The Seekers' first hit single, recorded at Abbey Road studios in London in the autumn of '64, reaching #1 in Feb '65. Originally in mono, here is a new stereo mix using DES (Digitally Extracted Stereo), my thanks to Paul Wilkie for his great work on this. He has since done an even better version which you can find on his channel
