I love this song, it has so many good things going for it. But primarily the chorus, which is very strong with its appealing melody and distinctive vocal phrasing. One of the higlights of their pshedelic period imho, and a song I keep returning to.
Reckon this is another example of a 'B' side being better than the 'A' side. Just the kolonel's humble opinion of course............ thanx for posting this gem.
This is a 'B' side and is still better than a lot of songs that got in the charts in the 60s. Reminds me of a lot of the american pyschedelia that we never got to hear. Thank goodness for YT! Actually used to think the PTs were Rolling Stones wanabees, until I heard the SF Sorrow CD and discovered they were a top (undiscovered) pyschedelic band. Loved Parachute too.
The slightly more pedestrian b side to Talkin about the good times....still awesome...kudos to the bastard who stole this from me...ill get you one day!
The word "awesome" is thrown about so much, so recklessly. But here it fits perfectly. The Pretty Things knew just what the charm of a psychedelic tune was. They never got pointlessly weird; they stayed tuneful and joyful while weirding things up.
Just heard this today on Little Steven's Garage. Great tune.
