Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'
Dreamin' love will be mine
Searchin', I'm always searchin'

Dreamin' love will be mine

This is the "A''s, B's and Rarities" take with producer Mickie Most clearly asking Arrows singer Alan Merrill to sound young and angst ridden. The alternate version on the EP ("Walk Away Renee/Dreamin'") is a much better more mature and natural vocal from the singer on the tune. I dunno, some people like the dramatic overwrought vocal flair. Not me! Thanks for posting this all the same!
