I just learned 78 records eventually had a flip-side

She used the vibrato-voice that was so very common in that era.

Thanks

Days of Future Passed on a reel to reel was better than just “Nights in White Satin.”

Days of Future Passed - an ALBUM which INCLUDES "Nights In White Satin" is better than JUST "Nights In White Satin"? Do you wanna put down the beer and try again at that?

“No Loving You Has Made Me Bananas”

I think you’ve just solved a big mystery. I remember hearing something, which I remembered as “My love for you is bananas”, in 1968, maybe four or five times. I’ve been wondering about it for decades. For years I thought it was a line from Cinderella Rockefeller, which also was a pretty goofy song, also from 1968, but there’s no such line in the song.

“Loving You Has Made Me Bananas” must be the song I remember.

How could you not understand what I typed?   The album, as John Lodge said, was

"a concept album tracking a day in the life of Everyman, with original songs relating to different parts of the day performed in chronological order, introduced and interspersed with orchestral music."
You cannot get the full effect of the last song on the album without listening to the previous songs in order.

“Loving You Has Made Me Bananas” is done in the style of a Big Band radio broadcast from the 1930s-early ‘40s and sounds authentic, although it doesn’t make sense (”one mile high, two-and-a-half blocks from the center of old New Orleans”). Nonetheless, it was a hit.

“Nights in White Satin” was a hit by itself in 1972. But I first heard “Days of Future Past” all the way through on a cassette while on a long drive to Flagstaff. The LP is a masterpiece.
