The Twilighters originally released this as a
7" single (Mark VII 1023) in 1968
and it is listed as number 233 on the rarest Garage 45s website:
"Here's the crossover point, pinned precisely to mid-1968. The band uses fuzz guitar
and splendid farfisa, both played with savage intensity as they were in '66. The
drummer pounds mercilessly at the kit, blissfully unaware of the soon-to-be obvious
fact that it's missing several rack toms and a gong. However, the guitarist HAS
heard Jimi Hendrix and was very, very impressed. And the singer HAS heard Cream
and Vanilla Fudge, and has changed his vocal inflections to a deeper, more mature
soulful tener. This is what happened in 1968, when being a teen suddenly lost its
rosy glow. Vietnam the cause? We think so, among other factors. Still a monster
garage nugget, and one of the best and rarest on Mark VII out of Waco, itself one
of the top Texas garage labels of the mid-sixties. Hear it on Texas Flashback Vol.
2 LP or CD. The flip is (as usual) the total opposite - a slow, dreary bluesy love
ballad."
