This is a note-for-note cover of a song from Traffic's first album by a Scarborough-based band, recorded in 1969.
What's interesting about it is the identity of the lead singer of The Mandrakes. It's a 20-year-old Robert Palmer.
He was to join The Alan Bown! and then Vinegar Joe before enjoying his greatest success as a solo artist in the Eighties. Like Steve Winwood, the original singer of No Face, No Name and No Number, he was signed to Island Records.
