Mike,
Nice job.I don't know why but I was actually surprised at how many knew
the tune.
Thanks. I suppose I am too, but that may be mostly because enjoyment of that entire canon was such a hidden pleasure for so many. There is a even type of fan out there who bemoans the official release as it has made their 'inside knowledge' into something more public. A pretty daft attitude, I may say.

This is print slick from the 1967 run that was going to be the album...but never was. It's signed by Frank Holmes, the artist and was given to me a few years ago in payment for a favour or two I did for people connected to the band. I've been offered substantial sums for it, but it's going nowhere. Incidentally, Frank Holmes only got to see the live version of 'Smile' because he was working as an usher at the theatre where they were playing.
