RH has a memoir and a covers album out and both titles include '1967'. In June's Uncut magazine he picked his favourite tracks from 1967 including Red telephone, saying
"It was hard to know what to pick from Forever Changes, but “The Red Telephone” is pretty creepy. Extraordinary chords as well. I play it from time to time, and I have to relearn them all every time. I don’t know how Arthur Lee came up with that. It’s quite amazing. He was an influence on Syd Barrett as well – Barrett was a big Arthur Lee fan."
