Damn! rare Rare Earth. BOS2FRA.

And may I say this has been one of Dave's finest weeks in a while (tho' I suspect tomorrow's "classic" will be of the late-'80s/early-'90s variety).

hrm. You may be right -- the beginning's rather similar to "Born To wander".  And the lead singer's voices are also similar, something I'd never thought about before.

Not by my definition, I call this total ear candy. YMMV.

Btw, per the Shraytabase this is the first time this has shown up in a set since March of 2006. Far too long...

Good old Tony Burrows.  I didn't know he was British.  He's responsible for two of my wife's favorite songs that irritate me.  Can ya guess the other one?

Quote
In the early 1960s he was a member of The Kestrels, a vocal harmony group which also included the future songwriting team Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook. Subsequently he joined The Ivy League (unfortunately after their hit-making days). He was still with them when they metamorphosed into The Flower Pot Men. The Flower Pot Men only ever had the one hit, "Let's Go to San Francisco", which nevertheless reached number four in the UK Singles Chart in the autumn of 1967. Two founding members of Deep Purple, Jon Lord and Nick Simper, were also part of the band.

Later, Burrows sang the lead vocals on several hit songs under different group names, Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" (April 1970); White Plains' "My Baby Loves Lovin'" (July 1970); The Pipkins' novelty song "Gimme Dat Ding" (July 1970); and The First Class' "Beach Baby" (October 1974). With these four hits, he may be music's most prolific "one-hit wonder". He also sang lead vocals on The Brotherhood of Man's "United We Stand", which did not top the UK charts but reached the Top 10 in the US.

Yep, the 45 alternate mix (that Dave seems to favor over the album version).

Mike, that might be where you recall the faster version of GTGB--an alternate version on the 45. Alas, I don't have it, as it's kind of rare now.

If it was indeed a single, it didn't make the Top 40. Here's the orig Boz-in-a-Speedo LP cover, later replaced by the ugly silent-movie-looking thing at right:

For general group edification, here's the L-O-O-O-N-G version of "Let's Go to San Francisco."  Very much like the Beach Boys, but even more like Sagittarius's "My World Fell Down," which I hope some of you have heard before.
