| EPISODE SIX-Lucky Sunday/Mr. Universe U.S. Chapter One 45-2902 1968 |
Six piece British harmony pop group the Episode six released ten singles during their career from 1965-1968. Four of them were issued here in the United States including this one which was originally issued in the U.K. on Chapter One (CH-103) in October 1968 and was released here the following month where it would be their final American release (the band would cut one more single back home before falling apart when lead singer Ian Gillian and bassist Roger Glover defected to replace Rod Evans and Nicky Simper in Deep Purple).
"Lucky Sunday" is a perfect little slice of orchestrated sunshine pop (with orchestration care of the legendary Les Reed) that's vocal perfection thanks to the band's razor sharp choral ability that's always made them sound like Britain's answer to Spanky and Our Gang (to my ears anyway). The music almost takes a back seat to the choral pop perfection of the number though the strings and regal horns certainly work well enough together!
