@thora_6163: Upon release by Fontana Records on 24 March 1967, the single received mixed reviews by critics, who deemed it inferior to their previous single "Semi-Detached, Suburban Mr. James", and criticized its lightweight pop sound. Despite these critical setbacks it became a huge commercial success, reaching number 4 in the UK and number one in several other European, African and Oceanian countries. As it failed to chart in the United States, Mickie Most released a version by the Yardbirds there, becoming a minor hit for them. #manfredmann #hahasaidtheclown #60s #memories #beatclub #🇬🇧 #childhoodmemories #63dito61 #CapCut
