Record of the Year Revisited: 1968

Original Record of the Year: Honeybus - I Can't Let Maggie Go

I picked a record I would hear every shift when working in a supermarket as a youngster but somehow never got sick of. 

When I look at the list of Top 40 hits in 1968 I see plenty of decent records. Yet very few are what I would describe as outstanding. Then when it comes to songs I particularly like I ask the question of whether it's good enough to be record of the year.

The only one where the answer is yes it the record I picked in the first place. It's a song I continue to listen to regularly and makes me nostalgic about a time I never lived through. It also makes me a bit nostalgic about the time I used to hear it at work. Not the job itself, but the time in the late 90s when I was optimistic about the future.
