But wait,as I struggle to focus through the Alcohol induced fug ( all the better to apreciate the sounds man),turns out to be The Move's "This Time Tomorrow"!Always thought of CH to be Beatles plagiarists but seems they they cast their net farther than I prevously thought. Not that that's a bad thing!.
