songs for broken hearts, no. 47

The stars of yesterday's post, Les Fleur De Lys, also went by the name of Rupert's People and recorded tonight's lovely offering, a song that showcases the deep appreciation the Mods had for American soul music. I've come across a rumor on the internet that Jimi Hendrix plays ghost guitar on this track. I don't think it's true. Then again, the guitar playing does have a Wind Cries Mary-ish quality to it, and Jimi did spend quite a bit of time in the 60s in England, so who knows? Whether it's Jimi or not, the guitar laying sounds just perfect. There's also a delightful sounding soap opera organ that creates an atmosphere of kind benevolence and tragic beauty. I wonder what exactly it is that the Brits did in the 60s to make their records sound so good? I mean, have you ever heard a record that sounds as good as this one?
