My own take on the 'utterly brilliant', song from 1967 recorded by The Lemon Pipers. I've steered clear of recording a slavish re-creation of the original in favour of adding my own trademark psychedelic touches. :)

An 'Invisible Band' project.
This is a Major Snagg / Big Sleep 'side project', to create and record mostly high power psychedelic type of material (covers and originals). . . Full Tilt Psychedelia . Just as XTC briefly became The Dukes of Stratosfear, so have Tony and myself become The Lykes of Wytch . . . but probably only briefly . . . well maybe not !

Story behind the song
Oh boy, this one takes me back to when I was at Secondary School. I've always been a sucker for Bubblegum Psychedelic Pop songs. They don't come much better than this. I'm having a load of fun with this project. :)

Yeah...nailed it! Love that song...it's been years since I heard it on the radio. Definitely grabbed that psychedelic flavour and even added some great stuff to that as well. Icing on the cake and a cherry on top, lol! Excellent stuff on guitar and vocals, love the effects.

Excellent. Its like listening to something that fell out of a time machine from the late 60's. Very catchy enjoyable track. I love it!

Cool intro, then the verse and familiar echo part, cool fx and psychedelics, cool sounding delays and instruments, especially at about the 2:50 mark and then that modulation ending....coooool!!!

I'm seeing rainbow trails from the frisbees! I'm seeing Paisley Horses! Lots of incense and Peppermint, O my! Happy Birthday written in the clouds! Hey bro! Great treatment of a LSD fueled piece of music. I think Green Tambourine falls in the genre of Psychedelic Gypsy, or something.
