Mark Wirtz's website is at http://markwirtz0.tripod.com/mw/index.html
He is also a active member of the Spectropop and Harmony Home Yahoo Clubs.
Very
nice with answering questions about his production work in the 1960s.

Thats the first time I heard that song too! What a mindblower.
In the early 90's I picked up a bargan bin cassette copy of "Present Tense"
that was reissued by Bac-Trac/CBS Special Products and fell in love with that
LP - it took me years to find the reissue on LP. I suggest getting "Present
Tense" and the 3-CD "Magic Time" box set on Sundazed for an introduction.
