Attention, psychedelic pop archaeologists and '60s vinyl vultures! Prepare to unearth a gem so rare, it makes the Hope Diamond look like a piece of costume jewelry!
Straight outta Hertfordshire (the psychedelic capital of... well, Hertfordshire), The Mirage's "Wedding of Ramona Blair" is the mini pop symphony that almost was. It's like someone took a soap opera, dipped it in acid, and pressed it onto vinyl!
This 1967 masterpiece isn't just a song; it's a three-minute heartbreak that'll make you want to hug your turntable. Poor Ramona Blair got left at the altar, but The Mirage turned her tears into audio gold. It rubbed elbows with Pink Floyd's "See Emily Play" on the airwaves, narrowly missing hit status like a bride's bouquet sailing over eager bridesmaids.
But wait, there's more! Flip that bad boy over, and you've got "Lazy Man" - a track so Beatlesque, you'll swear John and Paul snuck into the studio. But with a twist of The Who and a dash of Manfred Mann, it's like the entire British Invasion decided to crash on your B-side!
Whether you're a long-time '60s scenester or a curious newcomer wondering why grandpa keeps talking about kaleidoscopes, this 7" is your ticket to a world where pop meets psych and heartbreak sounds oh so groovy.
P.S. No actual brides were harmed in the making of this record, but a few hearts might've been broken. Drop the needle and join the wedding party - just don't expect the bride to show up!
