r. June 1969
Pye 7N 17778
could not chart
current mint value: £8
The first few hundred copies were printed with the first label. Then the record company changed
its mind. They were probably worried about the risque title for the B-side, which is actually
the original title for the song Trudi. Pye tried to recall the singles and only release
the Trudi label. They failed (heh heh!) and some slipped out.

Donovan with the Jeff Beck Group
