Thanks 🤩
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?
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.
Love what you did when Jimmy So Vile 's name was mentioned.
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.
Yep 💯 for Ruby Tuesday.
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.
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.
There were a lot of good singles released that month that I haven't been familiar with. R.I.P. to Jeff Beck. 😢🎸🎶
Aaah the wonderful Wimple Winch. A whole albums worth of ideas on one side of a single
I love this channel!!
Only killers,no fillers!!!
"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!
Once again, Yesterday's Papers...delivers. : )
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.
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. 😂
Rest In Peace GEOFFREY ARNOLD BECK…🎸🇬🇧✌🏻
Let's spend the night together watching "Yesterday's Papers" and listening to some cool music!
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.
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.
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😊
Cheers, Jogi!
This channel is fab!
So true Derek. A very inventive period for the Stones. Great insight into the times.
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!)
Happy new Yestersday’s year 🙂
RIP Jeff Beck, I was lucky enough to see him 4 times last decade, he was truely one of a kind 😢
Happy new year, Jean-Marc! Very sad news. RIP, Jeff Beck.
Super cool for me, as a Swede, to be able to ger a glimpse of what we missed. Thanks for your great work 🙏🏻😊
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.
Great channel, by the way. Soon as a new one shows up, I drop whatever else & dig it. Kudos, and thanks, it's a treat!
Thanks, Tom. Cheers!
@@tomp.6239 Me too. Usually too busy to just drop everything, but YP's latest always goes straight to the top of my "To Be Viewed" list.
@@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.
8:10 I've been looking for that movie for over 45 years! I saw it on an old B&W TV around the time of the Church committee hearings of the late 1970s on CIA efforts at mind control and media manipulation ("Operation Mockingbird") during the previous decades, but the name of the film slipped my mind and no one I know remembers it. Despite its flaws, it seemed prophetic then and seems even more so now. It's probably better as a historical artifact now than it was as current entertainment in 1967. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I love that film, it's well worth watching it again.
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...
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!
Agreed!
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.
The Game and Wimple Winch! I'm one of those guys who haunted record shops in the early 1980s buying compilation albums like Chocolate Soup! Seeing your coverage of these bands and their previously unknown back stories is amazing. Well Done!
Thanks!
I haunt Discogs for these tunes now. I have Help Me Mummy's gone on Rubbles, which is just a blinder of a tune. Thanks to this episode I've just ordered a copy of the LP Purple Heart Surgery Vol 3 for Addicted Man.
@@ericwinnert That's really cool. I just search for 'em here on CZcams these days because this apartment has no room for a record player and boxes and boxes of albums. My fave rave pick of the week is Real Crazy Apartment by Winstons Fumbs!
Absolutely amazing channel! The research which goes into this is top class! Just fantastic content
Thank you for your marvellous work. I'm discovering and digging groups I didn't know.
Love this! Many thanks, Yesterday's Papers! Jeff Beck (RIP)
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
I would love to get my hands on that 7" by The Game. The B-Side is the real score.
Terrific work putting this together. Well done.
Another excellent episode, great work
So glad I’ve discovered this channel as a lifelong lover of sixties music and proto-punk/psychedelia especially! A lot of names I recognised too…
Made my day ! Thanks! ...now I'm off to shop for singles.
Fabulous window into the past as always, best channel on you tube.
That was excellent. Thank you.
My day is complete...Another great video that has me checking out these unknown treasures. Thank you YP.
This is great! Thank you. I’m really enjoying this channel.
I really enjoy looking up the songs from the show. Cheers!
Thanks again. Happy New year xxx.
Nice presentation. Most of these bands aren’t known or remembered in the states. This is a good introduction.
Love your channel, brings back lots of happy memories. Thanks.
Thanks!
Thanks for another good one. I love your videos.
Thanks.
I love that photo of Brian
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 series, pleased it is continuing. Interesting contrast to the musics we grew up with in the States and found a lot of great music I had not been aware of before. Thanks!
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 👍
Hello again, thank you for posting them. Good time for you
Great Music! Great Britain!! Great Channel!!! ✌️🎸
Thanks for this interesting video.
man this channel is so banging.
Always great videos and getting even better! That looks like my current personal M- copy the Game floating there in the background - a bargain on the side of the platform it was first offered.. Sold the demo I have uploaded on my channel some time ago.
thankyou for this program find out lot of unknown good times 60s band.
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.
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. 🥳
Cheers, Nathalie!
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. 🇦🇷❤💥👌
You had to be there. Pop music at it's finest.
Great channel……👏👍
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.
So many great records...shame that seemingly nobody reviewed my all-time favorite single, which came out in January 67, "The L.S. Bumble Bee" by Peter Cook & Dudley Moore, which was part of a sketch in their Christmas episode of "Not Only...But Also", the one that had John Lennon as a men's room attendant. Even tho it's a spoof on psychedelia and the music is more Beach Boys/Supremes than anything in this video, it's a timely comment and still a really fine single.
Great job on all these videos!
Holy shit how have i not heard of the L S Bee lol Cheers ^^
lol What a gem. Thank you Sir ^^
@@paulnolan4971 Tis indeed - first heard it on Dr Demento in the late 70s, later found out it was falsely thought to be the upcoming Beatles single, in the lull between Revolver & Pepper, thus it appeared on many bootlegs & the Rhino "Beatlesongs" LP. Dudley Moore wrote the music & did the arrangement, a fine piece of music.
I absolutely love that sketch. And especially with Peter and Lennon.
Ive been wondering who did the B side of the Game song for years . That is a great song . THANK YOU !
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.
Thank you, Linda. Yes, the news about Jeff Beck's death are really sad. A great talent.
@@YesterdaysPapers …..Jeff was wonderful, I’ll never forget the first time I heard Blow By Blow. Rest easy Jeff, you’ve earned it.
That Intro music was sick! 0:08
Whiter Shade of Pale was No 1 when I was born. June 1967
Just bought The Game 45! Thanks for the heads up! 🙌🏼
Cool!
Smashing
Back in 1962 I think Paul Jones was asked by Brian Jones and Keith Richards did he want to be the lead vocalist in a new group they were forming , but he knocked them back. He even looks like Mick😀
Excellent episode! The Stones were very cool! When songs are banned, they become more interesting, don't they? 😉
Awesome work, as usual!! The only single I think was missing was "Try It" by The Attack. You have such great info--I didn't know about the controversy over that Oriental-themed ad for "Strange Light From The East", LOL. It's also funny how songs like "Let's Spend The Night Together" and "Addicted Man" were so controversial for that period, as they seem so innocent now. I debate with myself on whether to categorize "Ruby Tuesday" as psychedelic--I guess it's sort of psych/baroque-lite...and one of the greatest ballads of all time. Penny Valentine gets a night in the box for saying "I'm A Man" wasn't as good as its predecessor; IMO it's even better, the best thing Spencer Davis ever did. A *really* exciting track!! Anyways, I can't wait for February and The Beatles, The Hollies, Episode Six, John's Children (the B-side "But She's Mine" with Jeff Beck on it is a gas--RIP), The Smoke, The Soft Machine, The Poets, Graham Bond, and Keith Shields...psychedelia really starts to take over in that month.
Thanks!
Lotsa bangin' tunes, alas I was born too late
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.😀🤗💯
Check out Julian Lennon's version o' Ruby Tuesday...Magnificent perfection!!!
@@johncollier9280 Thanks for the recommendation!
I didn't know this version. I just listened to it and I loved it.😀
thank you! great thing
Next month should include My Friend Jack
Yep.
Nice job to mention the Stones album "Between the Buttons". Notice the lead track on the UK version is... Yesterday's Papers. 😄
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.
Truth is you could buy those songs in the US. They weren't "banned."
Quite early this month... Glad it is!
YP great as always! Funny at 13:19 😄
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!")
Thanks, Tom.
What a great period for music. Wimple Winch - great!
(1:34) The Rolling Stones' concert from Sala Kongresowa, Warsaw, Poland, on April 13th, 1967.
That "Addicted Man" is mesmerizing, it really is something!
I believe that banning it was a major mistake. It would have made more people aware of the agony of addiction, and hopefully motivated to help out friends or family being hit.
1944 - CHILLINGBOURNE.
With what comes out now in music that wouldn't be an issue
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.
Always fun to watch these.
Can't wait for February!
Great tunes released in the month of the first Super Bowl and the tragic fiery deaths of the Apollo 1 Astronauts . Record Buyers got their money's worth with the Rolling Stones Ruby Tuesday and Lets Spend the Night Together which are in my opinion one of the best records of the world's greatest rock band plus I Iove the story behind the censorship of Stones record and of Addicted Man which sounds like a clever record. The US in 2023 is having censorship problems as the Idaho State House and Senate voted in a bill that could jail School Librarians for releasing books that has content in them the state does not approve of so this censorship crap is just as silly in 2023 as it was in 1967.This video has had me research many of these unknown but great records thanks for posting them.
The Surf Fairies? Who the hell are they?! That aside, another great video. Help Me Mummy’s Gone should have been the A-side. Fantastic track. They didn’t release much but few they did are gems, including Gonna Get Me Someone, which Ray Charsley sang lead on.
I love a good music flashback 😁
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
Not so long ago, I discovered that Jimmy Miller was Spencer Davis producer. Listen to the begining of "I'm a man" and then, listen to the begining of "Sympathy for the devil" studio version... Get the connection? 😉
Anyway, great video, so interesting, as always.
My education continues. This Yank has only heard two songs out of all of these---the Stones and Spencer Davis. And here the added kicker is Derek Taylor's LOL and right on comment on Let's Spend the ***** Together. All the other songs sound intriguing. My next destination is youtube to listen to them in full.
Very enjoyable! Thanks as always YP.
Cheers, Willie! Some great proto-punk songs in January 1967 like The Game and Wimple Winch. I think you'll love those.
@@YesterdaysPapers Hi mate, I know I'll love them. Dig this. Proto hardcore recorded 1972 released 1973. From Belgium. Amazing! czcams.com/video/Iq3MxnRSezg/video.html
@@willieluncheonette5843 Wow, pretty cool. That sounds way ahead of its time.
@@YesterdaysPapers true
Derek Taylor's take on US culture at 1:41 remains as valid today as ever.
Yeah, US culture today is really uptight and square. Hip-hop culture especially. It's all so G-rated. And there's no sex on TV at all. It's like the Eisenhower 1950's all over again.
And people like Cardi B and Lizzo are a couple of modern-day Marie Osmond's.
Yeah, modern American culture is EXACTLY how Derek Taylor described it.
@@tomcarl8021 true! It was 60 years ago. But I think America still has the tensions inherent in the dual strands of individual liberties and religious conservatism. Thus, for instance, you can watch Cardi B gyrating on tv, but you can't identify as an atheist and make it into political office.
@@doctorbohr1585 We have 12 year olds having babies; 15 year olds killing each other; 18 year olds getting diplomas who can't read; 30 year old grandmother's...I can go on and on and on...
There has been a complete and total cultural collapse that I've witnessed with my own eyes. We have all slid face-first into a goddamn sewer.
But, to you, America is still not enlightened and progressives enough because there aren't enough politicians who identify as atheists????
Jesus f*cking Christ!!!
I didn't mean to make you angry, nor to make an anti-American comment. It was just a cultural observation. I know the US is experiencing trouble right now, and as an Aussie, I wish my American Friends the best. Take care Tom, and enjoy the music.
@@doctorbohr1585 My point is that if the US was as right wing and oppressive as you imply, than those same forces would put a quick stop to the things I mentioned, and then some.
I'll end with this point:
America has a high crime rate, correct?
Well, if America was as right wing as you think...
We would have VERY LITTLE crime.
Think about that.
Great sounds and sugar cubes. Thanks for Wimple Winch track wish I’d kept my copy! Boo hoo!
