«Enter The Young»
(Terry Kirkman)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
This song was the group’s selection for the follow-up single to «Along
Comes Mary». However, the regional breakout of «Cherish» in the midwest
Changed that choice. The version for the «HITS» album was re-cut [AWR:
I know — it blows dead bears] and not from the first album. This could
Have been the theme song for the 60’s youth movement.
