1965.

Germany #1, Canada #1, Norway #2, Sweden #2.
This is a fairly rare Finnish pressing. The song that blocked this from the #1 spot in Finnish charts was the Beatles’ “Yesterday”.
These guys were busy at the time. On the 4th of September they did two shows in Belfast, Northern Ireland, then they spent two days in RCA Studio in California and on the 8th, they did a show in Douglas, Isle of Man, then on the 11th, they started a tour in Germany and Austria.
The UK release had “The Singer Not the Song” as the flip side. The US release had the same songs as the Finnish one.
List price: Finnish release, not found in my US catalogs. These have been sold in eBay for 20-51 euros.
