a 40th anniversary vinyl reissue. 'flowers in the rain' was the first track played on radio 1, when it began broadcasting on 30 september 1967, introduced by tony blackburn. the song, which reached number 2, was less guitar-oriented than their previous two singles, and featured an inventive woodwind arrangement by producer tony visconti. the song generated controversy when the band were sued by the prime minister of the united kingdom, harold wilson, for libel after secunda produced a cartoon postcard to promote the single of wilson in bed with his secretary, marcia williams, with whom he was allegedly having an affair. the group lost the court case and had to pay all costs, with all royalties earned by the song being given to charities of wilson's choice, a ruling which remained in force even after wilson's death in 1995. this limited 7" features an unreleased version of 'flowers in the rain' on the a-side and 'move' on the flip which again is unreleased.
