I never cared much for the A-side, but this song really has something. Donovan's amusing enough with his portrait of swinging London, but the real star here is John Paul Jones' brilliant arrangement. So many things going on, from the dual electric/upright basses on the intro to the continually changing keyboards (John Cameron, I think): harpsichord to organ to harmonium to piano, and back again.
Do not click on this if you hate having a song stuck in your head for days.
