In letters of gold on a snow-white kite, I will write I love you.

 This was one of the tracks I recall being on Jimmy Savile's Time Travels, a compilation tape I had when I was about eight or so. It got played until it was literally worn out and was a massive stepping stone into the world of sixties music. It was certainly not unsuccessful at the time but I consider it to be an obscurity as, like many other hits of the sixties, it faded from peoples' memories over the years. To me it is near-perfect psychedelic pop, and although it might be considered kitsch by some, I'm sure they'll get over it.
