SUMMER SNOW - FLYING ON THE GROUND / YOUR THOUGHTS HAVE WINGS, 1967



This promo single by short lived group Summer Snow is a pleasant, lite affair featuring a nice cover of the Neil Young penned Buffalo Springfield tune 'Flying On The Ground Is Wrong'.  A few years back it was compiled on the excellent Now Sounds CD Book A Trip: The Psych Pop Sounds Of Capitol Records.  I've been enjoying that disc recently and was pleasantly surprised to find a nice copy of this Summer Snow 45 (for $1) while perusing the other day.  It is noteworthy that 'Flying On The Ground' features backup vocals and instrumentation by members of the Peppermint Trolley Company, a current favorite of mine.  'Your Thoughts Have Wings' is a quick (somewhat forgettable) acoustic ballad with exchanging male/female vocals.
