THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE 1960s THAT NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD
984) P.K. Limited — “My Imagination”
As to this sparkling gem that seemingly appeared out of nowhere, Tony 879 says:
[It] is a lovely summery little pop psyche number with plucked guitar and wistful harmonies that sounds like something off one of those Fading Yellow comps [Well, it is on Soft Sounds for Gentle People Vol. 3!] or that a band of the time like The Association would have come up with. A very cool little Hippy/trippy/Folk/Psych number indeed. An anomaly it seems as the rest of their output seems to be horrendously twee country rock pastiches that should be avoided at all costs. Just get this one and be transported away on gentle clouds in a bright blue sky….baby…

45sUS afds that “[t]his pleasant song was released in March 1970, as a flip side of ‘Ain’t No Way’ and then resumed in February of the following year, as a flip of ‘Shades Of Gray.’ The song was composed by the duo and produced by David Gates.” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17d5K5T69sM)
As to P.K. Limited, William Sargent tells us that “[l]ead members were Dan Peyton and Marty Kaniger [who] had formed The Loved Ones in 1965 while in high school. They signed with Colgems as songwriters and later took on the name P.K. Limited.” (Superstar in a Masquerade) 45sUS adds that “[t]his excellent folk-rock duo, despite having produced six singles with a total of eleven tracks between 1969 and 1971, failed to release an album.” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17d5K5T69sM)
A number of P.K. Limited’s songs appeared in the ’70 movie Getting Straight, starring Elliot Gould as a “Vietnam vet and former social radical [who] is conflicted by his desire to become a teacher and his sympathy with anti-establishment student protests.” (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065775/)
