      Maybe mispronouncing St. Louis a bunch of times in a song didn't endear them very well to the average American listener

    This is brilliant. Like so many other Aussie bands of the era, Easybeats are massively underrated.

      This crap is far from brilliant. It's rubbish. You really must try to listen to really excellent pop more and learn to discriminate between it and this kind of shite.

    Issued in America on Motown's Rare Earth label, This only bottomed out on Billboard's Top 100 at #100. It was the second single to chart in Billboard's Top 100. A third single, 1966's "Women (Make You Feel Alright") bubbled under on Billboard's charts before the big US hit "Friday On My Mind" in 1967 at Billboard's #16 position. That was pretty much it for The Easybeat's chart singles in the US. Australia and New Zealand treated them much better as a hit group. The spin off band of George Young's younger brothers Angus and Malcolm in the band AC/DC would eventually eclipse The Easybeats in sales and worldwide success.

    This is the Easybeats? A massive horn section? I'd never have known it was them if I heard it blind. It's a well recorded but mediocre song and doesn't sound like them at all, or anyone else, for that matter. It's throwaway studio pop that says nothing lyrically or musically. I wouldn't (and didn't) buy it. They were disappearing before our eyes by this point. You'd really want to hear this one twice?
