'We'd already worked on the tune,' he told Mike Markesich, 'a few weeks later I'm in the car and Eight Miles High came on. I was crushed. I thought I had something unique.'"
In The Guardian's music blog, Jon Savage praises the Dovers's "The Third Eye" from 1966 as one of the first pop songs influenced by LSD.
