The Easybeats were arguably the best and most influential Australian rock band of the sixties. According to Milesago (a great site on Australian rock and popular culture), they had fifteen top 40 singles in Australia between 1965 and 1970, including three number one hits. They generated teenage hysteria in the early days (known as 'Easyfever'), not unlike Beatlemania.
During 1966 they went to England to try and crack the big time. In September, they recorded at Abbey Road studios with then Who producer Shel Talmy and cut four new tracks - "Remember Sam", "Made My Bed, Gonna Lie In It", "Pretty Girl" and "Friday On My Mind". The choice of single was obvious. "Friday On My Mind" is a perennial classic, and a genuine working-class anthem. Made My Bed was the flip side of that single. This is the seldom heard stereo studio version of Made My Bed (Gonna Lie In It), superimposed over a clip of them playing it live. (Unfortunately there was a cut in the clip, which put the sound out of sync in the second haff of the video).
