Will I Be Older?

Pickup Sticks was one of the first psychedelic records to become a big hit, making No. 3 in the UK and No. 11 in the US. That would be the group's last record with Georgio Gomelsky as credited producer; Samwell Smith had been doing all the actual production work. Beck ended up being hospitalized with what has been variously described as Maningitis and exhaustion. His replacement as manager and co-producer was Simon Napier Bell, best known for co-writing the English language lyrics, for Dusty Springfield, you don't have to say you love me.
