Little is known about Andy Forray, but prior to Decca he cut 2 singles for EMI / Parlophone.  In 1968 and off the back of his performance in the original cast of the musical 'Hair', he was enlisted to record on the soundtrack album alongside artists such as Sonja Kristina, Paul Korda, Paul Nicholas, Jimmy Winston, Marsha Hunt and Alex Harvey.

From the success of that, Decca offered Forray a deal with their label and cut this classic psychedelic offering.  The single bombed without trace, and is one of the rarest 45s of the era.  Finding an original is a near impossible task these days.
