(Pete Ham - Tom Evans)
Australia
Sherbet's first single, on Festival label.
This is unusual among Sherbet singles in having vocals by Dennis Laughlin, having been recorded before Darryl Braithwaite joined. With Braithwaite as lead singer, the band went on to be one of the most successful Australian pop acts of the 70s.
