I can still picture them in their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.
They sang
Let's Spend The Night Together.

The next day I remember the hot topics with my friends at school were the Stones and sex.
This album was released soon after their appearance on the Sullivan Show:

They played every song from their brand new debut album:
This was my first live taste of the "San Francisco Sound" and I was in awe.
That summer, The Summer of Love, I spent as much time as I was able in the nearby City.

It was then and there that I found my first
Plastic Fantastic Lover
