When Jesamine Goes was released in Feb 1968 Pye made a poor job of promoting the single and it failed to chart. As it was an obvious hit it was picked up by The Casuals who released it in August 1968. It became a Worldwide hit for them .

I've whistled and sang this song in every frre moment today... so many precious memories and such a wonderful tune. I love the casuals version... but this just seems to hit the mark for me, my mind and I this evening.

It evokes Brutus Jeans and shirts... cigarette and chocolate vending machines... and bizarrely candy-floss!! Fairground days and great music : ))
