Friday Music

Composed in 1968 - Crimson and Clover by Tommy James and the Shondells spent 16 weeks on the U.S. charts, reaching number one in the United States (in February 1969) and other countries. Selling 5 million copies it was the group’s best-selling song.   

Following the initial release the group remixed a longer five-and-a-half minute long version of the the song for their LP album.  During tape copying a slight speed error was inadvertently introduced which resulted in a drop in pitch during the new guitar solo sections.  That error remained unfixed.  And now I know the explanation for the hiccup in that version of the song.
