^Yep – iconic and much parodied!
Have you seen these posters? From photographs by Richard Avedon - 1967. I think they’re pretty amazing –

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

yeah, I was aware of those little facts re: the album Gryphon, but nevertheless, its still a good read...
a super deluxe version of the album comes out in September which includes remastered album, 2 disks of demos..
also includes "the ballad of J&Y"/"old brown shoe" which were recorded during that time, also Macca's original version of Mary Hopkins' "goodbye"...
gonna be an interesting set IMO
