“Through Eyes and Glass’ was our first original recorded song. It came out on the Topaz label in 1968, and only sold a handful of copies, but it was the start of our career. We recorded this in a tiny studio in downtown Seattle under the Monorail. It may as well have been Abbey Road, because we’d never been in any recording studio before. The session came about because we were helping my friend Chris Blaine with a country band. That band only had a few songs, and there was a little time left in the day they’d booked, so we cut three covers, and snuck in this original song of our own”. -AW“When the record came out, they left my name off the songwriting credit. They also misspelled the name of the band. But it was our welcome to the music business”! -NWYou can find this song on Heart’s ‘Strange Euphoria’ box set here: http://amzn.to/12TyX9s

The Zombies || “I Love You” (Single Mix)

Another group had a hit with this tune,though it was written by Chris White of the Zombies while the band was in disarray, and putting together their now all-time classic “Odessey and Oracle” album.

The original Zombies track, now an obscurity, was really something, and much better. This is the single mix and sounds great.
