The key ingredient here is the childlike nostalgia that this song evokes, lyrically speaking. You can practically hear the kaleidoscopic colours in this tune, as should be expected in a psych tune. This song is rich with contrast, between the clanging guitar and the sweetness of the strings. Appropriately, it’s Bromley’s voice that stands out here, with lyrics that touch on a very important ingredient to be found on a certain kind of psychedelia that was in it’s last phase by the time this song had been recorded.

By the end of the decade, he was encouraged by Polydor to collect some of his singles together, including this one, for a full length album – Sing. As you can hear, their sound had morphed into a classic Beatlesque stew with not just a few Who references, with the band having once recorded Pete Townshend’s “Circles” in 1966.īromley was primarily a songwriter, penning tunes for singer Jackie DeShannon. The Fleur De Lys had trolled the edges of the ’60s rock scene, with touches from Chas Chandler, Andrew Loog Oldham’s Immediate Records, and Jimmy Page who had produced one of their singles, “Moondreams”. That band in turn was something of a rearguard to the British Invasion, launching in 1964, but never quite reaching the heights of their fellow beat combos who’d made the trip across the Atlantic. On that album, and on this song, he is backed by The Fleur De Lys, his labelmates at the time. It’s “So Many Things”, a 1969 song as taken from his sole album Sing. Listen to this track by British songwriter and lost Macca-esque psychedelia creator John Bromley. Great ballads, great rock, great guitars, great fun. There was no other band like the Fleurs who often drew their creativity from the frequent changes of band members.

"Circles" and "Mud in Your Eye" are first-rate pounding mod guitar tunes "Gong With the Luminous Nose" is pop-psych at its silliest "Reflections of Charlie Brown" is pop-psych at its most introspective and Sharon Tandy's "Daughter of the Sun" is a lost near-classic with witchy vocals and sinister psychedelic guitar. But if you like mid-to-late '60s mod-psych, it's a decent item to have around, with some sparkling (occasionally crazed) guitar work, unusually constructed tunes that sometimes meld soul and psychedelia, and nice harmonies. It goes without saying that such a manic hodgepodge is geared toward the hardcore collector market.
