Comments
Lots of people do not realise just how big the awful Herman’s Hermits were back then. Of course, this was before I Can See For Miles which, for me, started the rise of The Who. My Generation was released in ‘65 (ish) but grew as the band did. I have a blog and love the way such bad couplings were put together way back when.
