Flowerman / 14 Hour Technicolour Dream (1967)

A two-sided single released at the height of the British Summer of Love, with the A-side offering gentle, whimsical psychedelic pop and the B-side written to commemorate the real-life 14 Hour Technicolour Dream happening at Alexandra Palace in April 1967, an event that featured Pink Floyd and Tomorrow. The B-side has since appeared in Record Collector's list of the 100 greatest psychedelic records.
