My very first girlfriend bought me that 45 record for my birthday, probably in 1966 I suppose as my BD is mid-June so the timing is right - lol. I remember being so excited getting that record from her. It certainly lasted a lot longer than she didThe Rolling Stones had the top song in the US with "Paint It Black" on the 11th June 1966, the first #1 Pop single to feature a sitar.
In the UK, the song peaked at #1 on the Record Retailer chart during a 10-week stay, becoming the bands' sixth song to accomplish that feat.
