Can't Seem to Make You Mine (The Seeds)

12 APRIL 1966

Influential ‘garage band’ The Seeds released their eponymous debut album during this month. It peaked at #132 on the US Billboard album charts.

The lead song on the A-side was ‘Can’t Seem to Make You Mine’ which had been released as a single during 1965 and failed to chart, but was re-released in 1967 and reached #41 in the US. It features lead singer Sky Saxon's distinctive love-them-or-hate-them vocals.

Despite a solid effort, the Seeds never achieved serious commercial success, their highest chart position for a single being #35.
