Unfortunately, the part of the video about "I Can See For Miles" by The Who had to be removed due to a copyright claim. Sorry about that! PLAYLIST | Cool British Singles from October 1967: kzfaq.info/sun/PLZiczFvWkHKHKiym1OpnbRkL3GLAKMHaf

I can’t understate how important this channel is, terrific work like always👍

After hearing these ‘cool British singles from…’ series, it makes me think I lived on the wrong side of the world. I’m a lover of British progressive rock. I was introduced to Family not too long after their debut by a neighbor who came back from a tour of Vietnam. Many of those servicemen would stop in the Philippines to buy their stereo components. This neighbor had a massive set up installed and I remember him introducing me to Family. Nice mention of Genesis (my fav) being influenced by them. Cool hearing Simon Dupree and The Big Sound. As mentioned, they did morph into Gentle Giant. Probably one of the most progressive of all the progressive bands that came out.

Kites! Absolute genius:))) One if my favorite songs of all time:))))

My teenage years were in the sixties. What a great decade!!

What a great piece of history.

Andy Partridge of XTC once remarked that he's basically spent his whole life trying to match the artistry of 'Autumn Almanac' by the Kinks. I get where he's coming from, it's an incredibly complex song that packs so many ideas into a mere three minutes.

God how much I love this channel. Please never stop.

Awesome. Autumn Almanac has always been one of my favorite Kinks tracks. 55 years ago...the music scene was so brilliant.

The song by The Accent was the clear stand-out. Incredibly impressive work.

The Family, what a great and underrated band.

Among all the surprising stories here, the one that amazed me the most is the existence of Alan Bown's version of "All Along The Watchtower" and its inspiration to Hendrix' one. So much brilliant stuff I haven't heard of here...

Autumn Almanac had another great song on the B-side, DAVID WATTS, which was recorded by The Jam about 10 years later.

Also released in October '67 is the 13th Floor Elevators' second album Easter Everywhere. While the rest of the music world congregated and celebrated the "Summer Of Love", the original psychedelic heroes hid from the extremely oppressive anti-drug law enforcement and Texas rangers in a cabin in Kerrville, Texas and wrote that autumnal masterpiece with the aid of drummer Danny Thomas and bassist Danny Galindo that Elevators guitarist Stacy Sutherland met at an Austin jam session earlier that year. Happy Halloween.

I had to pause the video and do screen grabs and screenshots about a dozen times so i can look up these songs and albums. This channel is like finding buried treasure! Love what you're doing. Thanks

This channel is the next best thing to a time machine. There were so many creative bands and fun songs. Kippington Lodge reminded me of their psychedelic "Lady on a Bicycle". Also SImon Dupree and the Big Sound with "We are the Moles" Only Ray Davis could write lines like this in Autumn Almanac: "From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar When the dawn begins to crack It's all part of my autumn almanac ...."

A good channel for audiophiles looking to browse for more cool tunes from the 1960s. Love the actuality film clips too.

What an amazingly creative year 1967 was, this was just the tip of the iceberg really.

Simply love this channel, thank you SO much. Highly informative.

The month/ year i was born and now I'm turning 55. Always been fascinated by the music 🎶 from this time, living in Scotland. Especially the psychedelic music 🎶 😁🤪❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Family was one of my favourite bands back then . Also the Groundhogs!

American psychedelia was harder and more political because we were sweating out getting drafted and angry about the war. A lot of great American bands never left their home towns because their members needed to stay in school to remain safe from the Army.

I'm a big 60's music fan and you're posting music that I hadn't heard before, thanks for sharing and keep them coming

Thank u Yesterday's Papers for uploading this!

Fascinating video from YP as usual! It’s interesting to hear excerpts from these great singles, many of which I had not previously heard. Autumn Almanac is surely one of the Kinks best ever recordings. The song’s brilliant evocation of an English autumn is an absolute joy to listen to, one of Ray’s greatest songs imo! It’s also nice to revisit music journalist Chris Welch’s insightful reviews, he was my favourite music paper columnist for many years, and still makes interesting contributions to music based TV shows such as the fascinating ‘Classic Albums’ series!

I assumed I knew most of the pop releases from the 1965-1968 era. How wrong was I ! The year 1967 alone produced so many fantastic music, and this video made me discover a couple of totally obscure yet brilliant singles ! Thanks so much for your page !! Keep up with the good work ! :-)

Soo love the Kinks, waiting for a new album while it is still possible. Please Ray and Dave?

I've always loved "I Can See For Miles". "There's A Mountain", peaked at #11 U.S. pop and "Love Is All Around" was definitely a surprise hit in May '68 Stateside, going to #7.

Kinks : "painting vivid and verbal pictures....... every day happenings an absorbing lyrical quality"

I first heard “Dream on My Mind” the other day and was completely floored. What a great psych track.

Thanks YP, fascinating stuff! Having grown up with this music, it’s always sobering to know that for every group that made it into the charts back then, there were a dozen that didn’t.

Every time ''The Kinks'' come on, my heart skips a beat. 1:47 I love that band, the most underrated in history. Thank you, YP.😀🤩🌹

Graham Nash by October 67 had established his musical credentials, but his juggling needed much work.

Love this channel. Gives such essential insights.

What a great series of videos! Thank you.

A wonderful window into our pop past, keep it coming sir.

This episode is incredible! Thanks for turning me on to some of the songs!

Impressive job, your videos are always the top-notch!

Fantastic episode! Really captures the sounds and vibe of this movement 🤙

Many thanks for all the great recommendations.

Loving these explorations of less-well-known singles in that period.

Keep up the good work this channel helps me find hidden 60s gems

In the 90s when most people were playing Wet Wet Wet's version of "Love is All Around" My mother was proudly playing The Troggs ... it all just came screaming back to me 🤣😂 Another fantastic video here, YP. I've genuinely never heard a Kinks song I don't like. Amazing band and one of the best from that era 🎸☺

The Accent - what a fantastic single! Never even heard OF them until now. Thank you. 🙂

absolutely wonderful as always!

Great backstory on “All Along The Watchtower”. I love those historical details. Thanks so much for another great video!

"David Watts" should have clearly been the A side for that Kinks single.

Another outstanding video! Absolutely full marks for the picture and film research which really makes these so fun and colourful to watch. A lot of time and effort must go in to these mini-productions and it shows. I've loved this music for years and it's great that you are bringing it to a wider audience who may not have heard it before. Keep up the good work!

There's something about the sound from that era that's just timeless! Brilliant stuff YP...👍

Ahh.... Kinks fans such as myself know. 💗

Great stuff. Thanks for your informative presentation. The Kinks song is sublimely beautiful.

Wow, some more great songs to discover here as well! Thank you for your awesome work!

I miss the 60s.

Outstanding video! I love English Psychedelia, but I have not heard of most of these bands..thanks for excavating these buried treasures.

This is a great little slice of music history. I'll have to look into some of these songs. Most of them I've not heard before. 🎶🎶

Just subbed . Brilliant work!💜💜👍👍🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸

Love your channel, mate! Keep 'em coming!

I love this channel so much. It not only educates but it always helps me get through my work day. Thanks!

What a lovely time to be around

Awesome set-list from the first song! What a creative time indeed.

What a great bundle of singles! Very interesting stories about Ruperts People, Alan Bown, Apex and Blossom Toes. Man, what a great single "Dream On My Mind" still is! Great historic footage as well! Thx!

What fun YP ive read of them all and listened as well good show cheers !

Always so interesting and informative. Oh yeah 🎶 and fun too. Hope you are doing well and please keep them coming.🙏😷🎵🎶👀❗

Love this, era!! ! 😳

Excellent! I want all of these! Thanks for introducing me to some great music I hadn't heard previously.

I know we say that with every new Yesterday's Papers video, but this is the best one! With all the other ones! Thank you again so much for your work, Monsieur YP 💯

Very well done, once again. Hats off. *****

Excellent! I really enjoy these time capsules from a unique time in pop music. Great work! ☮🕉💜☯️⚡⚡⚡

Thanks so much for this! Didn’t hear any of the profiled records over NYC radio- 77am nor the Good Guys over at WMCA. A real shame too. But now I’ll ask my friend who lived in London at the time.

In 1967 i was 7 years old and i only heard about and ilove her the beatles in mexico city and really gat me

I can remember watching Top of thePops when Kite was a hit. If I'm right (and I was only 6!) there was an atmospheric film by a cliff...or was that a year later with Fleetwood Mac's Albatross!!!!?? Either way,it's a great song and very evocative of that time. Thank you.!!

Greetings from Austin, Texas. Always look forward to your episodes, especially the British Pop singles I've never heard. And the incredible period film clips, stills and the 45rpm record labels(how did you get those?, wow) BUT there is one that did stand out: 'There is a Mountain'. I did hear this on AM radio a few times when it was originally released(dating myself) but I knew it more from "Mountain Jam" an improvised instrumental jam by The Allman Brothers Band released on the 1972 release 'Eat a Peach'. Then there's 'All Along the Watchtower'...now this bit of back story is amazing. Thanks for all you do, Mr. Yesterday's Papers~!

Wow, what a month of music that was! And I thought I knew a fair bit about '60's music.........!!!!!! Just awesome stuff. Was looking forward to Apples & Oranges review but that was released in November (recorded in October). Really enjoyed that one, thanks!

I have always loved Autumn Almanac. It's so very English delivery always appealed to me. Donovan featured at his best here too. Great to see the Troggs in this episode (I must add them to my collection). The Alan Bown-Hendrix connection I am just learning about now from you, YP. Another fantastic upload! 🥰

Kites is great man. Great rundown thanks. So much good stuff, Ofc I couldn't resist the GG gatefold as soon as I saw that cute giant. Also got 3 friends and Octopus. I need acquiring the taste to round that out

I turned 16 in Oct. '67. I love the fresh energy and enthusiasm of these songs.

Psychedelia was a great land to arrive when turning 18 in mid-July of 1967. I would love a compilation disc of the British output.

One of my Fave Channels

Good to see a quick mention of The Blossom Toes. Saw them in 1969 in Manchester. Excellent group.

How many GREAT 45s can you jam into one video??!!??!! Well done.

Brilliant as expected!

Not one of my favorite Kinks songs. But its still a fantastic song. Just speaks to how great they were. Donovan had so many interesting influences.

Great sounds I remember well, even if I was only 11 at the time. There was something in the air back then.

This was very enjoyable--entertaining and educational. Living in the US I had never heard most of these bands. I can really hear the British psychedelic influence on the upcoming progressive rock movement. Thanks again for an enlightening channel!

I wish that the Troggs B-side would have been mentioned along with their classic love song “Love Is All Around”… it was a more psychedelic piece that could have been released as a single, as well-“When Will the Rain Come”🙂✌️🎶🥰

Each of these monthly postings makes me think that month was the best. But October /67 really was, especially when the Who are included. Thanks for starting with the Accent. I have wasted/invested quite a bit of money in 60s comps, but starting with the Accent made me slap on the Great Psychedelic Trip, V.1 just to hear that (and the End, Turquoise, TinternAbbey, ...). Living in the US, of course I missed most of this stuff when it came out. I heard She's Got the Time by the Poor (with Randy Meisner), so that version is my template, but I still loved hearing the Afex. I lived in London in the summer of '69 and If Only For a Moment by Blossom Toes was/is my favorite purchase that summer. Harmony guitars before Wishbone Ash did it. So I do prefer that Blossom Toes album to the first, although I do appreciate 'Clean.' October '67 had great chart tumes and great commercial flops, but especial thanks for including the flip sides. Never knew that I'd love Dave Dee. No matter how much I think I know, I watch a posting and come away with my mind in a psychedelic haze. Thanks YP!

Love it like always, I actually liked Night of the Long Grass by the Troggs, not sure when that came out, it was their stab at psychedelia. I'm grateful that you turn me on to cool music to look for

Brilliant stuff. Love 'Kites' and 'There Is A Mountain'. Even my grandmother loved 'Autumn Almanac'.

Interesting to see Graham Nash on the Donovan "There Is A Mountain" film.

Another great video, YP! So many amazing songs, all coming at once, it's small wonder many couldn't crack the charts. I'd never heard of Kippington Lodge so that one's definitely on my list of future explorations. Thanks for that! From all that I've read of Decca, they were a difficult label to sign with. If they felt you weren't getting enough airplay or the potential for such, they'd simply cut you off. Imagine how differently things would have turned out had the label signed The Beatles, based upon the audition tapes they'd cut with them? Possibly given a more rigid producer and may never have gotten past their first single.

That was a great description of British vs American psychedelic music. Lots of rare music here.

I never knew that about the origins of Gentle Giant. Thanks 🙏

Fantastic video.

As a vinyl DJ since the 60's I love some of the B sides of 45's. Tunes such as "14 hour technicolour Dream" by The Syn with "Flower Man" as the poorer A side, & "Reflections through the Looking Glass" by 1910 Fruitgum Co;" the flip side to the cheesy "Simon Says", both great Psychedelic tunes I have in my Great Backsides playlist

Love this stuff, takes me back, especially Emperor Rosko........

Anyone else catch Graham Nash juggling while Donavan was play guitar at 4:01!

What a great selection here, thank you. The Accent is the pick of the bunch to my ears. Surprised to hear pysch like that from Dave Dee and co, superb stuff. (Has anyone here heard their 1970 album without Dave Dee called Fresh Ear? It's a masterpiece).

Good episode. A Spotify playlist would be great!

Apropos of nothing- I adore listening to Jethro Tull in the autumn; it just fits !!! 🚬😎

I wish they YP would do 1965 month by month episodes. Love 66 and 67.
