This is from 1966?

Wow... I always pictured 1966 as a boring, dull time. (Also, a more conservative, fearing time.) But now...

1966 is badass!

There has never been simpler times....

I remember the big thing was it was supposed to contain a satanic message on the flip side because of it being backwards.oh well...I was 16 then

@nickandmikec I had the full size LP and the B side had Josephine's response "I'm glad they took you away"

[nickandmikec]

The reverse side or b side of this record was "They Took My Brother Away But I'm All Right" or something like that, not the backward recording of side a....I don't think I am mistaken. I had the record in 1966.

Whenever it came on the car radio us kids clamored to mom and dad to not turn it off. Finally my older brother took me to the store to buy the 45 and it cost all of 63 cents with tax- I had saved up the deposits from pop bottles that I had collected.

I have this same exact song on loony tunes 25 Greatest Hits

@thechessstick I heard that there was some fear that it might push people who were already a bit shaky over the edge. It fell from #3 to #5 in one week, #5 to #37 in the next week. It peaked just after the Texas Tower massacre, so people must have been getting a little nervous.
