                             "Enter The Young"
                              (Terry Kirkman)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
  This song was the group's selection for the follow-up single to "Along
  Comes Mary".  However, the regional breakout of "Cherish" in the midwest
  changed that choice.  The version for the "HITS" album was re-cut [AWR:
  I know - it blows dead bears] and not from the first album.  This could
  have been the theme song for the 60's youth movement.
