Dairymaid's Lament (single)
Background
Recorded February 1967 at Walt Andrus studio; unreleased.
In a 2023 podcast interview, Mayo Thompson would detail how after playing a rendition of “Mother” live at a club in early 1967, record producer “Bob Steffek” who had a hit on Shazam Records with “Wild Woody” would approach them for a single.
They ended up recording “Dairymaid’s Lament” backed with “Free Piece” in February 1967; however, the single was never released. When the group went on to be discovered by Lelan Rogers at KNUZ, Steffek granted them permission to sign to International Artists.[1]
