Scotty,  Thanks for the comments.  I will listen for the sizzle and see if I can hear what you are noticing.
 
Ed, Your input is always valuable to me, even if it is only worth $.02 in 1968.    I will definitely listen with your advise in mind.  I probably am not going to have time to make any changes until I get back from next weeks business trip to Anaheim.

Cool song.  The guitars sound great and good job on the vocal.  I have nothing to add to the comments above other than you might want to consider balancing (volume and position L-R) the vocal/harmony just a bit to make them sound a bit more compatible.
Nice one!!!

That Ric in the pic is sweet, I wish I still had mine. Gave me a late 60s vibe.

Yep Robbie, that's the one guitar their probably going to have to pry from my dead hands one of these days.

Freddy, thanks for listening and commenting. I will listen to those harmonies again.

I have several like that... (*That they'll have to pry from me?)
 
I actually had a bass like that back in the 70s? Birdseye maple... It's what I learned to play the bass on. Then I had another recently, maybe 6 years ago? For a few weeks :-) You've got to love Rickenbacker... They make their own instruments, and by that I mean "It's a Rickenbacker..." Great guitars. You need to learn to go fretless! It's like going braless! :-D My favorite bass ever is my Fretless. It's a Warwick Thumb Bass, but I think it's more about the mode than the manufacture? The mode being "Fretless..." It takes some time getting used to. But when you do? You'll never love a fretted bass the way you'll love that fretless. You trust me on this one. If you don't have one? Set your sights on one. Play it (it will take some time, but not too much if you're a bass player) Learn to play the fretless, you will thank me for this advice if you do so.

Love Rickenbackers, they are certainly unlike any other instrument out there. I will have to try a fret less one of these days Robbie. I'm currently doing some training with my company out in Anaheim, I hope to get back to tweaking this one when I get back to TX this weekend.

Good tune!  Catchy.   I also like the guitars, nice and fat.

I enjoyed it! I do agree with some of the others that the cymbals are a little too sizzly ,maybe just need to come down a little in the mix. I also like the tone of the guitars. Good job!

Steve & teego, thanks for listening.
 
I uploaded a new version of this song this morning and have made some tweaks to the areas suggested.  Hopefully it sounds a little closer to done. 
 
Bapu was right, the last little bit of vocals on at the ending needed a slight bit of tuning on the lower register voice.  It was just a tad flat.  Good ears Ed!

Well, it was ok, but it was forgettable.  Please, I don't mean to sound like an ass, just trying to be honest.  I love old, classic rock, and yet, the melody just wasn't interesting.  Maybe it's that particular 3-chord riff, E-G-A, if that's where you played it.  It just doesn't seduce me at all.  
 
Vox and instrumentation sounded fitting and all that, though.
