Hailing from Wales, The Eyes Of Blue were STRONGLY influenced by the U.S soul sound, as heard on this double sider, as well as their excellent debut; a cover of The Parliaments "Heart Trouble".
The group delivers a very nice sound on both sides, and my preference falls towards "Don't Ask me...", although "Supermarket" tends to get a bit more attention. Don't get me wrong, I really dig "Supermarket" but from a songwriting perspective I find the lyrics a bit clunky (although it doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the song!)
from 1967...
