Several successful singles followed, including, "I Should Be Glad", "Don't Turn Your Back", "The One For You", "So Many Girls", "I'll Be Doggone", "In My Dreams" and "Miss Mac Baren". "Every Raindrop Means A Lot" was the group's first psychedelic-inspired single; it was released in early 1967. In November of the same year Tages released the LP [m398154].
