It can best be heard during the intro, on either a guitar or a bass.

It's from 1969, sooooo Fuzzrite?

The Wikster wrote:The Banana Splits' bubblegum pop rock and roll was provided by studio professionals, including Joey Levine ("I Enjoy Being a Boy", "It's a Good Day for a Parade"); Al Kooper ("You're the Lovin' End"); Barry White ("Doin' the Banana Split"); Gene Pitney ("Two Ton Tessie") and Jimmy Radcliffe, who provided his songs ("I'm Gonna Find a Cave", "Soul", "Don't Go Away Go-Go Girl", "Adam Had 'Em" and "The Show Must Go On") but did not contribute vocals to Splits recordings.

The music director was music publisher Aaron Schroeder, while production duties were mainly handled by David Mook. When a heavier R&B vocal was needed, the music producers usually turned to singer Ricky Lancelotti, who was billed in the show credits under his stage name Rick Lancelot. Lancelotti went on to record several songs with Frank Zappa.[11] In 1968, The Banana Splits released an album on Decca Records titled We're the Banana Splits.
with just one listen, i figger the odds be better than 50/50 that's Ricky Lancelotti of later Zappa utilization on the vox. As for the fuzz, used to be everyone in the know knew Fleegle as a Sannerphile...j/k i have no idea :idk: sounds a bit gainier than a Maestro tho?

Also: David Mook? Really? Pretty thin cover Joe Meek :lol:
