Track of the Week - 5 December 2021
I finished reading John Peel's autobigraphy/biography Margrave of the Marshes this week. Part of the book that Peel wrote before his untimely death in 2004 touches on his love for 1960s Californian psychedelic rockers The Misunderstood.
Such was his devotion that he sent the band to London (to stay with his mum) as he thought they'd have more success in this country. He also felt that I Can Take You to the Sun was one of the top three songs of the 20th Century. It wasn't successful though and the band disbanded soon afterwards.
I also went to a pub called the Sun Inn this week to meet up with one of my old work family for lunch so the choice works on two levels.
If you like this track (it is tremendous!) and want more then I can recommend the compilation album Before the Dream Faded.
