Summer of Love hit 'Let's Go To San Francisco', further 45s (some using alternative period aliases), two unreleased-at-the-time concept albums and several tracks now gaining their first-ever issue. Inspired equally by the Haight-Ashbury scene, the worldwide Summer of Love and Brian Wilson's recent groundbreaking work, in mid-1967 former Ivy Leaguers John Carter and Ken Lewis pieced together the hugely ambitious, six-minute 'Let's Go To San Francisco'. The result was a UK Top Five hit, a success that encouraged Carter to record more material in the same vein including follow-up 'A Walk In The Sky', which flopped at home but became another Top Ten hit in mainland Europe. When psychedelia withered and died, Carter abandoned the name in public but continued to work on a brace of Moody Blues-style concept albums that failed to appear at the time. A four-hour set, 'Midsummer Dreaming' gathers up all four Flower Pot Men singles, those two aborted albums and sundry other material that either didn't gain a release or was issued under other aliases, such as the highly regarded 'Mythological Sunday' (credited to Friends) and 'Midsummer Deaming' (John Carter \u0026amp; Russ Alquist). An essential item for lovers of intelligent, melodic, harmony-based late 60s British pop and psychedelia, 'Midsummer Dreaming' includes five hitherto-unissued studio tracks as well as a brace of late 1967 Radio 1 sessions that are also gaining their first-ever official issue.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Go To San Francisco Parts 1 and 2 (original mono version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMythological Sunday (John Carter lead vocal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Walk In The Sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlow Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSay Goodbye To Yesterday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow And Then\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooks Of Cake And Kindness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildren Of Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMythological Sunday (Tny Burrows lead vocal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidsummer Dreaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Go To San Francisco Parts 1 and 2 (stereo mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE=MC2\/Musha Hada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Go To San Francisco-BBC session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalifornia Dreamin'* BBC session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowers Never Bend With The Rainfall- BBC session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Worry Baby- BBC session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Walk In The Sky- BBC session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrologue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese Heavy Times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMythological Sunday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlow Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooks Of Cake And Kindness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGotta Be Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeaven Knows When\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Dove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow And Then\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSay Goodbye To Yesterday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemories Of Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutumn Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorning Prayer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Am Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJourney's End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll I Have Is You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrave New World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildren Of Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Laughing Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMr. Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagic People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn The Sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConversations (In A Station Light Refreshment Bar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Letter To Josephine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTahiti Farewell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePantomime People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Night To Be Remembered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye To Rosalie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunday In The Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoing Round And Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife Is Living\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoberto Billow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen I Was Born\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain, Rain, Rain (John Carter lead vocal version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoing Nowhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Think I'll Be Leaving Tonight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Tony Burrows lead vocal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLand Of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake Me Along\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLady Of The Blue Lagoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAm I Losing You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMan Without A Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Can Never Be Wrong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn A Moment Of Madness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoung Birds Fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5013929195721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grapefruit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.30.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Squatch in the Pit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470475575549,"sku":"5013929195721","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0337\/6889\/8692\/files\/4415973-3369682.jpg?v=1777332632","url":"https:\/\/www.squatchinthepit.com\/products\/flower-pot-men-midsummer-dreaming-an-anthology-1967-1970-uk-cd","provider":"Squatch In The Pit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
