wowwewowwewowwe......holy smokes....big time perfection....you recreated the 60s vibe perfectly but remastered with digital tech....fantastic... you need to do this for a career....or something like it... yes, I am in agreement the attention to detail is incredible... I hope you had alot of fun with this because it is really good.... my sister, 7 years older than me (God rest her soul) listened to all this stuff.... so I heard it all too...and was I lucky!

Totally nailed this Keith....I had a front row seat to watching this unfold....Keith and I were talking about the site and the festivals ...I said that the festivals were one of the coolest parts of this site (shout out to 64 guitars for all his hard work in facilitating these festivals) and one of the reasons for the real community feeling on this site....the other thing about the festivals is it forces you to work fairly quickly, get something done and posted before the time is up, and sometines working quick has advantages vs. labouring over a song......capture everything quickly, first or second take, move on...sometimes real gold comes from working that way (in my experience) it can drive you into a real zone of inspiration which is a very cool feeling.....

well he thought about it, thought he would like to take part in the current festival, realizing about Phil May and the great Pretty things album SF Sorrow....Keith is the one who turned me on to the SF Sorrow album a few years ago....he has fantastic taste in music and is very musically adventuorus...he has turned me on to many, many great artists/bands over the years.......broadened my musical horizons...thanks dude...

Thursday after supper Keith was laying on the couch working out a drum pattern on garage band on his iPad....then he headed upstairs to the attic/music room and worked for a few hours.....the next day after supper he went back up....I could hear him working on some vocals and the lovely fuzz guitar tone...it sounded kinda good...he came down at around 10:00 and said he was finished and the song was mixed and mastered and did I want to have a listen....ok, upstairs I go.....hit play.....holy sheeet man...I couldn't believe my ears....perfection....nailed it perfectly...I was gobsmacked with how good it sounded.....and in such a short amount of time...what the heck...you some kind of Todd Rungren wizard or what...spectacular....totally nailed the late 60's sound and vibe......astonishing really....what an ear...

Good, great, awesome and brilliant job Keith....afterwards I listened to the original and I have to say I like this version better.....totally nailed it.

what a wonderful version!...I have to stop listening to the colleagues on SC, ...I'm not going to have the courage to post myself any more

Holy shit, dude!

I know this song and the album, and your cover is fantastic! Great attention paid to all the little details (that bass is balls-on), everything is perfect from vocals right down to all the guitars and Mellotron bits.

Absolutely love it!
