Original Atco Records #6606 First pressing. Debut 8/24/1968 Peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. Re-released and debut 5/17/1969. Peaked at #68 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. This is the original VERY Short, heavily edited single mix that clocks in at only 2:52, which is just shy of the 3 minute glass ceiling that was a maximum limit on length due to radio program director requirements of the time for short records that maximized record play on the Top 40 radio stations of the day. The original album featured this song in it's full 17 minute glory, which took up the entire side of the LP! This is the original mono mix as heard when this was a hit on AM Top 40 radio on stations like WABC New York. For more great music like this, tune into either: Pop Gold Radio OR REWOUND Radio Both internet stations are owned & programed by fans of oldies musi
