PLAYLIST | Cool British Singles from August 1967: kzfaq.info/sun/PLZiczFvWkHKExSJ9Kbqq5Y8-_syCUVzig

One of the first 45s I ever bought was the Stones’ Dandelion/We Love You, back in the day. Impeccable musicianship on We Love You.

Was there, London '67, 16 years old, stoned, and loving every minute of the new releases.

This has to be the greatest channel on KZfaq.

Another superb video. Thanks for all your work on them. I really liked all the records mentioned here. The absolute stand-out for me, quality wise, was Flowers in the Rain.

I was born in August 1967. Looking at archive film from the late 1960s, the women were beautiful.

I want a time machine and go back to the 60's after watching all of these. Well done!!

Late 1960s British rock was the most experimental music before or since. It is truly mind blowing the number of great songs released at that time.

By far the coolest music channel!🤙

Another comment here. This channel is so great because it highlights the beginning of Rock being the great hybrid that it became. Any previous musical style could be used to make a viable rock song. The seed of rock may be American but man did it flower in England.

In the U.S., Hendrix's "The Burning of the Midnight Lamp" was the B-side to the single of "All Along the Watchtower." My copy got mysteriously cracked through (thanks, Little Bro!) but I continued to play it...it...it...until I could scrounge the ca$h for ELECTRIC LADYLAND...

As someone that completely fell in love with the Beatles at a young age and has loved 60s British music ever since, your channel is really wonderful in that it's helped me discover a lot of lesser-known bands that I might not of otherwise learned about. Thank you!

Really enjoying the obscure psychedelia you are uncovering, you have genuinely inspired me to explore many of these bands further. Thank you.

This has been such an excellent series which illustrates why the summer of 1967 was such an astonishing one for popular music here in UK. Thank you for championing artists and tracks that deserved more success alongside artists like the Beatles and Stones.

this is really a great channel , i love it, I love 60's and 70's music , greetings from Italy

Astonishing to realise that a lot of my favourite singles of that era all came out in the same month. I've still got a copy of the CD compilation "Midsummer Night's Dream" which does a brilliant job of pulling together the heat-haze sound of the late sixties in one place. Fond memories of sitting by the sash window in my flat, letting the breeze go through the flat and listening to that one, which featured The Herd's "From The Underworld" prominently.

What a brilliant collection of songs! Fascinated to hear about the trials and tribulations of The Move. An excellent production from start to finish!

05:50 The comment about the music always changing in those years and not being stuck in the past was so true--1967 seemed like a decade away from 1965. Interesting enough, in the fall of that year (1967) Bob Dylan was going into the studio to record his roots Americana album "John Wesley Harding". And soon, psychedelicae would also be "the past". Thank you so much for these videos. I'm hearing so much of the music that never made it across the pond.

I love Skip Bifferty! Their album is incredible! 🎶🙌🏼

Another stunner! Really look forward to your channel..

“Many great psychedelic singles released in 1967 failed to chart when they originally released, but later became cult favorites.” That statement and The Orange Bicycle reminds me of “My White Bicycle” by Tomorrow, released in May that year.

“Tin Soldier” made No. 73 on the US Billboard chart.

Zoot Money becoming ur-psychedelic Dantalian's Chariot is a gem of pop music history from the period I managed somehow to have missed. I knew Money were Andy Summers' first taste of fame, and it was funny hearing his praise for Soft Machine whom he later would briefly join after Kevin Ayers' departure. This is by far the best series on the greatest year in pop music history imaginable. Thank you.

Was 17, a senior in high school. Later came Itchycoo Park, Incense & Peppermints & 8 Miles High. For people alive & teen aged at this time it's just in our memories. Special memories.

I remember someone taking a transistor radio to the school swimming sports at that time. My friends and I hung around outside listening to the latest hits on Melbourne radio which included Hole in My Shoe and Itchycoo Park. It was downright orgiastic!

Many thanks for the best 14 1/2 minutes of my day. Subbed with gratitude!

Hey, these are fabulous videos. Thank you for the trip.

When I was 15, it was a very good year, sung to the tune of It Was a Very Good Year😂😂. Thanks for the memories and the great channel

Loved this one, YP! I was introduced to most of these bands by an online friend who is a DeeJay in Kent (I'm Canadian) when I was researching for the 60's music voting group I run on Facebook. Some great music here that deserves to be remembered!

Another amazing video from the best Channel. I honestly thought i knew a little bit about 60s music but your channel is a real lesson in what was really happening in the greatest music decade ever.

I check almost daily for your posts. The absolute best destination on the entire world wide web.

Really excellent stuff. One of your very best.

Been my favorite RnR channel since it came to KZfaq. Top shelf productions guaranteed everytime they post. GOD BLESS YESTERDAY'S PAPERS. Thanks guv👍

Super interesting. Your channel always delivers. Thanks You .Cheers!

Another great episode. So many gems.

I really like almost all of the songs here, except for Hole In My Shoe. I imagine The Young Ones version has a lot to do with hat. Such a shame about The Move's problems with royalties on Flowers In The Rain, I hope Wizzard's Christmas royalties were some consolation ☺ This such a great feature for discovering hidden gems (Skip Bifferty), nice work once again

Fabulous ! Very well put together, most enjoyable. Better than many big screen documentaries on music.

“ I think the Soft Machine has much more to offer.” I guess so, because after Andy Summers left Dantalian’s Chariot in ‘67 he played briefly with the Soft Machine. What a varied musical career he had prior to the Police. He is around a decade older than Sting and Stewart Copeland.

Well done & always like a trip back to ‘67.. Thanks, peace❤️😊❤️

This channel is amazing! Great research

My favourite year for music ever, thanks for posting

The Small Faces and Itchycoo Park...makes my heart glad every time I hear it ❤️

That Orange Bicycle tune is just something else, truly one of the best psychedelic songs of the 60's.

This is your most impressive production to date.

Another fantastic video YP, in fact they just get better & better. A couple of stories you raised led me down the internet rabbit hole for further info: 1.The Guardian reported at the time of The Moves libel case: 'The royalties on the record and sheet music of Flowers in the Rain and the coupled song Lemon Tree, and the damages to be paid by the last two defendants, will go into trust and the money be shared equally between the two charities named by Mr Wilson: the Spastics Society and the amenity funds of Stoke Mandeville Hospital, to aid paraplegic patients' - so I was glad to read that the royalties continue to help those 2 worthy charities. 2. The full story of The Fortunes manager Reginald Calvert's tragic death is covered on his wiki page and is a grim little piece of British pop music history that I'd not been aware of before. A fascinating, macabre story.

I learn so much with this Chanel, sooo cool, love you guys ✌️😍😎

Hole In My Shoe, Flowers In The Rain and Itchycoo Park. Does it get any better? What a wonderful era for music. Thanks YP

Favourites: 'Flowers in the Rain', 'Dandelion' (flip of 'We Love You'), 'Hole in My Shoe', 'From the Underworld', and 'Itchycoo Park' in descending order, although they're all fairly close

I greatly appreciate this channel. I was in my mid-teens during this period, and it is so interesting to hear the lower-tier bands we never heard of in NZ. I just created a saying: "Just because you like a steak, it doesn't mean you can't like a hamburger". I have dived into obscure old girl groups & 50s to early 60s R&B, this is a similar excursion. Thanks!

Great stuff! Keep 'em coming! 🙏🏻✌🏼

Love this channel. For me, this one really hits my memory. Age 14. Psychedelia, Hendrix, John Peel, Pirate Stations etc. That was on my transistor radio. On my portable record deck was Zappa, Jethro Tull, John Mayall, Floyd etc. Radio chart stuff was regarded as commercial crappyness mostly! Although of course it was glued to my ears! Great work here and a significant cultural record of popular music.. Tons of music I now realise I didn't hear at the time, but of course with no internet the average person had to make considerable effort to find stuff other than what was presented via limited TV/radio/press sources. No simply tapping a button on a phone. You had to actually physically go out and search for pieces of vinyl!

Sting was 15 when Andy Summers was releasing music and talking to the music papers. The guy played beat music, psychedelia, probably glam, punk, new wave...

I remember all of these songs from my youth. What a time to be a kid who loved British pop.

Nice... More Jimi, please!!!! You guys had him for nearly a year before we ever heard about him. We finally started hearing him about July/August of '67. Yes, the H. estate is notorious for not letting anybody play "their" material. It should belong to ALL OF US. I would still like to hear any news you guys have from that magical time.

This channel is doing the lords work!

Great video again. In the USA, "We Love You" was never played on the radio. Maybe in the 60s, before I can remember, but not in the 70s. I suppose the psychedelic sound dated it. It's a KILLER track which I never would've heard had I not purchased "Singles Collection: The London Years" around 1990.

Thankfully, the KZfaq algorithm brought me here. Obviously subscribed.

What a time that was. Stones went psychedelic. Small Faces at their height (pun not intended), Hendrix doing his thing, Traffic being brilliant.

So cool to hear that 70s legends Andy Summer and Peter Frampton got their start on the London scene like so many other great guitarists of the time.

This is effin' brilliant. Exactly why I watch Yesterday's Papers videos

The Herd & The Move, ah the memories they bring back. I still play the 45's

Those were my teenage years - glued to my little bedroom radio in the 'burbs of Dunedin, NZ. The music came from another planet, the sound only, as if created by faceless Gods, but none of these background stories of struggle or politics ever trickled through with the music. There was no taint. Just perfection. Gods they weren't, but geniuses, yes! I was entrance by the little girl's voice on "Hole in my Shoe", She was six and I was hitting 13. Nothing weird. Just, enchanted. So 50 years later I tracked her down ('slewthed' would be a better word) and 'spoke' with her, via Facebook, for a few minutes. Cannot tell you who she is, but I can say that it shattered my illusions. They were actually very dark days for that little girl. But perhaps it is safe to say that her best memory was in meeting Steve Winwood. He was, by her account, a total sweetie!

I was 13 yrs old in the summer of '67 these songs bring back a few memories. Nothing like it today or tomorrow for that matter.

Brought back some walking down memory lane times !;;¡!!;! Thanks.

I love these videos. More please.

5:31 Dantalian's Chariot 'Madman running through the Fields' with Andy Summers is such a catchy tune, I can't believe it hasn't been covered by others since then.

George Chkiantz later recorded much of the work by the Fripp/Cross/Wetton/Bruford iteration of King Crimson. A truly powerful band, and what was asked of George was no easy task.... 🚬😎

Ah yes the summer of love and yes it truly was. The late 60s were the best years of my life. It's a different world now. They should have listened to us....

Hyacinth Threads sounds cool. Never heard of them. Sounds like a wild mix. I love psychedelia.

The start looked like (Kings Road) where I'm from, Kensington and Chelsea in London. As a kid I remember the 70s glam rock kids frequenting it. Kings Road also and it was just a continuation of the 60s stuff but even more flamboyant. Great selection mate. Small Faces loved by Londoners. Sorted! Hahahaha 🤣 Resuwwwwt! Lol 😂 I live in Alanya region (Turkey) of the beautiful Med Sea climate. Nowadays. Here's where....video attached. Two in fact.... This was filmed early May by a Brit guy. Even then it was hot, unusually for May, at around 33c plus or minus either way. These are the comments I made on the video. QUOTE Superbly well made mate. I moved here in March 31 2021, I travelled a fair bit before deciding here. I've not regretted it. I'm a Turkish resident now. Just renewed it for another two years. Just over two hundred quid inclusive of legal stuff. I rent an apartment in Oba Alanya just up the road from Cleopatra Beach. Three hundred Euros a month. My water bill was 6 quid for May. Electric was just over fifteen quid. Ciggies are a quid twenty pence for twenty. I don't smoke but it's a good comparison to UK. 324 Sunny days a year. Jan is about 12-14c and rains a few days only. Feb is the worst at 8-12c and rains like the tropics for three weeks but not incessantly. March to April starts to get warm again. 18 ascending steadily to 25. May it's been 25-31 no rain. In fact it rained June 15 for half a day. Before that March 10. June is hotter this year than last. 32-37 July August last year was 38-46. Sept to December averages about 25 to 21 sliding scale. UNQUOTE Lots of ladies from Eastern and Western Europe. Scandinavian. African. Asian. Australian. English language is the norm. Second one is from a drone shot about ten days ago. Today is 38c ☀️ so yes thanks. I will have a good day 😊🙌 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7t_Z6leysqnaaM.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7WqpJylxNSdcYU.html

Dandelion should have been the a side. Love that song. It's rumored a Beatle or 2 was singing backup. Eh. Posted this too soon. They did have Beatle backup. Anyway, love the channel.

Love this channel

Some real good music out of 1967.

Not only an interesting video BUT an enjoyable read of the 'comment's'...... It's so refreshing to have nearly 100% POSITIVE & INTERESTING comment's (100% with this post.) Opening people's eye's to the fantastic music they missed is an extremely worth while job. I lived through it and it's "opening my eye's" to missed music. (Thank you). I was thinking while listening to this month's review's, that it's no wonder some great music & artist's never made it BECAUSE there was just SO MUCH / TOO MUCH & this is just the UK.. There was some fantastic music being released over the other side of the pond, too.

Sir, I don't know where you get this film, these record reviews, these bits of film, but please keep doing what you do. I am a fan and I await whatever you put out next. Thank you.

This is probably the greatest month in the history of music…

Exciting times, there were so many sounds and styles to be inovated

I just about remember Hole In My Shoe by Traffic at the time it was out. Great Mellotron sequences and a surreal bit where a young girl whispered some poem about an Albatross. Loved the Sitar as well. One of my most favourite psychedelic records that I actually haven't heard in years, so thanks for the reminder.

The greatest channel by far👍

Thanks for the info re the 45s ~ I've now got a new "record collection" via YT, amazing tracks; who knew? So many great records came out that magical year, something in the air... never happened quite like that again!

Your channel is a gem for people like me into the history of pop music. The US Billboard charts often are quite different than the UK charts .I think "Dandelion" , the flip side, by the Stones got more airplay than "We Love You" in America. The latter is a perfect example of a great psychedelic pop song.

The 60s will always be the best for music !!!!!👍😎

Excellent series on UK freak beat psych! You could make dozens of videos looking at the 45s from this era and I would love them all.

The summer of love simply the best

Love this narration

That one pic of Frank Zappa, lol. It fits so perfectly with the story of "aint this some bull"

What great music that month. Dantalians Chariot great single.

Another fantastic production by yesterday’s papers. Hilarious story about Harold Wilson. First time I’ve heard that one Lol.

It’s stunning the sheer volume of decent singles by bands that essentially got nowhere. It was a crowded field.

What a first class channel this is.

So good, YP... crazy that Pearce Calvert got himself shot! This was very informative and entertaining -- Happy to see that both The Orange Bicycle and Dantalion's Chariot appear on that excellent 5 CD Psych set we discussed in the Livestream. 😎👍

Hendrix Burning of the Midnight Lamp is an indescribable jam. Doesn't fit any category IMHO. One of my all time favorites. though.

I believe this is the best yesterday's page segment

thank you. i've been looking for the title for over 50 years, just remembering the melody, which now turns out to be skip bifferty's on love.

I bought some of those singles at the time. I must have been tuned on that kind of music. OH the memories...

A month that will never happen again, like all months I suppose, but that was one I would like have repeated twice a year. Any video that shows vinyl 45s being pressed is ok by me!

What people were listening to when I was being born. Great music, better than anything in the charts today.

Excellent! 🙂👍

I really look forward to watching all of your videos on the weekend with my morning coffee! You have so much great information. Is that a live version of Midnight Lamp you have playing in the background during the Hendrix segment?

History of fun. Thank you.
