A Psychedelic Pop Debut
Mud’s “Flower Power” 7-inch vinyl single, was released in the UK on October 13, 1967, on CBS Records (catalogue: 203002). Backed with “You're My Mother,” this psychedelic pop track, written by R. Davis, marked the band's debut single during the Summer of Love era. Housed in a CBS company sleeve, the single is a rare artifact of Mud's pre-glam days before their 1970s hit-making reinvention.
