"Hit" records was a label in the sixties who specialized in releasing half-assed covers of popular songs of the day, aimed at the music buyer on a budget (or the young music lover's thrifty and/or square parents, who didn't know any better.) These records went for like 30 cents, where as an actual Lovin' Spoonful single probably would have ran upwards of a whole dollar at the time. So it is what it is. Nowadays, you and me know it as what you'd call 'a cheap knockoff.' This one's actually a not a half bad version though. Considering the source material.
I recently found 7 or 8 more of these, most songs i know the original versions of, and two that stumped even me... Now i'm obsessed with everything on this label.
Enjoy!
