I've got this single as well! (big surprise, haha). Sascha Burland was also the guy behind a host of fun n' cool records, including the Nutty Squirrels and the fuzzy (or is that fizzy?) Utica National Carbonation Club 45!
Cool thrift score, and great post linking the '67 sentiment to our current state as a nation.
Yeah! Sascha was definitely into the sixties NYC jingle business. Let's not forget he also wrote the "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)" jingle, famously made into a hit by the T-Bones (and a great one at that!)
Great message, Dan! Reading a lot of Vonnegut lately, and even though his books are often full of gloom, the idea of kindness almost always appears as something we need to prioritize more.
Many moons ago, when I was interviewing Wayne Coyne about the Flaming Lips’ Christmas on Mars, he told me, “You can always be kind - it doesn’t cost anything to be kind.” That has stuck with me ever since.
Leaning into gratitude and love in these dark times is a recipe for contentment and serenity and is something I wish more people went for more regularly. The world would be in a better place for it.
I adore “lively hi-fi” in the logo.
So great, right?
"You Can't Put Too Much Love Into It" is SUCH a Great Title/Lyric
So simple, yet so right-on!

I name checked the Nutty Squirrels above, but had no idea about the UNCC 45!

Also mentioned above!
Right on, my friend. Well put.
Thanks, kid. We ALL needed that.

You've said it all oh so well. Love you to pieces! We will survive. Of course, I have very little to say about the music!!!!
