Yes, sorry. I saw you mention red in your reply and thought you were referring to I See Red. Split Enz' early stuff was very arty/out there.

I suspect that the swapping out of Phil Judd for Neil Finn had a huge effect on their sound, plus I also imagine there was a gentle nudge or three from their record company for more commercial (saleable) product.

Just a great 60s Rock track!

UK Psych rockers The Gods - Towards The Skies (Genesis, 1968). Fun Fact: From 1965-1967, The Gods guitarist was Mick Taylor, who would go on to find greater fame with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and then The Rolling Stones.
