Here's a cover that didn't make it into the playlist - Spectrum on ABC TV's show GTK in 1970, and their version of Ross Wilson's song "Make your stash", with a tune arranged from "The Planets" by classical composer Gustav Holst. The song eventually ended up in the hands of Manfred Mann in the UK and in 1973, along with new lyrics, got to #9 in the charts as "Joybringer":
