Thanks Werner. For some reason, the youtube uploads time out on my computer at work before the upload completes. in the future, I will just post the link.
"You're Gonna Miss Me" was their "big hit"; although, I only became aware of it upon hearing an instrumental version (played on a Burns "Double Six") by Teisco Del Rey (Dan Forte). I found the original on a Rhino 60's compilation.

I always forget as well, that only the bit after the = (the video's unique code) should be included between the youtube tags

Interesting trailer! Will be a long time before we get it in Europe, I bet :(

I don't know that song at all. As I wrote, this is the only Roky song I know: - I Walked with a Zombie (thanks to the R.E.M. cover):

These guys STARTED the whole Psychedelic music movement. They never get the credit they deserve.

If anybody else has Netflix on demand, they are playing "you're gonna miss me" on it.



Pretty sad what happened to Roky. :(
