Wikipedia:
The Loved Ones were formed in Melbourne in 1965 by Gerry Humphrys, Ian Clyne and Kim Lynch who had previously been members of a youthful trad jazz band, The Red Onion Jazz Band. They signed to the In Records label (a subsidiary of W&G Records) early in 1966 and shot to national prominence scoring a major Australian hit with The Loved One.
They released an album in 1967 titled The Loved Ones’ Magic Box, a collection of their singles. The Loved Ones split later that year in October, just two years after they were formed. Magic Box is considered a classic recording and to this day in Australia it enjoys cult status and has reportedly never been out-of-print since it was released.

Lyrics:
Bring it all back baby
Everything we did was wrong
Leave it where you found it
And baby please be gone
Dreams are easy
But baby, understand
It was so very hard for you to leave your everlovin’ man
