Boston Tea Party - "Laugh" rare B-side of "Spinach" on Big Boss

[chas_kit]

Found this odd one, a version of the Boston Tea Party's "Spinach" on Big Boss with "Laugh" (written by the Tokens, recorded by the Monkees also in 1967) on the flip instead of "Words"

How did the group get produced by Foy Willing? Seems an unlikely match.

I love that song. That's an amazing find, even 45cat doesn't have it listed. Did you obtain it?

 

[chas_kit]

Yes, I have it

Do you know anywhere there might be audio of Laugh online? I'm always looking for interesting Monkees related music. I heard TBTP's version of Words and it was musically different, yet similar in structure.

Sweet, tyvm. It has an almost jangly country twinge to it. Other than that it sounds pretty straight on of The Monkees' version. I doubt I could afford to asking price, or I'd be in the running to buy it.
