Thanks for the heads up. Never heard more than the radio (single) version of Arthur Brown. Listened to the album cut at the 3:49 point, it did give the song some kind of surrealistic context. Clearly a drug-scene experience, which was true of a number of songs in that era.
I'm really thankful I was not a drug scene participant. In the words of a Paul Revere and the Raiders lyric "that road goes nowhere" (from the song, "Kicks").
It's interesting, but I was pretty much limited to radio versions of songs until my last two years of high school, which were 1970-71 and 1971-72. My first albums were "Donovan's Greatest Hits," "The Doors," and the first two Three Dog Night albums, "Three Dog Night" and "Suitable For Framing."
