One of the first examples of a studio recording technique called "phasing" used in psychedelic music. Hendrix picked-up on it and developed it on his albums. It's that 'wooshing' of the sound into drawn-out sweeps.
@Exiles800 Hendrix was indeed a fan of Steve Marriott even before he (Jimi) hit it big himself. Their girlfriends at the time shared a flat with each other in London.
@gropingwithastoker Jimi Hendrix, in 1959, heard a pop tune, "The Big Hurt" by Miss Toni Fisher and was so blown away by the special effects which qualified the Miss Toni Fisher song as one of the first psychedelic records (before the name was even coined) that Hendrix decided to expand on the sound further and... the rest is history...
when i was a kid back in the 60's, many songs inspired us to ditch and get high. although i also doubt someone quoted these lyrics to a principal after getting caught, getting high was the call of the day for sure!! thanks for posting!
Steve Marriot,you are a legend R.I.P. A true icon of the sixties,good times ,great music,simple life,and no intrusive technology that turns people into trolls.
@pikiwiki You could miss off school, won't that be cool? why go to learn the words of fools ? Ian Mclagan didn't like this song and thought it was anti education!
I couldn't get enough of this song when it came out, and I still love it! I remember turning up the radio one day when this came on. My mom was in the kitchen making dinner, and I turned up the radio so that she would realize that I was one of those "hippie" kids now. (I had just turned 15).
one time I skipped school and went to a park and got high and my principal asked me where I was what I did and how If I felt bad about it and I replied with the lyrics
I had to do a grade school project, and chose an article from Popular Science mag about LSD! I won first prize, and went on to join the flower power generation. This song was out around about then. Mind blowingly positive!

I agree and im 27, groups just dont have the flair that they once had to bring out good music, now it is just either distorted nonsense or electronic nigtclub beat music.
this is the first song that comes into my mind everytime im rolling a joint or just think about drugs this song plays constantly in the back ground along with radiohead =]
Beautiful indeed.
