I think this is my favorite '60s Girl Group song. This is a song that was a B-Side to "Take the Time" or "The Sweet Sounds of Summer".

What does everyone else think?

Love it. But then I love the Shangri-Las indiscriminately. I bet I don't have more than 30 total posts on ILM, and 20 of those are probably about this group. Anyway, just listened to this one again, and yes, it's great.

I really like "The Sweet Sounds of Summer" particularly the organ/drums breakdown in the middle.

OK, I have "Footsteps," it's the PSAs I was curious about. Thanks!
