The Trouble With Kurt Cobain and Nirvana (i) Tiny Goddess

The trouble with Kurt Cobain was that he named his band Nirvana.
This means that whenever I mention the original Nirvana, the true Nirvana, I have to explain I don’t mean a grungy bunch from Seattle.
The earlier (1960s) Nirvana’s mainstays were Patrick Campbell-Lyons and Alex Spyropoulos. Together with producer Chris Blackwell they produced a series of idiosyncratic singles with classical/orchestral influences and also released what was probably the first concept album, The Story Of Simon Simopath, which had a quintessentially 60s psychedelic cover – complete with blocky unequal sized lettering.
This is their first single, Tiny Goddess, which has more than a hint of Pachelbel.
