- Last month, we revisited some cool British singles from March 1967. Now it's time to do the same with April of that year. Here are some cool British singles released in April 1967. Enjoy!
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 Vietnam War raged [and America did it's best to get us involved ]. 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
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!!!!
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?
@@dilltdog1158 Could be!
What an awesome episode, absolutely love this series!
Glad you like them, cheers!
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.
Cheers!
You've said It all
If they would have made a follow up to LITTLE GAMES their version of "Waiting For The Man" may have been on that, boggles the mind.
@@jasontorres7756yes !
I found a video of that Waiting For The Man cover: ua-cam.com/video/BLNSMtpfTx4/v-deo.html
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!
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much Psychedelic Times for uploading this great info video, I appreciate it!
Pictures of Lily - such a great song and it holds up well.
Very little by The Who has dated at all.
Amazing that the subject matter was never taken into consideration……….😂😂😂😂
@@billmagowan1492 You mean insofar as it didn't get banned?
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!
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.
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!
Poor Denny Laine. Moodys got so much bigger when he left. Hope he found another group to play with.😉
One gulp of Red Bull and, woosh...!
A guy called Paul gave him a job 😂
@@nathalieplum2137 Well, Denny was visually channelling Pepper John in that promo.....(and Pepper Paul in the music).
He was with Paul McCartney and wings
@@barbaraburgoyne8359 guess you missed the winky face.
Love all the 60s but man i wish it could be 1965 again!!!. Rog.
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.
CTA was a fantastic LP!
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.
Artwoods - "In the Deep End" sounds awesome for a loop overdub. I'll get on it...
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.
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?"
The first Bee Gees album is one of my all-time favourite albums. Great, great record.
I hadn't known the Outer Limits were from Leeds! I also noticed the old site of the Lewis's department store during their bit.
some fabulous singles here and. as usual, amazing footage
I got an education here. The Bee Gees and the Who didn't hit their stride in the States until the early 70s. The Bee Gees were known more for having chart singles while The Who had very few songs on the US charts they were better known for being played on a radio format known as album-oriented rock (AOL) in the USA and Canada. Peter Frampton became most successful here in the States in the mid-70s as a solo artist.
But we had AOL rock stations as early as 1966, and college stations playing progressive rock before that. This more ambitious music didn't impact the 45 rpm market until the 70s, but the LPs sold like mad. "Nights in White Satin" tanked as a single the first time around and then went #1 years later, exemplifying how the market had changed. But from Day One the LP was considered a classic.
This would make a great compilation album 🤘
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.
The Yardbirds Little Games/Puzzles is blistering great
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
I've suspected that most Brits today don't understand the context of experimental music in the U.S. during 1966-68, and today's statement regarding the tanking of "Pictures of Lily" on Billboard singles convinces me of the need to clarify.
Beginning in 1966, the American music market split. Commercial pop and emerging bubblegum dominated the Billboard hit singles, purchased by kids from 10-15. However, simultaneously the college radio stations were devoting shows to more mature, experimental and ambitious songs. Music lovers from 16-30 were avidly following these college radio shows, and then the brand new FM rock stations took this even further. I would strongly urge readers of this post to pull up ARSA and check out the surveys of the hits on college campuses as well as the early FM stations like WOR-FM. WOR's charts (which were extremely deep) took heavily into account requests, resulting in what are now called "turntable hits".
This also resulted in a fundamental change in the measuring of the success of a song. Singles that seemed to have tanked in the U.S., like Picture of Lily, were sometimes much more successful that it seemed, because they attracted an older audience (16-30 vs. 10-15) that tended to buy LPs rather than singles. The Who and The Kinks were two bands that were wildly popular in the U.S. during that era, but which tended to sell LPs rather than singles because they appealed to an older demographic.
I can assure you that "Pictures of Lily" did not tank in the U.S., but rather was very well known to the college-age and young-adult market. It got plenty of airplay on the radio stations we listened to, and we bought the LP and the single too even if the normal 45 rpm demographic did not. I played it to death, and it was top 5 on my monthly personal charts.
As a P.S., I have an amusing story I remember. I used to share a room with my kid brother, 4 years younger than me, who was irreverent and witty beyond his years. One day he heard me playing Pictures of Lily in front of him for the first time, and he burst into hysterical laughter. "Wait, he's going to take those pictures and go jerk off?!"
I didn’t know ‘Say You Don’t Mind’ was written recorded by Denny Laine. Must go and listen to it.
Took me back seeing that "Bargain Basement" page of ads at 8:55! Always thought how repulsive that musclebound character in the "Are You A Man?" one looked.
Inspiration for the Bonzos' Mr. Apollo?
The British invasion was a very special time when musical creativity was at it's peak
These take me back I love it. But didn't they write some drivel about the records.....
was that Mr Farmer by the Seeds at the beginning?
Yes, it's an instrumental cover of the song that I recorded some time ago.
@@YesterdaysPapers Very cool
All those singles were great!
But I heard more of...the single didn't chart.
I wish I had a dime for every amazing single that did poorly. I'd be able to build a theme park and hire Brad Pitt to work the rides.
Mickie Most was a poor pairing for the Yardbirds as a producer.
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!
Imagine if Led Zeppelin had been Produced By Mickie Most .. 🤔
Hes the most!
After Little Games, I don't think Mr. Page would have allowed him through the door :)
...they would've sounded like the Yardbirds circa 67
Too many egos in that particular mix, I'd have thought.
Thank God Denny Laine hooked up with Paul McCartney five years later or he would’ve been totally forgotten in rock ‘n’ roll
New York mining disaster is one of the most beautiful songs in history.
So is the B-side, and most of the LP is fantastic. Too bad they dropped "Gilbert Green" from the LP.
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.
Thanks, Linda!
Nothing tops the first half of 1967 in London, the music, the scene, the art, the clothing...
❤️
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.
@@ExplodingPsyche Love that Summertime Blues. Saw him back in 69. Reid and Marriott are in my Top Five singers.
@@WattisWatts I envy you! It was around 69 that someone turned me on to those two albums. Still pull them out every so often. Great stuff.
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.

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!
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.
You seem to top yourself with each video release. Excellent research and editing.
Cheers!
Yes, that is really true!
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.
Yeah, the Outer Limits single is really good.
Yardbirds doing some VU 🤘
Bert's Apple 🍎 Crumble is a smooth 👌 track.
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
Yard Zeppelin 😁👍👍👍
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. 🖖🌱
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!
Phil Wainman would later go on to produce the Bay City Rollers.
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.
There are a lot of guitar licks on that album that later showed up in LZ’s music.
I really hope the YT algo finally figures out what an amazing channel you have here.
Every one of these is a masterpiece.
Cheers, Robert!
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!
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.
The Artwoods - I take what I want is a banger too
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.
I get so "angry" when other people write the thing I want to write, before me,lol . Spot on,he was Page's first choice, but Reid turned it down.
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) 😎
Thanks, Rachel! "Pictures of Lily' is also one of my favourites by The Who. Brilliant song.
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.
Cheers!
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 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.
Cilla black was the pits 😮
I was expecting this one for a long 🙂 Thanks for the great content
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!
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! 🇦🇷🎸🎼🎤🎸❤❤❤🇦🇷
No one like Penny Lane / Strawberry fields forever & Light my fire singles at the time !
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.
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)
The voice over is one of those automatic ones. The stress is wrong on several words.
Man,,,,, San Francisco, New York, Shitcago you name the USA city, none of them or all of them collectively could match the atmosphere of London's psychedelia scene. NONE Great video YP ✌️
When I see the clips of it in those days, that's the London I want to visit. I wouldn't be nearly as eager to see what it has become today.
I'll match the music that came out of Memphis in the 1960's any day over any city, anywhere.
And the London psychedelic scene consisted of a handful of rich kids playing dress-up on the weekends. The average Londoner couldn't afford the lifestyle. They were too busy making a living.
The reality was FAR different than what you imagine it was.
@@tomcarl8021 On many occasions, Ray Davies (Kinks) has stated that - as far as Swinging London went - "the 60s were a lie." London was still digging out from The Blitz of WWII - and this was expressed in "Dead End Street", November 1966. While the US was enjoying an economic boom, England wasn't. Video here: filmed on Little Green Street, Kentish Town, London

@@total.stranger I already know. It's people like the guy who I responded to who thinks it was an Austin Powers movie where every guy is cruising around in an Aston Martin with Twiggy, as they head to a hip, private nightclub to get stoned with The Beatles.
@@pcno2832 Yeah. London was a lot more battered-looking back then, but somehow it didn't matter when the vibes were so great. Many fewer cars too, clogging everything up and suffocating the place with their fumes.
Fabulous music, thanks for posting them. Good time for you. Excellent your post UA-cam channel.
11:34 Also featured in the film Gangster No.1 from the year 2000.
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.
March was the strong month and April was even stronger. Then came the summer of love. 67' went like nothing else before or after. Wonderful time.
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!!
What a time for great music Especially love New York Mining Disaster
This episode flew under my radar!
Glad to have finally caught up with it.
Great stuff as always, thanks!
What a fabulous collection of songs. Terry Reid was an incredible singer. Ossie Byrne produced some Bee Gees tracks in Australia before they left for the UK. Byrne is a bit of a legend here. Thanks again YP
Cheers!
Was Terry Reid at one stage lead singer in The Strangers, which included John Farrar, who wrote Livvy's first big hit, I Honestly Love You, and married her best mate Pat Carrol
@@markhill9275 never mate
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
More excellence! Pictures of Lily really stands up, over half a century later.
I’m surprised it never got banned! Totally over the BBCs heads!!!😂
"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!
That Denny laine song was great..
Yep, love that song.
Love hearing these obscure tracks
Updating the lyrics:
"I used to wake up in the morning, I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights I went and told my dad
He said, ‘Son now here's a certain URL -- The Hub is what it’s called.’
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely, In fact I, I don't feel bad at all
Mia Khalifa made my life so wonderful; Mia Khalifa helped me sleep at night
Mia Khalifa solved my childhood problems; Mia Khalifa helped me feel alright.
Pictures of Mia; Mia oh Mia; Mia oh Mia; Pictures of Mia.
And then one day things weren't quite so fine, I fell in love with Mia
I asked my dad where Mia I could find, He said, ‘Son, now don't be silly’
"Nowadays your love is 31 years old." And so I cried that night
If only she was ten years younger It would have been alright
Mia Khalifa made my life so wonderful; Mia Khalifa helped me sleep at night
Mia Khalifa solved my childhood problems; Mia Khalifa helped me feel alright
But me and Mia are together in my dreams
And I ask you mister have you ever seen
Pictures of Mia”
Interesting as always. :) Keep them coming.
Regarding the BeeGees debut single, it's a darned shame that they didn't make "I can't see nobody" a separate single, or promote it separately after "Mining Disaster" had run its course. In 1969 RCA Victor did exactly that with "Undun" after the A-side "Laughing" had run its course, and it became a big hit on its own; ever since oldies stations have played Undun far more often than Laughing. "I can't see nobody" did Bubble Under, but I think it would have been an even bigger hit than Mining Disaster if properly appreciated and promoted by the label. It's a fantastic song and recording.
I DID NOT know Jonesey did string arrangements on DENNY LAINE's debut single. But- did YOU know Peter Grant's daughter married Denny Lane?! Thanx - keep on educating us and we Like it!!
Nice Stuff My Friend!! I Just Turned And Garage And Psych Was My Passion!!! So Much Good Stuff!!!!
Thanks, Dan!
Yeah Buddy!! Ment To Say I Was 15 And Hooked On Psych and Garage!!!!! Already And Still Am!!!!
Groovey man !
The Yardbirds covering the Velvet Underground is a rock history tidbit I had not encountered before. Wow.
Denny Laine and Outer Limits….brilliant records. Outer Limits had another great single; The Great Train Robbery
Cheers, always something new to groove too!
The bee gees Barry gibb ive been writing since i was 10. Before the beatles were on stage. It you dont believe us' ask lennon and McCartney. The bee gees were already veteren group during 60s.
'pictures of lily' was about masturbation!!!!!!
See my anecdote about my kid brother's quip upon hearing the song for the first time.
'pictures of willy'?@@GeraldM_inNC
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❤
Music reviewers back then didn’t know what good music was. Good thing only the best made it to the USA.
I was eight. It was a great time to be a kid!
"The single failed to chart" seems to be the most repeated line here...so much of pop is dross, and only the really good stuff floats to the top- usually.
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!
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!
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
Cheers, Bryan.
too sad/unbearable to listen to or anyone to understand who didn't live then..they missed it all!
Nice memories there. But the description needs links to where one can hear the whole track 😉
9 minutes in and the ads in the newspaper had "replica pistols" for sale
