The Great Society - Love You Girl

Many thanks to the lads in MGMT for peeling this one off in their Late Night Tale. The melody keeps bringing me back to the "Smiling faces, I can see" part of As Tears Go By (also from '64/'65)... coincidence?

Written and sung by David Miner. Recorded October–December 1965, Golden State Recorders, San Francisco, California.

Stellar.

Glad you enjoyed it, B. Maybe a proto-Velvets vibe on this? I could hear Nico singing it.

I did hear a bit of VU on this track as well. Who knows what Mr. Reed was listening to in '65, eh?
