Yep. Same way with me. My Dad payed it at home, and it could be heard on A.M. radio. Even though I was just a kid, the wrong demographic for this piece, I loved it from the beginning. It was great seeing the recording here, after listening to it all these years.
The thing is though, a pop A.M. radio station in a big city then, could have an amazing variety of artists & genres! On the same pop station in the mid sixties one could hear Sinatra, The Airplane, Patsy Cline, Ray Charles, Herb Alpert, The Doors, Petula Clark, Dean Martin, Dianna Ross, Roy Robinson, Willie Nelson, The Beatles, The Dead, Buddy Holly, Marvin Gaye, etc., etc. It was great! My favs were often the local garage bands!
For your enjoyment (hopefully), here below is another similar studio set from the same era that may interest you. To my ears, it sounds like it's the take that got on the album release pressing.
(interesting documentary intro, then recording starts at 6:20)
