CRIMSON AND CLOVER
“Crimson and Clover” was released in late 1968 as a rough mix after a radio station leaked it. It spent 16 weeks on the U.S. charts, reaching number one in the United States and other countries. The single has sold 5 million copies, making it Tommy James and the Shondells’ best-selling song. In 2006, Pitchfork Media named it the 57th best song of the 1960’s. (More from Wikipedia)
Tommy James and the Shondells was one of Roulette Records’ big artists; they had a lot of records on the charts – including one of the biggest psychedelic hit songs of the 1960’s, “Crimson and Clover” – and their albums are really good as well.
