Bought this single in a second-hand shop. I am trying to remember which one but I bought it to play at Rubber Soul. The first night I took it in I went to play it and realised the centre bit was missing. Unfortunately, there was none around, so that night was a no-go. And it was never a dancefloor favourite there. I used to play as people were coming in early in the night. Before the place went crazy.
I loved the record. Just loved the whole feel of the song. And the message behind it. I also love the vinyl record with the big hole in the centre which usually means it comes from America. The thick cardboard sleeve with a little bit of writing in the corner. Actually, I remember buying it now. From the Mighty Music Machine in Chapel Street. They had this whole display shelf full of old classic singles. I think some had the orange Golden Hits and the like label. I gradually built up my collection of sixties singles to include stuff I'd been reading about in music books. And I had a bunch of those too. Couldn't stop reading about music. Still can't. Always looking for something new in the past. And in the present too.
