Cool British Singles Released In June 1966

Музыка

Last month, we revisited some cool British singles released in May 1966. Now it's time to do the same with June of that year. And June 1966 was a particularly great month for singles. In fact, this video features more singles than any other video I've made. Hope you enjoy it!

    I borrowed my teenage daughter's umbrella in the early 2000's and was so pleased to see that she had written on the inside, "Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say Please, share my umbrella".

    I’m 8 years old. Mom and dad just separated and mom, my brothers and I are living in a big drafty duplex in East Los Angeles. I heard Sunny Afternoon on the rickety back porch while sipping a soda. All these years later, I can still be transported there whenever I hear that song. Btw. Glendora by the Downliner Sect was on the soundtrack for Lars and The Real Girl in 07.

    One thing is for sure YP, your channel does not fail to chart! Tremendous, 1966 was indeed a year full of great music, from more commercial to obscure R&B and Mod singles. It's a shame that superior singles like by The Creation, Craig and The Wimple Winch didn't score! I think the general public was not ready for this kind of progressive music and probably never would be. It is underground music that attracted a different kind of audience. And this different audience was always going to be a minority, even today.... Thanks Yesterday's Papers!

    Yesterday's Papers you were spot on June 1966 had a lot of great releases with the Beatles Hollies Kinks and Zombies releasing singles but the creativity of the British artists of that time was fantastic with how Out Of Time both versions were made and how they made the song Glendora a Perry Como song into a swinging 60's rocker. The Creation is one of my all time British groups of that era and even today if you listen to their records with their near perfect sounds that when you hear it you know its the mid and late 1960s. Thank You for the post of these great tunes and I wish you a good start to 2024.

    "...Experimenting with Indian influences and Eastern melodies..." Most definitely. And with other things as well. The acid was really starting to kick in by late spring 1966. Psychedelia (a word whose Greek etymology means "soul revealing," and the effects of the drugs, and the non-Western music, were indeed a revelation to the extraordinary concentration of talented musicians and songwriters working in this era) was rearing its rainbow-hued, pretty little flowered head. And rock and roll would change permanently, leave sock hops and ducktail haircuts behind permanently (at least until the roots rock revival later in the decade). Thank you for another brilliant documentary on that incredible time.

    The songs of the Beatles, the Hollies, the Kinks are tops with me. I loved Chris Farlowe version of the Stones' song. the songs by Spider reminds me of Bob Dylan. I'll get on the dance floor for "Hideaway". the Standells' "Dirty Water" was definitely a #11 hit stateside, loved the fashions that the young ladies were wearing and clips of the bands on the weekly music shows, spot on!

    So much great stuff here - much of it unknown in the US. One could almost imagine these songs you highlight being released again to the pop charts sequentially, and doing brisk business in this musically impoverished era. I didn't hear most of these songs, just the obvious ones, but I'm glad I was alive at the time and can relate to the scene. "Here comes my baby" was a hit in the US, an early showing by Cat Stevens, and is one of those upbeat songs about breaking up. Another example might be "Red Rubber Ball" (written by Simon). Thanks so much!

    1966 was a very highly creative magical year in the psychedelic scene. Amazing bands/artists, breaking new musical grounds in San Francisco & L.A., other parts of the globe. Especially the stellar creative artists from England. They took "psychedelic" to a whole new stratosphere. IMHO. 💜

    I can happily say, once again, that I loved every song on this list. I recognised them all, save that downer of a single from Oskar, thanks to research I'd done for a facebook voting group I ran and a good friend who runs an online radio show out of Kent, who is a wealth of information. I'll never understand how so many of these incredible singles never caught on with the record buying public. Such a treasure trove of classics, including one of my favourite bands in The Zombies. Being only 4 in June of '66, I had to play catch up once I got my first job working in live music club here in Vancouver in '74 and '75, and had the budget for my long years of record collecting. Finally saw The Zombies in 2017 and was blessed with a brief chat with Hugh Grundy and Chris White, two of the nicest guys you could meet. Thanks, as always, YP. I love your channel and this exploration of the greatest decade in music.

Always something new (I must confess 'Paperback Writer' is new to me), lots of refreshed songs and even discover that the Chocolate Watchband's 'I'm not like everybody else' is actually a Kinks song! Suggestion: Once you are done with the monthly reviews on British songs you may do something similar on foreign European musicians that had an impact on British charts.

Finally worth name checking Penny Valentine someone who clearly had a genuine passion for music - thanks for posting these cosmic tunes and have a cosmic new year 🤓👍🎸🥁

    A quick message, The Rolling Stones' Hackney Diamonds which you once opened a special KZread page about has now returned to the top of the UK album chart, when I would have thought all their fans would have bought it by now. As for The Creation, they have a box set of their complete recordings throughout the decades, including early Mark 1V tracks.. Many thanks for another great year of videos. Happy Christmas.

    @@BigSky1 I know what you mean. They already bought it once. Now they have to buy it again to get the live half. Many thanks for your info. They are obviously still huge. But most of their fans today must be later fans who were not around in the sixties, with the generations having shifted fast and furious over the vast number of decades. Yet they must be the oldest band who are still going, but not the longest lasting artists. But the fact that their fans are willing to buy the studio half again to get the live half shows that they are still enormously popular. I did not reckon it was going to stay in the Top 10 album charts like it has.

    @@BigSky1 I did not know whether to confess this. But in a way I feel the same. Back in the mid sixties when I was glued to the Pirate Stations, they were among my favorites. But I think from the early seventies onward, they got a bit samey. I like some of the tracks on Hackney Diamonds, but the rest I found was just their usual. But I still think it is incredible after over 60 years that they can re-climb to the top of the album charts with one album, all because it has been expanded, and their fans are still willing to buy the original album again to get the bonuses. Yet during the seventies and eighties, they seemed to have gone out of the limelight, and hardly anyone spoke of them. But come the early nineties, they somehow re-exploded. I thought it was peculiar that when Rod Stewart's group The Faces disbanded, Ron Wood decided to join The Stones to replace Mick Taylor at a time when The Stones didn't seem to be as popular. They are not really the band I grew up with any longer either. But they are definitely the longest lasting band. They were also one of the bands responsible for helping The Beatles completely change the whole music world back in the mid sixties, and out-fashion almost everything before them, making many of their successful predecessors virtually redundant. Hackney Diamonds will now be the Christmas number one album this year. It must be the first time since the sixties that they have had an album of new material stay in the album Top 10 for so long. I have liked an occasional track that they have done since the early seventies, like She's So Cold, and Emotional rescue, only the ones that sound different, or where the songs themselves show out. But most of their later stuff is samey.

    I invariably learn something from your videos each and every time. I've been a cognizant music listener since I discovered how to move the Zenith "Cobra-matic" tonearm from the table model hi-fi unit onto my parents' Les Paul & Mary Ford 10" EPs and my oldest brother's collection of early Ray Charles LPs for Atlantic. Best guess would be about 1958 or thereabout. I was 4 years old. Great to learn about Carl Palmer and Craig, and as soon as I saw the co-writer credit on Spider's single (Fowley), I knew it had to be Kim, so the Sunset Blvd. / Zappa connection was a logical step. Thanks for all the work you do. It is much enjoyed and appreciated.
