I don't know this version

Me neither, but it obviously should never have been done.

Blech.

sounded kinda Association-y.  But more likely a local Chicago thang.

BOS me too.  But this was a B-side in the early '70s, no?

It's been around forever, but I don't know the original release date.

Something like that, it didn't appear on an LP until Decade.

So sad to have missed the Rascals, I'd have BOS'ed it for sure, as it is one of thse 45's my folks had that my brothers & I would dance around to in the living room since I was 5 & they were 4 & 3.

By now you know that it was a Chicago thang, but if you've read Bob's WDRV bio you'd know that the Cryan' Shames are not only still active, but also that Bob moonlights as their lead vocalist!

According to Songfacts.com  http://www.songfacts.com/detail.lasso?id=1125  it was 1969.  I have a vivid memory of Morning Glory Music in Isla Vista (The original location) whenever I hear that song, so, if it was 1968, it had to be very late, as I started at UCSB Fall '68.  I suspect Bob got it wrong, but it's hard to say.

I know I should do something other than post here, but my curiosity was piqued!  canoe.ca says: "Singles  1968 Sugar Mountain"  It must have been at the very end of 1968!

OK that makes sense. Bob actually said "recorded in '68" which one of the comments on songfacts.com seems to confirm.

I remember it also being the b-side of either "Heart of Gold" or "Old Man" -- it was on a jukebox in an Italian restaurant in my neighborhood where we ate often, and I recall playing it there.
