Yup, you've just been transported back to the sweltering heat of Summer '68.

Another BOS for the Grass Roots, sounding extraordinarily clean.  This is not the standard version, is it?  Maybe not even the Grass Roots?

I assumed it was an after-the-fact budget re-recording.  But maybe it is a cover - the voice sounds faintly like Jose Feliciano, dunnit?

I've heard the "remade" GR versions, and I don't think this is them. WTF indeed.  Sounds like Trini Lopez!

Yay for the Hollywood Squares - and for Sly's "Life," which I'm sure is an ATBB.

Weird tune, sounds like the circus.  Never heard it before, as far as I know.
