This is one of the 1st songs I can remember ever hearing—sitting, listening to my parents record collection, as a 4, or 5 year old. The chord progression is 100% completely original: nothing had been written that even remotely resembled this song in the fall of 1966. Both the sound and the promotional film (shot in December 1966, in Kent, England) are the closest thing to a waking dream.
