January 1967, the beginning of one of the best years in music history. I first heard Baby Come Closer by the Loot around 30 years ago on the English Freakbeat Vol 1 compilation cd. Wish i still had it.
Yep, many of these songs from early 67 are very much in that freakbeat vein. I love that period when bands were transitioning from beat, R&B, mod sounds to more way-out, psychedelic stuff.
London' s music scene in the 60's was the most influencing, interesting era in pop history. What a lot of great songs were produced by so many bands who became legends.
Hallo again, could not wait for your next video, always a great time travel, unbelievable what the record companies and radio stations controlled what could be played ! thank you so much, all the best for 2023😊
I remember hearing the beautiful song, “Ruby Tuesday” quite a lot as it reached Number One in the States. It brings back the sixties era anytime I hear it. And I covered it as a sing along at a performance salon.
I’m a bit surprised by the tepid response to the Spencer Davis Group’s I’m A Man. All praise for their previous single. I’m assuming it was Gimmie Some Lovin.’ Steve Winwood, composer/vocalist, for such a tender age of 18/19 singing with such maturity and bravado was a marvel! And that Hammond organ was everything! Fast forward to 1969, Chicago Transit Authority took such perfection, and raised it to the stratosphere! Winwood’s version was organ driven, where CTA’s was more percussion laden. Loved on CTA’s version you had the three lead vocalists of Kath, Cetera and Lamm. Great song!
Yep, "Gimme Some Lovin" was their previous single. I love Chicago's version of "I'm a Man". Great cover and that first album by Chicago is a truly excellent record.
Ho hum. Just another fabulous episode that has me running around to see if I have any of this stuff. I loved all the percussion that Jimmy Miller piled on I'm a Man ( and Gimme Some Some Lovin' for that matter - that was the version we got in the States). The Remo Four was a huge and pleasant surprise, especially for a Liverpool band. I've never heard that Nashville Teens single, but I liked what I could find in the US - especially Find My Way Back Home. But I was wondering if I'd ever hear any Wimple Winch on YP. Back in '84, a Brit customer at my store made a compilation of 60's British singles which was highlighted by the Wimple Winch singles. I guess that I must get cassette player up and running as the Fingers tune is on there as well as other obscure stuff, some of which, like the Accent and Attack, I've heard on YP. And some like the Eyes and Mickey Finn can be found in several places. I can't tell if you are behind the times or ahead of them, but these monthly episodes leave me wanting more. Uh, that is a big thank you.
Just a glimpse of 60 s music that has so many hidden gems ,,, so glad I was a teenager then ,,, explosion of sounds and vision ,,, and live music venues everywhere,,,, as Humble Pie say ,,, TAKE ME BACK WHERE I COME FROM ,,, Gx
Amazed at how many fine bands throughout 60s never made it. Pre-mod & pysychedlelia too; between here in U.S & Europe, surf-rock days, the Shadows & Ventures, Tornadoes and few others were notorious; but there lot more that faded to obscurity with little to no commercial success. Some of these were just killer too! Thank YT for exposing lot of em', it's good for that, anyhow. Tough business.
@@Krzyszczynski I'm long retired, on permanent waking hrs. regimen of YT music docs and old concert vids, anyhow. So when 1 of these pops up, I'll pause that other obsession long enough to see it, because they're excellent. If I were young, and say, my wife was delivering our 1st child, or were I on the job, doing critical work, I'd probably wait till I got home. Hope you can retire soon, it's the bomb, never gets old here.
Great episode as usual.. But I would be remissed if I didn't mention that having Simon Dee, Peter Murray and Jimmy Saville on any kind of board together is a bad idea!
The Stones aren't sounding very psychedelic here, but I sure wish I had that 45 -- damn, it's good. Spencer Davis isn't psychedelic at all; Steve sure got that way in Traffic. A golden age in music, to be sure.
You're right but even though I used the title "Psychedelic Times" for these series of videos, my intention is not to include just psychedelic singles. My aim is just to highlight great singles released in 1967.
I was born on 3 January 1967 so this video has an extra-special meaning for me..Makes me wish I could take a Time Machine back to that time to experience that era 👍
Look at that chart at 7:49!!! The top ten is ALL CLASSICS! Not one bad song in the lot!!! 🤯 Excellent as always, Monsieur Yesterday's Papers. Have a great new year, we'll be here waiting for your fantastic videos. 🥳
Fabulous stuff - brilliantly assembled! In particular, the matter-of-fact narration contrasts in a wonderfully engaging way with the mind boggling creativity that's being show-cased! Alas, today's music (it certainly isn't a music scene) is completely charmless by comparison.
Thanks to your videos YP, I’m constantly learning of music from this time that I’ve never heard before. While banning or not giving airplay to certain songs only served to increase appeal for some bands, evidently it ruined others. I find the amount of quality bands that didn’t quite make it and were quickly forgotten, truly astonishing. Steve Winwood has had a monumental career and still sounds fabulous. Thanks again YP, fascinating as always. So sad to hear of Jeff Beck’s passing, all our heroes are leaving the stage.
I never liked ''Let's Spend the Night Together'', sorry. Instead, ''Ruby Tuesday'' is one of my favourite songs of all time. Thank you, Yesterday's Papers. Good video, as always.😀🤗💯
Your research & detail is excellent. And I love the way the audio is backed up with obscure video footage. Looking forward to February. (Small gripe: it's "trifle," not "triffle!")
Thank you for doing this! Is 1967 the greatest year for music ? On the subject of The Remo Four- George Harrison produced an excellent track ' In the first place' for them around the time of the Wonderwall sessions which would eventually get issued in 1999
That stupid censorship! It's really a pity that a band like the The Game had to be banned, their single sounded so good. Actually, all the songs featured in this video are smashing. What a great year for pop music. As a side note, the proto-punk stuff of the late 60s sounded so much better than the late 70s punk.
It reminds me of BBC's ban of John Lennon's "Cold Turkey"; one of the most stunning anti-drug songs I've ever heard. I think they were more inclined to ban anti-drug songs than pro-drug songs because they were more explicit and disturbing. I don't remember any attempts to ban "Cold Turkey", Paul Revere & The Raiders' "Kicks" or Leonard Skinner's "That Smell" over here, but I'm sure there were stations that wouldn't play them for fear of upsetting their listeners.
This was a time when band were not afraid to push social norms. Now days artists and there record companies are too lazy and just want to make money as quick as they can
Some really really great tunes here. Especially I'm a Man, The Loot who I've never heard of before. Outstanding. The Game were a very interesting group. My fav of theirs is Gonna get me Someone. Of course, goes without saying, the Stones double A is tremendous.
The Loot are well worth checking out, Maurice. "Baby Come Closer" was probably their best single but they did record some cool songs. A lot of their material is very remniscent of the Troggs.
When the Remo Four ceased to be, keys/vocalist Tony Ashton and drummer Roy Dyke teamed up with the Creation's Kim Gardner as Ashton, Gardner & Dyke and had a hit with the rollicking 'Resurrection Shuffle'. The short life of that band saw Ashton move on to Paice, Ashton & Lord with his Deep Purple buddies, while Roy Dyke went on to Badger, the band formed by keyboardist Tony Kaye after he left Yes (Rick Wakeman was his replacement) and the the early Pat Travers band.
I may get some flack for this but the banned songs in this video just goes to show that ''cancel culture'' has always been a thing, and it was so much worse in the past because it came from people in positions of power, not random people in the internet. It basically ruined The Game's momentum and that song is now hard to find at least in physical format. Nowadays people cry about ''being'' cancelled but they can't get banned off the air on a whim, and today you simply would not be able to ban a song like in the 60s simply because the record labels and other higher ups don't have the final say on what gets released to the public anymore.
Some of the reasons for banning were so spurious as well. David McWilliams' "Pearly Spencer" got hardly any BBC airplay on first release in '68, because his manager had some tenuous connection with Radio Caroline's boss. Couldn't go encouragin' those pirate johnnies, eh what?
Yes, I just had to Google all the Beatle's songs that were banned by the BBC JUST in 1967. Here goes: "I Am The Walrus", "A Day In The Life", "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", "Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite". Can't have the great British public being subjected to that rubbish.
Not quite the same thing. You could get the Stones' album everywhere. And there weren't any consequences for the Stones. Today cancel culture calls for your losing your job, livelihood, you're doxxed and destroyed.
When you have a two-sided single, I have no idea how the sales are allocated between the two songs. I understand radio play being tracked. But record sales?
No idea but I read that was the reason why "Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane" didn't get to number 1. Sales were counted differently if it was a double A-side. So even though it sold more than "Release Me" by Humperdinck, it wasn't enough to reach number 1.
Good to see WImple Winch gettin' some love. Also, that movie "Privelege" looks like trash. A trashy good time like "Wild in the Streets." I love me some Freaksploitation films. RIP Jeff Beck...I'll never get tired of Happenings Ten Years Time Ago.
I love "Wild in the Streets", great exploitarion flick. "Privilege" is a bit more artsy. It's actually a great film. I watched it about 3 or 4 years ago and loved it. Very unusual and original, defintely worth checking out.
In 1974 Australian glam rockers Skyhooks released their classic LP Living in the '70's. Almost all of the songs were banned from radio. Titles like You Just Like Me Cause I'm Good in Bed. Early 70's Australian rock bands could be very subversive.
Australian radio could be incredibly prissy at times back then. They even bleeped out the word "bloody" when playing the Royal Guardsmen's Snoopy vs The Red Baron!!
Another great episode, Y.T. But I must say... Finding out that the excellent single "The Addicted Man" and the band, "The Game" was banned and destroyed with help of a committee of conservative wankers that included that bastion of morality, Sir Jimmy Saville, makes me puke out both ends.
Idk where Mersey square south is but it's not in Liverpool lol there's a Mersey Square in Stockport though. Also, we don't sing and dance when we fight here lmao so that West Side Story shit is hilarious.
The Surf Fairies??? Now THERE'S a British band name! It doesn't even conflict with The Surfaris' trademark! And a "triffle" dated? Not "trifle"? I know it was spelled that way. No need to correct the typesetter 55 years later.
"British R. & B."? It does *NOT* exist! British solists and groups are straight-out Rock & Roll. R. & B. is almost *EXCLUSIVELY* American. There have been only *TWO* performers *IN THE WORLD* who could successfully perform in the R. & B. genre, *AND THEY ARE BOTH AUSTRALIAN!* The first, now sadly deceased, is *Doug Parkinson* and the second, now in retirement, is *Renee Geyer.* (14:53)
Yes, I just tried keying in "The Game" on YT, and got a whole slew of clips by a latter-day outfit of that name which look like outtakes from some dark and brooding drug-culture flick. BUT: if you add "gonna get me someone" to your key-words, you'll get to their late-1966 single, and - about 10th on the list - The Addicted Man!
The bbc started banning things, and today the truth is banned from all bbc programs. I'm in shock, my guitar hero since 1966, Jeff Beck has died. What a loss😭
This was a very British episode. Aside from the Stones, virtually none of this music was known in the States. Quite a number of them didn't chart in the U.K. I'm glad you fill us in on these lesser known songs and groups who were all part of the incredible early 1967 scene.
This is what this channel does best, featuring songs from the U.K. that never made it over on this side of the Pond. So many songs and artists I've never heard of. So glad this channel exists.
Um, I'm A Man was a hit, and was required to know by every dance/frat rock band. Along with Mustang Sally, of course. The Rascals were copied by all the 'bands' as well.
Lets be honest Pete Murray was about as rock n roll as Malcolm Muggeridge Thank you for these videos, they often turn me on to bands i have not come across.
That whole JBJ scene was totally dated by '67. The BBC should have canned it after the Stones took over the panel and plainly showed their utter contempt for it all.
"Lets Spend the Night Together" caused some controversy in the national newspapers due to it's supposedly suggestive lyrics" I'm glad. Brilliant song 😂 "Ruby Tuesday" is my favorite song of all-time. Brian's recorder on that song is hauntingly beautiful and so is the organ on "Lets spend the Night Together" Magical time in music. I always look forward to your videos, YP. I love your version of "Ruby Tuesday" 💖
Thank you for another YP so that I can take a break from today's news!! (Actually melodywise Ruby Tuesday should've been side A. LSTNT was great, but RT is fab! (Jules does a great version!)
I remember the fuss over the “suggestive lyrics” to LSTNT and Mick having to sing the alternate line on the Ed Sullivan show, but I always thought Ruby Tuesday was the better song anyway. The early Stones with Brian Jones had a unique sound that the band never quite captured again. Mick Taylor was a superb guitarist but Brian’s musical flourishes made the early Stones songs really interesting because depending on the instrument used, the outcome varied greatly. From the Recorder in Ruby Tuesday to the Mellotron in 2,000 Light Years From Home, we’d eagerly await the next Stones song (or album) because you never knew what to expect. Thanks YP.
Might be worth charting the life and career of Penny Valentine at some point - seems to have been a major voice in the pop press in the late 60s yet not a name I recall from the mid 70s onwards when I might actually have noticed. Ever do any beeb work?
Todas las canciones de este episodio son geniales!!!! No entiendo porque la mayoria de estos grupos no triunfó, a excepcion de los Stones y Spencer Davis Group. Saludos desde Argentina y gracias por compartirlo. 🇦🇷❤💥👌

Not only is this a great channel... It's rather important! Preserving and compiling these great moments is pure class!
Thanks!
True. Highly educational for those who are interested. People like you and me.
Its all talk and they play very little of any song. Its about the music not the talk talk talk.
Great show YP ! IM SO SAD AT THE LOSS OF JEFF BECK ! He was such a huge influence on me as a guitarist ! Perhaps you could a tribute !cheers !
Yes. Yardbirds 4ever!
Yes, very sad news. Definitely an amazing guitar player. Love his work with the Yardbirds and those two Jeff Beck Group albums.
@@YesterdaysPapers Did Jeff ever do a Blind Date?
No prude here or in '67, but I do think that "Ruby Tuesday" is the superior song. Another hit YP--your work is inspired!
Thanks, Michael. I agree with you. I've always loved "Let's Spend..." but I too think "Ruby Tuesday" is a superior song. That song is a masterpiece.
Great minds think alike..and ours too! Lol.
I love Ruby also, it showed that they were prolific
@@IMeMineWho Ruby Tuesday seems to have aged quite well too.

Super cool for me, as a Swede, to be able to ger a glimpse of what we missed. Thanks for your great work 🙏🏻😊
Made my day ! Thanks! ...now I'm off to shop for singles.
Amazed at how many fine bands throughout 60s never made it.

Another great vid, cheers!Loved the groove on The Loot track,It unintentionally sounds like something off “ Safe As Milk” but without the Captain.
I never thought about it but you're right. It does have a similar feel to some of the bluesy tracks on "Safe as Milk". Love that record.
Great episode as usual..
But I would be remissed if I didn't mention that having Simon Dee, Peter Murray and Jimmy Saville on any kind of board together is a bad idea!

Hello again, thank you for posting them. Good time for you
The thumbnail. The theme tune.
I start salivating like Pavlov's dog.
Was there a band called Pavlov's Dog? If feels like there should have been.
Yes there was.
There certainly was, Pavlov’s Dog released their debut album “Pampered Menial” in 1975.
Pavlov’s Dog was a progressive rock group from St Louis MO.
Fabulous stuff - brilliantly assembled! In particular, the matter-of-fact narration contrasts in a wonderfully engaging way with the mind boggling creativity that's being show-cased! Alas, today's music (it certainly isn't a music scene) is completely charmless by comparison.

Great channel, thanks! @3:20, if RuPaul did a cover of I'm a Man that could be a huge hit in 2023!

I was released in January '67!
It's still crazy to me that all these songs are only 4 track lol
And that's why Derek Taylor was The Beatles publicist. So erudite.
My brain must be going. I don't remember most of these. I was selling carbon paper in Carnaby Street.Groovy.

Amazing how Manfred Mann went on to remain a chart act after losing Paul Jones.
Love the video !
It would be nice to have all the songs in the description, because I didn’t catch all of the songs names. 13:18
I'll post a playlist featuring all the songs later.
TRES Cool
Always liked the Paul Jones song which doesn't tend to get much radioplay nowadays, like some of the other big 60s hits.
Love that song, too. It was a pretty big hit so I find it weird that the song is so forgotten these days.
Love the sleazy psyche sound of the Loots single♥️🌈
When you have a two-sided single, I have no idea how the sales are allocated between the two songs. I understand radio play being tracked. But record sales?

Before Brian was in a bad place, he sure was the coolest guy in the world until his own bandmate stole that title.
My era, glad l experienced it all. Killing songs ok, loving songs a no no.
name of song at 00:08??
Yeah, 60s on it's way to the top. 67' was best shaped.
Who wants yesterday's papers
5:40 🤣
Idk where Mersey square south is but it's not in Liverpool lol there's a Mersey Square in Stockport though. Also, we don't sing and dance when we fight here lmao so that West Side Story shit is hilarious.
lol yeah Stockport
Let's spend some time together was demanded by Ed Sullivans Censors instead of the real lyrics.
An odd definition of Psychedelic.
The Surf Fairies??? Now THERE'S a British band name! It doesn't even conflict with The Surfaris' trademark! And a "triffle" dated? Not "trifle"? I know it was spelled that way. No need to correct the typesetter 55 years later.
more usa than brit stuff
….and Jimmy Saville…..🤦♀️. 😂
At that time Beatles are at the highest level meanwhile mick jagger band are constantly boring. I'm not sorry to told my truth opinion
"British R. & B."? It does *NOT* exist! British solists and groups are straight-out Rock & Roll. R. & B. is almost *EXCLUSIVELY* American. There have been only *TWO* performers *IN THE WORLD* who could successfully perform in the R. & B. genre, *AND THEY ARE BOTH AUSTRALIAN!* The first, now sadly deceased, is *Doug Parkinson* and the second, now in retirement, is *Renee Geyer.* (14:53)
You're right. And listen closely and all of these records are ripoffs of US blues and soul.
see nothing online for the game british band. zero.
Yes, I just tried keying in "The Game" on YT, and got a whole slew of clips by a latter-day outfit of that name which look like outtakes from some dark and brooding drug-culture flick. BUT: if you add "gonna get me someone" to your key-words, you'll get to their late-1966 single, and - about 10th on the list - The Addicted Man!
This is kinda pish. Most of these failed. What's the point???
The bbc started banning things, and today the truth is banned from all bbc programs. I'm in shock, my guitar hero since 1966, Jeff Beck has died. What a loss😭
Yes, very sad news about Jeff Beck. Definitely one of the greats.
I love this channel!!
Only killers,no fillers!!!
This was a very British episode. Aside from the Stones, virtually none of this music was known in the States. Quite a number of them didn't chart in the U.K. I'm glad you fill us in on these lesser known songs and groups who were all part of the incredible early 1967 scene.
This is what this channel does best, featuring songs from the U.K. that never made it over on this side of the Pond. So many songs and artists I've never heard of. So glad this channel exists.
Um, I'm A Man was a hit, and was required to know by every dance/frat rock band. Along with Mustang Sally, of course. The Rascals were copied by all the 'bands' as well.
Lets be honest Pete Murray was about as rock n roll as Malcolm Muggeridge
Thank you for these videos, they often turn me on to bands i have not come across.
That whole JBJ scene was totally dated by '67. The BBC should have canned it after the Stones took over the panel and plainly showed their utter contempt for it all.
Love what you did when Jimmy So Vile 's name was mentioned.
"Lets Spend the Night Together" caused some controversy in the national newspapers due to it's supposedly suggestive lyrics" I'm glad. Brilliant song 😂 "Ruby Tuesday" is my favorite song of all-time. Brian's recorder on that song is hauntingly beautiful and so is the organ on "Lets spend the Night Together" Magical time in music.
I always look forward to your videos, YP. I love your version of "Ruby Tuesday" 💖
Thanks, Sophie! "Ruby Tuesday" is a masterpiece. Amazing song.
@@YesterdaysPapers 😘💖
I love Ruby Tuesday too...Julian Lennon's cover version is as good as the original. Do give a listen iffin' yer not familiar with it. Magical!
I concur - two utterly charming and perfect pop songs. You can't really get any better than that.
I always loved it. Melanie did a nice version on her LP, Candles In The Rain
The footage of the little girl covering her eyes when you say “jimmy savile”… morbid but funny!
And Jimmy Savile....
Nice touch on the accompanying video selection. Lol..
You get better all the time. Love this channel.
You beat me to it. 😂
Thank you for another YP so that I can take a break from today's news!! (Actually melodywise Ruby Tuesday should've been side A. LSTNT was great, but RT is fab! (Jules does a great version!)
Aaah the wonderful Wimple Winch. A whole albums worth of ideas on one side of a single
I would love to get my hands on that 7" by The Game. The B-Side is the real score.
I remember the fuss over the “suggestive lyrics” to LSTNT and Mick having to sing the alternate line on the Ed Sullivan show, but I always thought Ruby Tuesday was the better song anyway. The early Stones with Brian Jones had a unique sound that the band never quite captured again. Mick Taylor was a superb guitarist but Brian’s musical flourishes made the early Stones songs really interesting because depending on the instrument used, the outcome varied greatly. From the Recorder in Ruby Tuesday to the Mellotron in 2,000 Light Years From Home, we’d eagerly await the next Stones song (or album) because you never knew what to expect. Thanks YP.
I concur...
Might be worth charting the life and career of Penny Valentine at some point - seems to have been a major voice in the pop press in the late 60s yet not a name I recall from the mid 70s onwards when I might actually have noticed. Ever do any beeb work?
I think she started writing for Sounds magazine in the 70s.
@@YesterdaysPapers I remember it being big news when Peel moved to Sounds around then
Nice job to mention the Stones album "Between the Buttons". Notice the lead track on the UK version is... Yesterday's Papers. 😄
Thank you for your marvellous work. I'm discovering and digging groups I didn't know.
Once again, Yesterday's Papers...delivers. : )
Todas las canciones de este episodio son geniales!!!! No entiendo porque la mayoria de estos grupos no triunfó, a excepcion de los Stones y Spencer Davis Group. Saludos desde Argentina y gracias por compartirlo. 🇦🇷❤💥👌
