Certainly among the ten greatest LPs of the RnR era, and followed by one almost as good. l worshipped the Brothers Gibb. "The Singer Sang His Song" is still in my all time top 20.
Page using the bow in "Little Games" is haunting and exquisite. I used to sit in the dark and listen to Bee Gees "Mining Disaster". It just seemed the right thing to my 13 year old brain. Some great stuff here I've never heard before. Thanks!
These excursions into music history are always entertaining and educational. As bad as some things might have been back then, those really were the good old days. 🖖🌱
Pictures of Lilly is my favourite Who song. I have a vinyl lp called 'the Most Collection' wit songs produced by him, groups include the yardbirds, Jeff Beck, and a really great song by Terry Reid called 'Superlungs'. Never heard much from Terry again. Some promising songs in this april selection
Donovan wrote the song Superlungs, and originally released it with The Jeff Beck Group on his 1969 album, Barabajagal, one of a few albums he only released in the States. He recorded two previously unreleased earlier versions in 1966, one appearing among the bonus tracks on the double CD reissue of his original U.S. version of his Sunshine Superman album, and one appearing among the bonus tracks on the CD reissue of another of his U.S. only albums Mellow Yellow. But on the Terry Reid version, he changed the word CHICK into GIRL. I have posted a link of the first and third Donovan versions. I cannot find his second version on UA-cam. ua-cam.com/video/heTmWSI3vBY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/GkWzjLhH8kI/v-deo.html
Another great episode... I love the Bee Gees whenever they sway into Beatlesque territory. Pictures of Lily remains a standout in the Who's catalog. Well done YP (as always) 😎
Yet again, quite a few of these bands were either relatively obscure or completely new to me, which is why I think your excellent videos are so important to music-lovers everywhere YP. It’s interesting to see how often the B Side was either superior or the preferred track too. Many thanks Yesterday’s Papers for another fabulous blast from the past.
Another great video. Really like how you include the lesser-known groups, such as The Pandamonium and and The Quik here. Also, it continues to baffle me how did bands like The Artwoods, who had such a good following, just couldn’t get a hit, while there was so much crap (like Cilla Black and Engelbert Humperdinck for instance) flooding the charts and getting hit after hit. One has to question the record-buying public back then or the record companies for lack of promotion.
Well, the big take-aways for me are: I had no idea the Yardbirds included "Waiting for the Man" in their live set, wow! I've never gotten around to listening to Little Games, though I strongly doubt they cover that song on the album. From this post The Outer Limits strikes me as a band I need to investigate and maybe The Quik too. I want to hear that early Terry Reid single too. What a resource YP is! Well done.
Excellent eclectic compilation of interesting songs from mid-spring '67. Who would have ever thought that a song about masturbation (The Who) or a coal miner's anguished lament, issuing from the collapsed mine in which he is trapped (The Bee Gees) would hold anyone's interest? But they did, and do so to this day. Thank you again, PT/YP.
To the team at Yesterday's Papers - FANTASTIC! Absolutely love (and appreciate) the research and presentation of your videos, which also seem to go up a notch over time! Great work!
"Pictures of Lily" has been a favourite of mine since early 1967. The vocal harmonies are amazing -- what we came to expect from Roger and his mates. Of course, John's French horn (or "flugelhorn?") gave that tune something special. Once again, many thanks to Yesterday's Papers!
Some fine unsung songs on this doc,have come across Denny Laine,the Outer Limits and the Artwoods on 80s Edsel rec comps,their songs are excellent and have become favorites of mine, can't understand why they weren't successful thank you for the doc much appreciated Auckland New Zealand 2023
So many motorway accidents back then concerning bands travelling all over to play in hopes of "making it". Even took the drummer's life from Fairport Convention; Martin Lamble- on the M1 in Watford. Tony Kaye (Yes) has a cast on his foot, that was broken, as a result of one on the cover of The Yes Album.... One of the reasons that coke & speed became popular among some- in order to remain awake when driving long distances.... 🚬😎👍
That band fairport convention. Wtf? Those guys are still playing. That one chic died long ago. She had a problem besides drinking. The band had parties, She did this act on staircase fall down the stairs. Usually she no harmroll out of it unharmed. But she did this often. Friends said they knew it would happed. By mid seventies she drinking daily. She gave birth the father (one of full time members?) was father he loaded his shit up with the kid drove to airport and took kid wit Australia where he was raised. Espressially
Terry Reid was Jimmy Page's first choice as singer for Zeppelin, but he turned the offer down and told Page he should check out a young singer called Robert Plant from the midlands. The rest is history, as they say. Great video as usual.
Once again you've put the spotlight of some great forgotten gems amongst some more familiar classics. The Outer Limits (nice clips of them), Pandemonium and the Quik- great toons!
Lot's of variety this month. Never heard "Help Me Please" by the Outer Limits, sounds pretty groovy. The Jimmy Page era Yardbirds is endlessly fascinating, we were covering "THINK ABOUT IT" recently in my band POETS OF MYDNIGHT and "Puzzles" has that great frantic solo by Page. The Artwoods single sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out. The song by PANDEMONIUM is great and I first heard it on the CD comp ELECTRIC SUGARCUBE FLASHBACKS.
Such a great channel! April 1967 happens to be the month and year a certain record collecting yours truly was born, so you know there had to be some great gems and rarities for that amazing month. Didn't disappoint!😁
The little games album was actually a pretty cool album. And it had a few songs that Led Zeppelin later redid like white summer. Good night sweet Josephine was to me a highlight, with that flanging and Wawa guitar it is the most psychedelic thing they ever recorded!
Goodnight Sweet Josephine was not on their original album, which only got released in the States, despite being recorded in the UK. But it has appeared among the bonus tracks on CD reissues. Firstly, there was a now deleted double CD reissue in the States called Little Games Sessions, but it only had 32 tracks, 16 on each. There is now a single CD in this country called Little Games, containing 25 tracks. The First 16 tracks are side one of the U.S. double CD, although I noticed that the stereo separation between the channels is different on a few tracks. The first of the remaining nine tracks on this single CD starts with the second version of Goodnight Sweet Josephine, which was on CD2 of that double CD. The other 8 tracks are from their later Saturday Club live sessions 1967-68. But Disc 2 of the U.S. double CD had little extra of any value, a second take of Glimpses which has more guitar, but less sound effects on it, a Great Shakes commercial which has been reissued elsewhere, and a good instrumental version of a Graham Gouldman composition You Stole My Love, which he originally recorded as lead singer of his then-group The Mockingbirds. The rest of that disc 2 was made up of vocal tracks from disc 1, but reappearing in mono, a few worthless instrumentals, and lastly, tracks from a group called Together, containing ex-members of The Yardbirds.
I love that Denny Laine single. I’m happy the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, when inducting the Moody Blues, included Denny Laine. At first it was the classic lineup of Hayward, Lodge, Pinder, Thomas and Edge but how can you not include its founding member Denny Laine? At least they righted that wrong. (I’m still scratching my head as to why original bassist, Clint Warwick, wasn’t included?) I am digging that single by The Other Limits. I never heard of them. I am definitely familiar with the group Christie and their hit they had here in the states Yellow River. The things you learn.
What a superb month April was. Full of absolute gems. Pictures of Lily is my fav Who 45 but the Outer Limits, the Yardbirds and Bee Gees shine brightly.
Agreed, Maurice. Great month for singles. The Outer Limits' single is so underrated. I never get tired of listening to it, especially "Just One More Chance".
Continuing the golden age. I never heard any of this until my mum's boyfriend gave us the Bee Gees first album in 1970, and the Who released Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy in the US. Love the ads, "Are you a real man?"
Thanks again for all the work you put in to make these wonderful videos. Such a good education you're giving us! Most of these songs this Yank has never heard so thank you again! PS. Every time I heard Pictures Of Lily I realize how much I love that band. What a great, daring song!
The Mickey Most malaise days of the Yardbirds 🙁. Despite their dud singles, the Little Games LP has a handful of psychedelic gems. Whodathunk they covered the Velvets? You've done it again YP!
From August of 1966 (the release of Revolver) thru the end of 1969 (with the release of Chicago Transit Authority) is probably the best years for rock music in history.
Pictures of Lily is such a great Who song... It tends to be forgotten.....I am an Uber Who Fan and I forget about it..( also Keith Moon's Shirt is AMAZING)
Ron Mael of Sparks cited "Pictures of Lily" as influential to his songwriting, particularly lyrics/subject matter. You betcha. Also, the Beatles/BeeGees thing wasn't really a debate in the US that I recall. It never sounded imitative to me, anyway. Love the channel, btw❤
Another great presentation taking us back to wonderful1967! I hadn't ever heard Pandamonium before, really like 'em - they remind me a bit of The Creation.
best series on youtube ! honored to say that i’ve been with you since the near beginning and it’s great that you spreading info about the greatest time of music ❤️
The publicity photos for NYMD1941 show the Bee Gees as a quartet, but in fact Vince Melouney had joined them officially shortly before it was recorded.
Another superb dip into the whirlpool of British mod, freakbeat, psyche etc. 45s. And what a great selection this month. I look forward to each new episode (as well as the next Blind Date, of course.) May '67 will be especially great, as that will comlpete the whole of '67. Where are we going next? June '65, June '66 or 'June 68, perchance? There is a slight element of melancholy about how long ago it all happened and how all the musicians, producers and reviewers have aged or sadly died, On a more personal note I recall that I mised a lot of these records at the time as I wasn't in the UK at the time (as I left for Toronto on Wednesday 23/11/66.) Despite that, I really enjoy this series and your channel. Please keep up te gret work! 😀
Thank you very much, Graham. Glad you enjoy these videos. Next series of "cool british singles" will be either 1966 or 1968. I think I'll make a poll and let the viewers decide.
A mi humilde entender, la psicodelia solo la elevaron, Beatles, Stones y Who en 1967. Mas tarde Pretty Things en 1968 con SF SORROW. las demás bandas, bajaron su nivel, incluidos The Kinks y The Zombies. Saludos! 🇦🇷🎸🎼🎤🎸❤❤❤🇦🇷
German Polydor always had such cool picture sleeves ; they were often released in Holland , bought many of them from cut price bins. "Little Games" one of The Yardbirds' best was a must buy for me.
Excellent work as usual (The Outer Limits single was one I had never heard before!), but there are some omissions--The Pretty Things' "Children", Hat & Tie's "Finding It Rough", The Shotgun Express' "Indian Thing", The Purple Gang's "Granny Takes A Trip" and (my favorite) The Californians' "Golden Apples". The month wasn't quite as psychedelic overall as February and March had been, but the quality was still top-notch with "Pictures Of Lily", "Say You Don't Mind", "New York Mining Disaster", "No Presents For Me" and "In The Deep End". "I Can Fly" is actually one of the few songs by The Herd that I like! I disagree with the reviewer who said it wasn't good psychedelia. Looking forward now to May and utterly *stellar* singles by Procol Harum, Jimi Hendrix, The Hollies, Tomorrow, The Troggs, John's Children, The Hi-Fis, Traffic, The Brain ("Nightmares In Red") and The Koobas! It may be the best month yet!
What do you mean "again"? The "Defecting Grey" single was included in another one of these episodes and this channel features two videos about the Pretty Things.
There is another great psychedelic song from this era called "Golden Apples" by the Californians. The song failed to chart in America but I believe had modest success in the U.K. where the band was based. Written by Barry Kane the song was originally a folk song that the Californians morphed into a spectacular work of psychedelic pop.
Not sure I'd call any of that "psychedelic". This genre is "psych-pop" and it never caught on in The States. Very very few psych-pop hits on this side of The Pond. If you want to hear some classic American psychedelic, there's the debut LP by Circus Maximus, or there's "Psychedelic Lollipop", or the early "First Edition" or early Doors. To give your ears a thorough cleaning out, try "Travelin' around" by Circus Maximus.
Finally! A review of Denny Laine! In the segment a small part of the article "Denny Laine and his String Band" is shown. Is there a way to read the whole thing? Great site!
Have to say I loved the early BeeGees better than the later ones. New York Mining Disaster and When The Lights Went Out In Massachusetts. But what do I know. Their singing got better but I could not tolerate Disco. Loved the Zombies highlight though, my favorite group.
5:40 "3 severe concussions"!! It's amazing that anyone survived the crashes that were common in those days, let alone escaped with their voices and looks intact. The cars of that era were like aluminum beer cans.
It was Paul McCartney who told Stigwood to sign them. Stigwood didn't just plant rumors, but he sent out DJ copies of the song without identifying the artist!
You're putting out content equivalent to channels ten times larger. Hang in there. It'll happen. When it does, you'll stop doing the comments and we'll miss you.
The best thing on UA-cam: informative, surprising.
Thanks
Pictures of Lily only reached #51 in the States?!? God, we were SOOO clueless back then!!!!
What a much better place england was in the 1960s totally different from today if only we had a time machine and could go back
i was there, it was ok. no internet though.
Penny Valentine was so astute and intelligent, we could've enjoyed her in the States ❤
Nostalgic BS. Things have always been this bad. You doubt it ? In the mid-60s one third of Londoners lived below the government's own definition of the poverty line.

The 'Swinging Sixties' was nothing but a marketing tool - Britain's underlying economic performance continued deteriorate - a process that has continued with baleful effects until today.
That's just nostalgia. The music was great though
You wanna borrow mine?
Nothing tops the first half of 1967 in London, the music, the scene, the art, the clothing...

New York Mining Disaster, the ground zero for the legend called The Bee Gees
Certainly among the ten greatest LPs of the RnR era, and followed by one almost as good. l worshipped the Brothers Gibb. "The Singer Sang His Song" is still in my all time top 20.
Page using the bow in "Little Games" is haunting and exquisite. I used to sit in the dark and listen to Bee Gees "Mining Disaster". It just seemed the right thing to my 13 year old brain. Some great stuff here I've never heard before. Thanks!
Page lifted the idea of using the bow from Eddie Phillips of The Creation. But to his credit, he's always admitted it.
@@zabadakxanadu . okaysaveme
Exactly and thanks for writing it instead of me.
I never knew The Yardbirds covered that Velvet classic! WOW!
Amazing, isn't it?
Video is here: ua-cam.com/video/BLNSMtpfTx4/v-deo.html
Page was friends with Nico around that the time.
Maybe he got the heads up about the track via her?

Yes, I enjoyed this trip back to April 1967. An excellent range of singles! I'll definitely check out some of them, thank you👍.
Cheers, Edwin!
You live and learn.. I always thought Say You Don't Mind was a Colin Blundstone song, never heard the Denny Laine original till now!
Pictures of Lilly is my favourite Who song. I have a vinyl lp called 'the Most Collection' wit songs produced by him, groups include the yardbirds, Jeff Beck, and a really great song by Terry Reid called 'Superlungs'. Never heard much from Terry again. Some promising songs in this april selection
Reid's 70s album "Seed of Memory" has some good cuts.
@@WattisWatts Also Bang Band You're Terry Reid and the Terry Reid album from 1969, which has Superlungs on it, are pretty good albums.

But they did, and do so to this day. Thank you again, PT/YP.

I was intrigued by one reviewer's comment that the Bee Gees song reminded them of I Don't Want To Spoil The Party off Beatles For Sale.

Another superb dip into the whirlpool of British mod, freakbeat, psyche etc. 45s. And what a great selection this month. I look forward to each new episode (as well as the next Blind Date, of course.) May '67 will be especially great, as that will comlpete the whole of '67. Where are we going next? June '65, June '66 or 'June 68, perchance? There is a slight element of melancholy about how long ago it all happened and how all the musicians, producers and reviewers have aged or sadly died, On a more personal note I recall that I mised a lot of these records at the time as I wasn't in the UK at the time (as I left for Toronto on Wednesday 23/11/66.) Despite that, I really enjoy this series and your channel. Please keep up te gret work! 😀
Thank you very much, Graham. Glad you enjoy these videos. Next series of "cool british singles" will be either 1966 or 1968. I think I'll make a poll and let the viewers decide.
Indeed another great selection again! Also from April 1967 I can remember : "Crystal Ball" from Twice as Much and "Soul sauce" from Timebox...
Thank God Denny Laine hooked up with Paul McCartney five years later or he would’ve been totally forgotten in rock ‘n’ roll
Groovey man !
I would love to visit London in the '60s, if only it were possible.
I do so by watching Austin Powers movies. When I saw the first one, my friend said that my face was glowing!
A mi humilde entender, la psicodelia solo la elevaron, Beatles, Stones y Who en 1967. Mas tarde Pretty Things en 1968 con SF SORROW. las demás bandas, bajaron su nivel, incluidos The Kinks y The Zombies. Saludos! 🇦🇷🎸🎼🎤🎸❤❤❤🇦🇷
German Polydor always had such cool picture sleeves ; they were often released in Holland , bought many of them from cut price bins.
"Little Games" one of The Yardbirds' best was a must buy for me.
Yeah, the dutch picture sleeves were usually the best.
Got both of those Outer Limits tracks on a compilation cds 💿superb
Amazing how the Bee Gees stayed relevant. They made the best disco records.
There is an edit function on here. But, you're right about the disco records.
@@ExplodingPsyche thanks, the keyboard didn't understand Gees
EXCELLENT MUSIC !!!
Yardbirds doing some VU 🤘
Love all the 60s but man i wish it could be 1965 again!!!. Rog.
Excellent work as usual (The Outer Limits single was one I had never heard before!), but there are some omissions--The Pretty Things' "Children", Hat & Tie's "Finding It Rough", The Shotgun Express' "Indian Thing", The Purple Gang's "Granny Takes A Trip" and (my favorite) The Californians' "Golden Apples". The month wasn't quite as psychedelic overall as February and March had been, but the quality was still top-notch with "Pictures Of Lily", "Say You Don't Mind", "New York Mining Disaster", "No Presents For Me" and "In The Deep End". "I Can Fly" is actually one of the few songs by The Herd that I like! I disagree with the reviewer who said it wasn't good psychedelia. Looking forward now to May and utterly *stellar* singles by Procol Harum, Jimi Hendrix, The Hollies, Tomorrow, The Troggs, John's Children, The Hi-Fis, Traffic, The Brain ("Nightmares In Red") and The Koobas! It may be the best month yet!
Cheers, Spirit. May was definitely a great month for singles. Next month's episode will be great.
Thanks for this interesting video. 😃
Thank you. This is the month of my birth on the 24th. The Who and the Jimmy Page era Yardbirds released singles that is cool.
This would make a great compilation album 🤘
The Pretty Things fail to make a presence on Yesterday's Papers... again.
What do you mean "again"? The "Defecting Grey" single was included in another one of these episodes and this channel features two videos about the Pretty Things.
@@YesterdaysPapers Okay. Okay. My bad, I couldn't find them. They did have a single released in April 1967 though. Love the channel.
Not a dog in the bunch! "Can't you see there's no presents for me? Fame and fortune will never be free"!!! ROCK ON YP!!!
Rock on, Buzza!
There is another great psychedelic song from this era called "Golden Apples" by the Californians. The song failed to chart in America but I believe had modest success in the U.K. where the band was based. Written by Barry Kane the song was originally a folk song that the Californians morphed into a spectacular work of psychedelic pop.
Yes, I was surprised to see "Golden Apples" missing here! It's fantastic!!
Little Games is such a great tune.......never gets old
Psychedelic Britain is the best kind of Britain.
Totally agree w you
Give that man a purple heart
My Friend Jack Eats Sugar Lumps 😂
@@hudois so do 👁️
Not sure I'd call any of that "psychedelic". This genre is "psych-pop" and it never caught on in The States. Very very few psych-pop hits on this side of The Pond. If you want to hear some classic American psychedelic, there's the debut LP by Circus Maximus, or there's "Psychedelic Lollipop", or the early "First Edition" or early Doors. To give your ears a thorough cleaning out, try "Travelin' around" by Circus Maximus.
Yard Zeppelin 😁👍👍👍
bert's apple crumble soundsl like the quik heard jimmy castor's "hey leroy" and used it as a starting point for something new. both are great tunes.
It's a wonder the makers of a certain milk-drink powder didn't sue The Quik over their choice of name. Or maybe they did .... anyone know?
Finally! A review of Denny Laine! In the segment a small part of the article "Denny Laine and his String Band" is shown. Is there a way to read the whole thing? Great site!
Thanks for the slice of FAB YP Cheers !
Cheers, Jerry!
Nice memories there. But the description needs links to where one can hear the whole track 😉
The Yardbirds covering the Velvet Underground is a rock history tidbit I had not encountered before. Wow.
Have to say I loved the early BeeGees better than the later ones. New York Mining Disaster and When The Lights Went Out In Massachusetts. But what do I know. Their singing got better but I could not tolerate Disco. Loved the Zombies highlight though, my favorite group.
5:40 "3 severe concussions"!! It's amazing that anyone survived the crashes that were common in those days, let alone escaped with their voices and looks intact. The cars of that era were like aluminum beer cans.
Likely to have been an older model from the fifties, which were usually more robustly built. But no air-bags or other safety features, of course.
Yeah, no. Cars in the sixties were like tanks. It's later on they became like "aluminum beer cans."
The 'Bee Gees/Beatles' links in the press were planted there by Stigwood - one of the many reasons The Beatles disliked him.
It was Paul McCartney who told Stigwood to sign them. Stigwood didn't just plant rumors, but he sent out DJ copies of the song without identifying the artist!
You're putting out content equivalent to channels ten times larger. Hang in there. It'll happen. When it does, you'll stop doing the comments and we'll miss you.
Cheers, Rich!
I agree! This channel should have millions of followers. It will happen, look at Rick Beato now
@@nathalieplum2137 Thanks, Natalie! "Despite the good reviews, this channel failed to chart". Hahaha
