Another timeless (ha ha) "hit", B

B.
Extracts from the wiki on Time/Season: "Over a year after its original release, the track became a surprise hit in the United States, rising to number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Cashbox chart." "Time of the Season" was released only at Kooper's urging, initially coupled with its original UK B-side, "I'll Call You Mine", without success. After previous singles flopped, Date re-released "Time of the Season" backed with another UK flop single, "Friends of Mine", and it made its breakthrough in early 1969, over a year after the band split up. It reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in March,[4] topped the Cashbox chart,[5] and reached number one in Canada. It did not chart in the band's native Britain, despite being re-released twice, but it later found fame there with Rod Argent saying that it became "a classic in the UK, but it's never been a hit."[6] In mid-1969, it peaked at number two on the South African hit parade." Just goes to show...

I had no idea that Ultravox covered King's Lead Hat. Excellent! One of those songs that always sounds great no matter who's covering it. Thanks, Steve!
