I didn't realise Status Quo was a British band

Good old daze when the police did their job.

"Nite-Is-A-Comin" is such a MASSIVE tune. Massive, massive, massive. I remember when Japanese producer Cornelius was making the album "Dr. Head's World Tower" for his group Flipper's Guitar, widely regarded as their best, and it featured so many 60s nods and samples since Cornelius was a huge fan of 60s contemporary rock and pop. There are plenty of "Pet Sounds" samples on it, for instance. But the most massive tune on it deliberately samples "Nite-Is-A-Comin" for their last track for 10 grand minutes.

Watch on you tube some of KAREN CARPENTER,s drumming WHILE SINGING!👍😉

Good job. I believe that Traffic Jam was forced to change its name due to Steve Winwood's Traffic band.

Imagine liking humperdinck and Tom Jones but not the beach boys. Boooo

Desde que descubrí su página,soy un Fans total,soy escritor musical,y casi Todo lo que usted pone,yo era mis en 1966en España,a los 12 años ya era Mod, mod

Wow! If only....if only all those singles and their B-sides were collected, remastered, and released on one CD! Hours, if not days, of pure listening pleasure! Sure, there are some less-than-original and hungry bands trying to cash in on the psychedelic trend, but you could hear many bands moving away from the 50s vocal sounds, and the early 60s Pop sounds.

ABSOLUTELY,,,, my time, my mind, my new generation is here. Life is Art. Thank you for posting. Good time for you. Great work artistic here.

Absolutely, fabulous performance music, fantastic times. Thank you for posting. Good time for you

Excellent first episode, can't wait for the next ones 👍

Small Faces were a memorable band. The rest are borderline trash and will reside in obscurity.

Matchstick Men is one of the very greatest songs in rock history. To me it never became dated nor did it pall with heavy airplay.

Penny Valentine really had a ear for hits. She almost always knew if a song would be successful.

Amo a Kaleidoscope

Love this music so much, thanks!!!

What a strange beat. She moves her entire arm. 🤔

Another brilliant video. I've discovered so many hidden gems thanks to you! Keep up the good work!

1968 rocked! Great video and thank you for keeping your series going.

Thanks for another excellent late 60's month! More ideas for some obsure and not so obsure psych sounds!

In the 60 years since, I have never heard of the surname "Lantree" even once.

1968... Enter most weird haircuts I've ever seen.

Man he was smart.

I think the producer Vic Smith is Vic Coppersmith-Heaven. He may have failed The Attack but he saw The Jam right about 10 years later.

Have heard only a few of these so thank you again, YP for a very enjoyable education. I wish my college classes were so much fun. Of the new ones to me, that Jason Crest song was the one that caught my ears on this video.

Kaleidoscope UK! Genius!

Fantastic, YP. Some all-time favs in there - The Creation, The Move - and plenty of discoveries! Spooky Tooth was a good surprise and like the great Paul Weller was a little influenced by them when going solo. As usual, thanks! Cool stuff indeed.

Another great month of singles. Thanks so much! 😂

another great month's worth! Thanks so much. :-)

Did this post draw the most comments? Hell hath no fury like A Beatles fan finding out that someone does not view the Beatles as sacrosanct. The folks that label Chapman as bitter or grumpy obviously don't have mirrors. One man's opinions about music on a first listen and folks need to excoriate him? I bought Abbey Road the day it cane out, and like Roger, I was less than impressed on first listen, but repeated listenings are the true test of the worth of a piece of music. Revolver, my favorite Beatles album and well within my all-time top ten, has improved to my ears over the years. I was impressed by Roger's knowledge of music of the past - the past before another 55 years had gone by. And Family was a great live band the one time that I saw them in '69.

You can see the influence off small faces style on status quo and by chance Steve Marriott is on billy Nichols song on this video,

Did I miss 1967? I'll write a full comment later, but it seems you left off most recently with December 1966, unless I'm mistaken.

Plenty of cosmic tunes - many of which I got scattered across various psychedelic comps. The Small Faces were at their peak in 68 with the release of their seminal Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake lp. A feature on Immediate would be good, I’ve got all of Loog Oldhams bios and the rise and fall of Immediate records is fascinating 😎✌️☮️

what a fantastic time!!

Love it when a new video drops, there's always a little gem in there that I've never heard before.

Some really fantastic singles particularly by The Creation and Kaleidescope but my favourite is by PP Arnold. Sooo good.

Sky Pilot is the greatest anti-war song ever recorded. It’s criminal it never went #1

I was born on 6/30/66. Music lover ever since. 🍻🍻🍻

Been going through all these monthly singles videos for 1966 & 1967, but this one really felt wanting; a mere nine featured songs (and that's counting Shel Tammy's "Legal Matter" cash grab)?

Thank you for your marvellous work. I'm discovering and digging groups I didn't know.

Steve Marriott should be a household name in all English speaking countries. Dude was a powerhouse back in the sixties and early seventies.🕊💖🎸

some of those songs are still around and you can hear it in radios, bars, supermarkets etc......crazy isn't? and it's only January ! Are there any memorable songs that came out in January this year & that will be played around in 56 years?

Anyone know the Tune at the very start of the video ?

1968 was a great year for music,my favourite song was Jeassamine by the Casuals.

Trevor Burton was a mean looking mofo wasn't he? Great vid, as always YP.

Ill take the attack and eire apparent. Thanks YP for another great collection.

A dream for Julie! What a great track.

Psychedelia still rules the roost in January '68, with so many cool, trippy sides seeing release--although "Fire Brigade"'s Cochran quote foreshadows the "return to rock'n'roll" trend that would sweep through UK rock that spring. Oddly enough I never really took to "Fire Brigade" until just recently, but now I like it. "Sky Pilot" is one of the greatest tracks from that lineup of The Animals, while "Sunshine Help Me" is a lost classic that would be covered to even greater effect by The Move a few months later. Indeed, I like just about every single reviewed in this clip, from Manfred Mann (their finest hour) to Status Quo to Grapefruit, although you missed a few by Cherry Smash, The Virgin Sleep, The Plague, and Cat's Pyjamas. No matter--this was a BLAST to watch and I'm just as excited to watch this series as I was for '66 and '67!! You're archiving history here, YP!
