On Mike Wallback's Show that Time Forgot on Tameside Radio this afternoon, he played Loving Spoonful's Do You Believe in Magic? which he said pre-dated their hits Daydream and Summer in the City

Loving Spoonful's Do You Believe in Magic? which he said pre-dated their hits Daydream and Summer in the City
It was the title track of their first album, and their first single. John Sebastian wrote it.
He also played an early song with Jeff Lynne in the band The Idle Race called The Skeleton & the Roundabout
The album 'Birthday party' is a fine slab of pop psych. dated now, but some of the tracks still stand up. I'm still fond of the last track 'End of the road' - used to finish sets with it years back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUfMre3-Kg0

Mention of the wonderful Lovin' Spoonful will definitely wake me from my slumber and get me posting again after such a long absence from this thread. They're second only to the Beach Boys as my favourite American band of the sixties. In fact I like the Spoonful so much that I devoted the second post in last year's Vabosity's Third Anniversary Review Of The Thread entirely to them. That post featured the aforementioned Do You Believe In Magic? and four other just as excellent tracks, and is definitely worth repeating:-
Vabosity's Third Anniversary Review Of The Thread - Post #2.
Spot on, Capablanca!
I find it a sad indictment of the Great British record buying public of the day that such an excellent band (The Lovin' Spoonful) featuring such a brilliant songwriter (John Sebastian) only had two major UK hits (Daydream and Summer In The City). Of course, I could put a positive spin on it, and also say that the Great British record buying public of the day should be thanked for making so many classic Lovin’ Spoonful tracks eligible for this thread.
As with Sam Cooke, I love every single Lovin’ Spoonful track that has been submitted to this thread, but I could only pick five, and they can be found below.
The Lovin’ Spoonful - Do You Believe In Magic (1965) First submitted to the thread in May 2010.
Urban Bassman, the poster who first submitted this track to the thread, described it as the perfect pop song. I completely agree with that statement, the perfect pop song is the perfect description.
The Lovin’ Spoonful - Younger Girl (1965) First submitted to the thread in July 2010.
The Critters had a minor UK hit single with this song in 1966 and the Hondells had a minor U.S. hit single with it in the same year. Both are fine covers and are well worth checking out. However, my preferred version is the original album track by the Lovin’ Spoonful.
