Sorry to the person that posted the interesting comment on this being on the radio all those years ago! I went to reply and hit the remove button instead - the words on the screen are tiny and look similar to blind people like me. Sorry again!

Brilliant song. Brilliant album. Should be ranked with the major psychedelic LPs of the 60s. Check out THE ARK for their follow-up album. Some great psychedelia there as well.

@Macroheart1 Combat medic? God bless you because the US sure as hell didn't.

Those who purchased a few LP's 35-45 years ago were buying a piece of a Musical Renaissance. As profound as the Great Art of the 16th Century and the Great Classical Music of the 18th Century. Hundreds of years from now this music will be viewed exactly that same way. We complain how the music of the present weakly immitates and has no substance. A fool's folly! The best Artist in the 20th Century Music Renaissance can not be duplicated any more easily than Mozart or fhe Sistine Chapel..

This is very different form what I am use to from C&J but it is interesting.

@aterribleteaday I too remember hearing this on the radio. WRPI, the local college station! So many years ago....I haven't thought of this song in years!!!

Used to listen to this song on the radio when I was 18...late at night...listening to this song when I couldn't sleep...now 62 and just ordered this album on Oldies.com, since I didn't have the money when I was 18. Funny, when I turn out the lights and listen to this music...I am 18 again. Oh yes, used to sing it to myself when I was a medic in Viet Nam. Macroheart1

Thanks. I remember this from 1968. The song isn't as good as I remember it but your recording of it was top notch.

[DougStoneent]

I always hated the spoken intro. A desperate attempt at keeping up with the times or a joke? I could never tell. But the songs were great. Very creative. Wasn't half the album a single song?

Can't anybody please download the rest of this awesome album along with the album "The Ark".
