"Say You Don't Mind" is a great song, and I've always preferred this original to Blunstone's rather twee version. "Ask the people" is a B side which could almost have been an A-side on its own, and the follow up single, "Catherine's Wheel"/"Too much in love" was equally good. <br />Saw them once live, with Viv Prince on drums. Brilliant, but they didn't have enough material to complete a whole gig, such just did the same set, twice. A great evening nonetheless. One track I recall was "Machine Song" (or something). I wonder what happened to that.Steve Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955216505401950558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874687919193635.post-90884076331738782772011-12-02T21:55:38.712-08:002011-12-02T21:55:38.712-08:00Wow, I think I may like this better than Colin Blu...Wow, I think I may like this better than Colin Blunstone's version.

Never even thought of looking into Denny Laine's career before Wings, and didn't know he had a hand in Moody Blues'Go Now (shame on me).<br /><br />Thanks for that.<br /><br />As for the song itself, it's a nice enough taste of typical Flower Power Britpop of the mid-sixties. Nothing wrong with that of course.waarschuwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290626690388369941noreply@blogger.com
