The Kingsmen's last attempt at a single in the 60s took them in a curious British psych direction courtesy of their former and once again producer Mark Wildey, who produced much of the band's 1966 material before departing for England, where he would produce such legendary Nugget acts as Skip Bifferty and The Fairytale. He returned to the states in 1968 and gave The Kingsmen two tracks written and recorded by the aforementioned bands to record themselves. "Guess I was Dreaming" by The Fairytale was the B-side, while this one, written by Graham Bell and John Turnbull of Skip Bifferty, was plugged as the A-side.
An interesting thing to attempt for a fading frat rock band, and upon release in May 1968, this single went nowhere, and what was left of The Kingsmen was swept right out the door.
