Nirvana · 1968
Recording

The track was recorded by the British Nirvana duo of Patrick Campbell-Lyons and Alex Spyropoulos during sessions for All of Us. Chris Blackwell produced the recording for Island, with the song built around a prominent phasing effect that became central to its sound. Released as a single in 1968, it became Nirvana best known hit and one of the earliest British pop records to feature heavy studio phasing. The single reached number 34 on the UK Singles Chart and helped bring the Island act wider attention. It remains the best known recording by the 1960s Nirvana and a notable example of late 1960s British psychedelic studio experimentation. The track has endured through psychedelic pop compilations and renewed interest in Island Records early catalogue.
