in the line "eats sugar lumps" (LSD).
Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my program " great sound of 60' s " on the site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in rock and roll.
Salut, vous aimez les sixties ? Ecoutez et podcatez mon émission "le super son des sixties" sur plum fm. Salut et faites gaffe au rock'n roll.
Vous êtes correct, Alain, mais ce disque fut produit en 1966 et distribué en Angleterre en 1967. J'espére que vous aimez mes disques and que vous vous souvenez bien les "bon moments". Les années soixante étaient merveilleux.
This group was originally called 'The Shots' and released one 45 (Keep a hold of what you've got). They was sold by their manager to none other than the 'Kray' twins. Not surprisingly, they disbanded soon after and reformed as 'The Smoke'.
cool ! :)

Now this is fucking real music. Man, the 60's were the epitome of music, hands down.
