Unfortunately the banal flipside was the one that was pushed as the hit, while the true raver heard here was relegated to b-side status. Obviously influenced by the English mod scene not only in name but sound (dig the Yardbirds style rave up), the group shows off their talent and fantastic musicianship on this great side; yet another for the "should have been a hit" files.
from 1967...
THE LORDS OF LONDON - TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE

When I clicked on the player, I thought I would listen to a cover of The Knack late '66 song. It turned out this "Time Waits For No One" was a totally different song and indeed a great one.
Funnily enough, I googled the title and found that The Rolling Stones also recorded a song called "Time Waits For No One" in 1974. But I definitely dig The Lords Of London's song and The Knack's one more.
As always, thank you Derek for putting a smile on my face and fire in my bones!
Yes, this is a great track.
