Thank you so much for this playlist!!!
Great idea to include a playlist of the singles - I look forward to listening to them all, thank you.
Weird how most the male singers sang with a deeper real male voice. Now almost all male singers sing with the high pitched girly voice
Because of the crisis in the Suez in June/July '67, most of these singles did not make to Australia.
The Sgt. Pepper's albums didn't appear on the store shelves until the first Monday in August.
Looking forward to November releases Tintern Abbey vacuum cleaner b/w Beeside
Looking back to 1967 from the dystopian 2020s , the dawning of the age of Aquarius was truly an explosion of the arts. Nowhere more obviously than in popular music. To my ears, even now, music was more ground breaking, musical and artistic then anything in today's charts.
No doubt.
There's some good new music out there, the problem is it's not popular or charting. The popular stuff all sounds the same, it bores me. You have to dig through the vast volume of music that's being made to find it.
@@Trea-pl4xr Try "Radio Garden"
Rasa Davies was the Kinks' secret weapon in those days. Her voice blended perfectly with Dave Davies' and added so much to the band's early classics.
I agree 100%. I can't imagine songs like "Waterloo Sunset" or "Death of a Clown" without her great backing vocals.
Lazy Old Sun...her voice was haunting on that track, love it!
@@calvinguile1315 Yes! Top track. Have to listen to that song now.
This is the kind of stuff I love to find on UA-cam! I've only heard three of these songs before: "Baby You're a Rich Man," "Death of a Clown" and "Museum." Growing up here in the States, I never heard the other spotlighted songs before. Thanks for posting this. I like the nostalgia behind it, but I love to be educated on UA-cam as well.
One thing I enjoy about your videos is to be introduced to music that either didn't make it to the States or didn't chart well where I lived. For me Sharon Tandy, someone I'd never heard of before, was quite the standout here--a powerful rocker!
What a bunch of educated choices on this list! Thank you!
Every one of these bands deserves a feature of its own, should you ever (?) run out of ideas.... 😉
Best 60's channel on UA-cam by far! ✊️😊😊😊
Thanks, Ole!
These are the coolest. The footage is amazing. The quotes from key musicians and the press from that era just add to the earnest quality. Great commentary. Thank you for producing such a fine look back.
Thank you very much!
Great 😃👍 Times and Memories from the Summer 🥇🥇 of Love 1967.
Like a lot of families in June 1967, mine all gathered around the TV to watch , the Beatles on the world's first live global television broadcast, called Our World. The band played All You Need Is Love. I was 15 on 11th July 1967 and would have bought All You Need is Love/Baby Your a Rich Man and enjoyed Death of a Clown on the radio. However, I have never heard of the other records reviewed here. I used to listen to Radio One, Radio Luxembourg and Radio Caroline to hear the pop records of the day.
Ha ha. I turned 15 July 7 in 67. Now I just turn 70 a few days ago. Thank you for posting
I love this page, many of these didn’t chart well in the U.S but that doesn’t mena they were wonderful! It”s great to see some “ under rated” UK singles on here other than the usual American artists/songs
Really enjoyed this one and the previous episode concerning the Psychedelic songs of the era. The Sharon Candy song was really good! Thank you for your channel, it's absolutely entertaining and informative.
That was Sharon Tandy ✌️
@@shaunw9270 well, probably Candy to some
@@tonycaniggia I have to say , she was sweet 👌
I chose death of a clown as one song for the funeral of my dad. Not only did he like the track very much but it fitted him well: he was cracking everybody up all the time yet he had a serious and melancholic side to him.
I know the song is technically not intended as a mourning track but I am really grateful for it. I love it myself very much. And since must people were not fluent in English which attended it was my personal goodbye. 😊
Thanks for doing this channel and for reminding me of this fabulous track.
I enjoyed this a lot, thanks. I grew up with the music of the late 70s so it was great to hear there was more going on in the 60s than the Beatles.
Those were great days indeed, fantastic music !
I saw Sharon Tandy perform Hold On at the Fleur De Lys reunion at the 100 club in 2009.
An absolutely brilliant year/month for music and another great presentation by Yesterday's Papers.
What an incredible era in which to be alive. London was the place to be then.
This channel just gets better and better.I have not heard of some of these so many thanks
I never understood why Tiny Goddess and Pentecost Hotel were not big hits.Nirvana made such beautiful music.
They weren't hit singles because we switched to buying albums.
Super deep-cuts selections. They all sound awesome. Really privileged to be on this journey of discovery with YP. Almost at 30k, baybee. Let's go!
Right on!
i love this channel and this is my favorite episode so far. i love that you made a playlist for the songs. i keep my ear to the ground for old psychedelic songs and this list of cool singles has stuff i haven't heard before.
Another cool episode. It emphasized the point that rock and roll is a very accepting genre. Psychedelia, but one sub category of rock, also demonstrates this "flexible" feature of the music. Psychedelia was able to adapt different instruments and other musical genres into it - think of Syd Barrett and his "fairy tale" rock. Great era for the arts in general!
While I love 'Baby You're a Rich Man,' the dismissal of 'All You Need is Love" is ludicrous. Between the universal appeal, quirky timing and lyrics, and incredible production and outro, 'All You Need is Love' is one of the great records of all time.
I think that reviewer had a good point. I like "All You Need is Love" but it's a bit contrived, in my opinion. And I inagine it sounded even more contrived back then.
@@YesterdaysPapers No it didn't. It sounded just right then.
@@YesterdaysPapers If "you imagine it sounded even more contrived", you need to recalibrate your imagination. It was a mantra, an anthem for the summer of love, but instantly accessible to all, from hippy to bus conductor. I was usually in charge of the music at the parties I went to, and I knew that if I put it on everybody would stop dancing (bad) and starting singing along (good). It reminds me of the communal zeitgeist of football fans singing "You'll Never Walk Alone".
This is my favorite UA-cam channel. The Francoise Hardy cover of "Tiny Goddess" is excellent. Hadn't heard it before today.
I’m a 60’s music nut from Western Canada. I really love discovering “diamonds in the rough” tracks that are either forgotten or not as well known especially on this side of the Atlantic. I have subscribed and am definitely looking forward to more segments.
The Davies Brothers were at their peak in 1967 with songs like Death Of A Clown Waterloo Sunset and Mr Pleasant and those songs are about the best one could get in pop music. Time Seller is a underrated song and anytime the Beatles are releasing a record that is a good month. 1967 was no bed of roses with Pound Devaluation in the UK and Vietnam and Race Riots in the U.S but one thing for sure unlike today's troubled time one could cut on their radio and record player and get some great newly released music.
Hehe before I even watch it. What a month... what a year 😁
Wow - that Sharon Tandy song!
It's going in my car!
Fleur de Lys (under the name Rupert's People) recorded another impressive version in 1968. Look for it!
Many thanks for this wonderful video. I associate this music (especially "Paper Sun" by Traffic) with some great memories. The Kinks -- yeah. Jet Harris was a rough cut, but he, his sound and his exploits paved the way for the hippie's revenge -- Punks. Best Wishes on Your Birthday, Ringo!
Death of a Clown by Dave Davies - one of my favourite all-time pop songs. There are some other tremendous songs in this video that I never got to hear before, and they just reinforce my opinion that 1967 was the best year ever for Pop and Rock.
Completely agree!
Rasa Davies also collaborates on Lazy Old Sun and it's a great song, rarer than Death Of The Clown. I love The Kinks 60's and 70's.
Ray used to introduce Dave acerbically as Dave "Death of a Clown Davies" much to Dave's disgust.. There was a time when it wasn't uncommon for either Ray or Dave to sport a black eye or fat lip from their constant fighting..
@@S2Sturges Yes, I saw a concert (on telly) when Ray made exactly that introduction to his brother! And their fighting apparently was sometimes on stage...
@@Syd4510 In one of the books I read, Ray used to say things on stage like "let's hear the little twerp express himself as best as he can".... .. But I do recall ready about the time that Mick and Dave got into a barney about the guitar volume, which ended up as a punch up and destroyed drum kit, with only Ray left on stage by himself... Ray managed a smile and quipped "I'm getting tired of those boys" and played several solo numbers before calm was restored...
Fantastic…..very enjoyable….some I knew of where are other I knew not…..thank you for this…👍
This is outstanding. Thanks so much for providing so many new insights into the era.
So many I was unaware of. What fantastic time in music. Great research, keep them coming!
Ah, Time Seller, one of my favourites
Thanks for turning us on to the Francoise Hardy version of Tiny Goddess. Wow. Never heard that in me life.
I love how brutal the contemporaneous Beatles reviews were, and love that Sharon Tandy tune - really cool with the low-key chorus..
"Baby Your a Rich Man" is one of my favorites from that mid-period era between Sgt. Pepper and the White Album, second only to "I am the Walrus".
"I Am the Walrus" is also my favourite from that Beatles period.
"Everybody smokes pot, everybody smokes pot, everybody smokes pot...."
Hear hear, such an underrated Beatles' song. Lennon's vocals on that track are superb.
McCartney's bass in Baby You're a Rich Man is incredibly innovative and powerful!
Love "Baby..." great song.....
Best month and year ever
Great!! Love your videos..& your sound snippets!! Nice flirt with Strawberry Fields in the intro!! Top shelf productions always!! Thanks!!
My favorite channel right now
Entertaining, educational, revelatory - as always! Lowkey one of the very best music channels on UA-cam.
Thanks!
Great video as usual. I may be wrong, but I think that Jimmy Winston was released from Small Faces after their second single, the haunting I've Got Mine/It's Too Late completely missed the charts (even movie appearance did not help). The more I see these videos, the more I think that there was unique time to be a 45s collector in UK (at least). Not before and not after the pop music was so fresh, diverse, daring and energetic.
Loving this channel 👍
Incredible times----I was quite young at the time, but knew it! This is an excellent compilation, quite well-researched.
Another AMAZING Yesterday's Papers. Merci!!!
Thanks, Nathalie! Glad you enjoyed it.
great video, at the time i was eight...thanks for the memories...
Excellent narration, excellent video with some excellent songs. Loved it!
Great songs…I’ll be adding many of these to my “Yesterday’s Papers” playlist
Amazing that someone mentioned Winston's Fumbs and their killer 45 of Snow White b/w Real Crazy Apartment! I've loved that record for decades. Hope you do more of these videos showing obscure but still excellent 45s. Cheers!
It was a great single. and I think the only reason Jimmy got the chop from The Small Faces was that he was well over six feet tall.
I have said it before and I will say it again, your research along with the original footage and the narration makes it a sublime channel, just love the physcedilia era, you really came up with some gems here, thanks.
Thanks!
@@YesterdaysPapers Africa pronouncation a bit odd though!
Incredible channel, man.
Love it!
Thanks!
Man, 1967 was a great year for Rock.
Great stuff! I'm hooked on this now!
Sir,Congratulations on a very interesting format. Well done!
I did indeed enjoy that trip. Thanks
Blaze is actually a pretty great record. Thanks for the enjoyable presentation.
It's 1967 and someone has already done Jimmy Page's violin bow-on-guitar gimmick.
Jimmy Page stealing ideas?!
Preposterous!
Yeah.... him. Dazed and confused came out in '66, I believe
I've always hated that. Sounds like shit.
Yes, Jimmy "the tea leaf" Page strikes again 🎻🎸😉
@@angiejilani Yes, Jake Holmes author of " I'm Confused " finally legally pursued Notorious Tightwad Pagey many years later and I believe a confidential legal/financial agreement was reached and moths flew out of Pagey's wallet 😀 and Jake Holmes now gets a songwriting credit of sorts for Dazed and Confused as he always should have
- A FanTasTic and Prodigious Times...~🤔🌉🧚🏻♀️🎶🎸
Enjoyed it, YP? I loved it, thank you! Not a bad song in the bunch and several I've never heard of before this. I'll be making sure to look further into these bands and singles.
great episode with a class selection of tunes
so glad i found this channel. Awesome work my friend Cheers
Great as always, thanks!
Worth noting that the ripping solo on Sharon Tandy's 'Hold On' is by Bryn Haworth, who took over from Phil Sawyer, who is credited with the great guitar playing on the band's cover of the Who's 'Circles' but then went on to the 'new' Spencer Davis Group minus the Winwoods, which debuted in late May '67. That's him holding the lyric sheet in the 'Time Seller'/'Don't Want You No More' clip, which I am thankful was including in this video as it is a killer tune with a great performance by Sawyer on vocal and guitar.
I have always thought that solo was by Jimmy Page, on reflection he was well entrenched in the yardbirds then Spot on about Sharon Tandy
I kinda doubt that Phil Sawyer played that solo. I saw the Spencer Davis Group in July '67 at a car show (?!) at an armory (!?!) in Pittsburgh, PA. I was disappointed to miss the Winwoods, but I really liked Eddie Hardin. And Phil Sawyer was superb. At least I thought so.
@@wyliesmith4244 Your doubt prompted me to investigate as best I could given what little info is available. And I have adjusted myi comment accordingly.
The Winwoods quit the SDG in April '67 (I remember exactly where I was standing when I read that In the NME). Sawyer and Hardin debuted with the band in late May at the Marquee. As indicated in the video, 'Time Seller'/'Don't Want You No More' and 'Hold On' were both released in July.
The Wiki on Bryn Haworth says he is on 'Hold On', though one can never be sure with such things. Still, while the solo sounds similar to that attributed Sawyer on the Fleurs de Lys take of the Who's 'Circles', evidence including YT comments point to Haworth.
I purchased 'Stay With Me Baby'/'Hold On' after seeing Ms Tandy on Beat Club (i.e., the clip in the video) and once learning about the Fleurs de Lys, which also included Gordon Haskill on bass (later w/King Crimson), Pete Sears on keys (later w/Rod Stewart and Jefferson Starship) with the band's mainstay, drummer Keith Guster, assumed it was Sawyer on guitar.
It is great to read that you enjoyed Hardin and Sawyer with the SDG. I thought they were great additions, though by November Sawyer had quit, apparently having been unhappy about the tour you saw him on in the USA. Ray Fenwick (later w/Ian Gillan) took his place. And when Hardin and drummer Pete York quit to form Hardin-York (keys/drums duo), bassist Dee Murray and drummer Nigel Olsen were enlisted. Their next move was to Elton John's band. Hardin, Fenwick and York along with bassist Charlie McCracken of Rory Gallagher's early trio Taste were enlisted by Spencer for a reunited version of the band in the early 70s.
Whew!
@@MrCherryJuice Great research! Now you prompted me to look at the booklet that came with "Taking Out Time," a three CD compilation on RPM (ahem - Cherry Red) of the post-Winwood recordings. Both Hardin and Sawyer remember things a little differently than Spencer, but in the notes itis stated that Sawyer was in Shotgun Express just before joining Spencer. A guilty pleasure of mine is the soundtrack of "Here Go Round the Mulberry Bush," and the tracks are included, but Sawyer had left despite co-writing some of the songs. Or so I gather.
And as for the show, there were two sets. Spencer would claim that one number was a request (by Spencer?) which was a number by Hardin and York (the beginnings of their own duo I'd guess) while Davis and Sawyer exited the stage.
@@wyliesmith4244 Good! I'm aware of 'Taking Out Time' but that incarnation of the band didn't interest me so much. I had the original three British albums w/Winwood and 'With Their New Face On'. The latter was fine though not what I wanted to hear from that band - it was quite different. And Sawyer's vocals being replaced on 'Time Seller' and 'Don't Want You No More' by Eddie Hardin and Ray Fenwick respectively rankled me. Thankfully I still have the original vinyl 45 as well as a budget CD comp that has that original Sawyer version, which is killer.
The instrumental you saw Hardin and York do was possibly 'Alec In Transit Land'. It definitely signalled the direction the duo were headed.
Living in Germany in the 60s, the SDG was massively popular. It seemed that every German band played 'Keep On Running', 'When I Come Home' and 'Somebody Help Me'. And I was hearing the hits including 'Gimme Some Lovin'' (the stripped down original version) and 'I'm A Man' on pirate radio stations London, Luxembourg and Caroline. It was an exciting time. Thankfully all that music still sounds great. I mean, just listen to the playing by Hardin & York here - ua-cam.com/video/r-qzWqe5DLw/v-deo.html
Sharon Tandy and her band Fleur De Lys were way ahead of their time in ‘67. Listen to their single ‘Our day will come’. So heavy in style for this time. l am 73 of age.
Fantastic! There is stuff here that I’ve not heard about before.
Thank you for this.
Thanks, glad you liked it.

I discovered Hold On by Sharon Tandy a few years ago. Love it!!! Great video YP!
Thanks, Kimba!
Yet another great video. Well constructed informitive and engaging
God that Sharon Tandy song was heavy! Totally sick and forward thinking rock for 1967
Is that actually Penny Valentine reading her reviews? And as far as others? It's amazing one can tell so much in a short time. Lol- I know this is a lifetime project putting these together. Let's all drink to the record producers and guest musicians who were on the Records!!!
Fuzz guitar and Hammond organ envelop you in a cozy embrace helped by some of the famous substances of the era.
great video, keep 'em coming, luv it!
Love you channel, man! I am subscribed. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks!
Excellent, really interesting. Hold On is such a great record.
Fantastic collection - much of it living on in the compilation CDs that keep popping up on Amazon.
It makes my heart bleed listening to the great Sharon Tandy and the superb Fleur-de-Lys knowing that second rate promotion denied them the fame they should have had.
The music scene seemed to be getting better and better but little did we know that in some ways it had already peaked.
I hope you go through all the months of 1967, I have heard stuff I have never heard before!
Death Of A Clown 🤡 is a masterpiece 👌 by Ray & Dave & .. The Kinks.
That was ALL Dave.
@@davidrogers2085 Except that it was a Kinks song originally... and was co-written by Ray, which was mentioned in the video.
and Ray Davies simply the best!
Dave Crawford drummer with the thoughts song. All night stand. Hi
I love these...it reminds me of my Nuggets vol.2 box set "original arty-facts from the British empire and beyond",my favorite box set, all of these songs and more. It mainly focused on the U.K, bit it had some fun singles from other countries, I think someone ripped it off from me😠
That boxset is excellent. Some of the songs featured on this video are on the boxset.
Splendid, once again !
Excellent run down on lesser known classic tracks. Winstons Fumbs that's new to me!
This was great. Baby, You're a Rich Man is my all-time favorite Beatles song. Penny Valentine and the other critics do a good job with the analysis of music. Herman's Hermits should have been bigger and they should have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame years ago. Peter Noone lives down the highway from me in Santa Barbara, California.
Peter Noone has always been one of those “nicest guys in show biz”.
@@richsackett3423 Yes he is
HHermits were gigantic , are you kidding me ?
@@glennhfriedman4571 In the States for a while they were big. In their native UK not so much.
I've always loved "Baby, You're a Rich Man" and Herman's Hermits, "Museum", I like "Hold On", "Snow White", and "Shades of Grey".
your channel is the best.
Today would have been Jet Harris’s birthday….7/6/39
I saw him several times in a small music bar in Jersey CI ( that's the original Jersey BTW ) called the Side Door. He played solo guitar mix of instrumental and vocal pieces. I think it was a low time for him, i spoke to him a few times and he seemed to feel he'd been let down by more than one of his " famous " friends
Another great episode Yesterday!!!
I absolutely love the Creation - If I Stay Too Long. Maybe it wasn’t a great choice for an A-side, but it’s such a beautiful song. The Jet Harris track sounds great! Never heard that before!! Totally hear the Troggs in it!! So much good music in such a short time!! Have a good one!! Jon
Hey Jon! Thanks, glad you enjoyed this episode. I love "My Lady" by Jet Harris. I agree, you can totally hear the Troggs in it.
Muff Winwood produced Dire Straits' first album--when they were still a 'beat group'! :^D
Awesome as always
Never heard of Sharon Tandy, the Creation, Winston's Fumbs or Edwick Rumbold, .....and I was a teenager in 1967.
Great video. Would love playlists of the songs in some of your videos on UA-cam or Spotify.
Excellent, as usual
Beautiful. My birth month, though here in the states it was all Groovin' by the Rascals and the Association's Windy. Light My Fire would break by the end of the month.
Those are great songs as well!
Great episode
Another brilliant video. Thanks a lot.
If anyone wants an alternative and hilarious take on late 60’s London, try watching the film ‘Smashing Time’.
Well said, its a lot of fun. May I also suggest 'Bedazzled' with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
Some great stuff here. I came across Sharon Tandy on a few compilations some years back which included the two songs featured here. Both are classics. There are the usual arguments that Sharon should have been a big star, she had the talent but hers was the same story as many others. No hits and the record buying public were concentrating on Cilla, Lulu and Sandie as they had more media exposure.
Great vid again! ✌🏻
God I love this channel
This is my favorite place to hear new music 🐱
Este resumen me encanto' !!! Contiene unas canciones fantásticas, y muy bien explicadas!! Las imágenes son lo más 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I'd prayed See Emily Play might be a profiled single given it was released at the tail end of June that year. Having been a massive fan of Allman Bros I was always intrigued to know they chose a cover of a SDG tune on their debut. Another exceptional episode.
Thanks! "See Emily Play" is on the "Coolest British Singles from June 1967" that I uploaded a month ago: ua-cam.com/video/OHyGLidsMpg/v-deo.html
I too have always wondered about the Allman's choice of 'Don't Want You No More', which was the B-side of the SDG's 'Time Seller' as well as a track on their 'With Their New Face On' album (though Phil Sawyer did vocal on the single, Eddie Hardin did it on the album, as Sawyer had left at that point). When I met Warren Haynes at a Gov't Mule gig, I gave him a cassette copy of the single version as in, 'You might want to hear the original,' though didn't discuss the Allmans as he'd come into that band so many years after the fact. I also wondered why the Allmans even used that riff when they were very capable of coming up with cool ones of their own. I mean, aside from the opening bars the rest of the tune is nothing at all like the original.
