This one originally came out on Shocking Blue's 1969 album "At Home". The North American release was on a 1970 Colossus LP. The big hits on there were "Venus" and "Mighty Joe", both excellent songs, but the whole album was top notch.
In 1988, a new band from Washington state in the U.S.A. got to make their first record. For the "A" side they decided to record a cover version of "Love Buzz" from that Shocking Blue LP. Not sure about the story behind the Nirvana/Shocking Blue connection but the photographer who did their first promo photos talks about driving around looking for locations with a Shocking Blue tape playing in the car. I wonder if Curt had the 8-track?
