Class song, Class band, and Gentle Giant are legendry……Love ‘em!!!
SOOOOOO!!! Basically, Derek Shulman just blew a kiss to his keyboardist.
What a cheeky fellow, eh? If he had done that to Kerry Minnear, Minnear would have most ceartinly blushed haha!
Performed too fast and too careless. I also don’t like the ridiculing of the poetic part with the sultry oriental girl. Yes, the studio single was quite sophisticated. Wind sounds, eastern instruments. Everyone else in pop biz was plucking sitars!
I’ve read more than once that they hated the song…unbelievable. It’s one of the highlights of 1967, and that year was already bursting with highlights.

How did they go from this to Gentle Giant in such a short time? Two words: Kerry Minear, thats how!
Derek without a beard! I love it.
sound crap live
I’m glad they turned into Gentle Giant
I am grateful to you for posting this for two reasons: firstly, I like “Kites”; secondly, I bought a second-hand single from a junk shop around 1971. Someone had pasted a picture, taken from a classical painting, over the label on both sides, obliterating the label completely. It intrigued me so I invested the princely sum of 5 pence and took it home. I loved it but did not recognise the group, singer or song. 39 years later I have recognised it as “Thinking about my life”! Thanks very much !
@FaerieCrone That’ll be because of the Mellotron!
Another Kiwi here…I had never heard this until a few years ago, when I brought a double ( UK ) CD from the Warehouse, & this was one of the tracks.
@RachelBGreen No he wasn’t. check out his site homepages.ihug.co.nz/~peterkin/
@RachelBGreen that is so funny. i was just talking to him the other day. They were a truly great band. Lucky guy got to meet jimi hendrix. I live in Auckland, NZ as well, interestingly enough.
@MadUncle16
Peter who is now in Aukland? Have a look at this link on the Guardian website and read the comments: “/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-25618,00.html”
@MadUncle16
Not one of the “original” Shulman brothers though?
Peter (the bass player) is my uncle… I didnt know he was this famous
JULIA OH JULIA WHERE ART THOU….I remember u loved this song..i met u years ago at a yardsale in niagara falls wher i gave u some stringart and other 60s goodies. love 2 hear from u if u see this. shes a ballet dancer and musician flowerchild of 1969 whos mom owns her dance studio if anyone can help me…this is a great piece of music and history as well.
This song is clearly the inspiration for the car alarm sound. I hope that the boys are gathering the royalties from it.
Yes, I hear the Moody Blues influence now. I loved the song when I was a teenager and I still do now even after all these years.
@keyanntee
hi. a remix was done of this great song in the early 90′s altho it was turned into a trance tune. type in ultraviolet kites and have a listen
ahh, the memories this brings back.
