I knew of The Nightriders' It's Only The Dog as it's on The Idle Race compilation 'Back To The Story'.

Again, the magical year of 1966. I was born decades later but I would’ve loved to be in my prime in the period. It was simply the best for music. So much changing within a few years. We go from chuck berry to this 10 years later. What was the music like 10 years ago from today? Nobody can really say anything. Almost everything in the last 25 years will never stand the test of time. And In 25 more years, it will still be this music that is remembered and celebrated most.

All very true. Music has for long completely finished. Sadly, far too many artists from these great early days are just not with us anymore. All we can do now is enjoy the music of the past. If I hear anybody mentioning new music now, I always think there is no such thing as new music. You say nobody can say what music was like 10 years ago. I can, just the same as 30 years ago, more and more obscure artists you never heard of who just came and went, and were all completely forgettable, many who looked transexual, and gave themselves names you could not even pronounce, so you could not even tell their genders by their names.

Truly underrated...

I am from the U.S. During the 1966-1967 school year, I heard two different new songs on the radio called "Deadend Street", the one by the Kinks featured here and one by Lou Rawls. It was the last new Kinks song I heard on the radio until they started a comeback with "Lola" in 1970. I didn't know it wasn't a big hit like their earlier Reprise label releases in the U.S. I was surprised when it did not appear on a Kinks anthology CD put out by Rhino in the late 1980s or early 1990s. "Deadend Street" by the Kinks is the only single featured in this video that I heard on the radio in the U.S. I heard a cover of their song "Dandy", but it was by Herman's Hermits, not the artist mentioned in this video.

@total.stranger

"Deadend Street" received a fair amount of airplay in the Southern New England/Providence, RI radio market, but didn't chart higher than the 30s (out of the local Top 40). I loved the record, bought the 45, and also loved "Big Black Smoke". Years later, with the advent of the internet, I found an email address for John Dalton, their bass player, and wrote to him. I wasn't sure, in those days, whether Peter Quaife was still in the band, and asked John if he had played on those two sessions. To my huge surprise, he wrote back to confirm that he had - and that both had been recorded over the Halloween weekend (Oct 29/30) that year. I also heard Lou Rawls's different "Dead End Street" locally, and agree with you that - of all the records featured in this (excellent) YP episode - the only one that I'd heard locally was by The Kinks.

Another great video. A few points here; That single you played by The Nightriders was originally recorded in the States by The Kingsmen. It was The Nightriders' second of two UK singles, both with the same B side. As for that single by The Score, who the hell knew it was a Beatles' cover. But the B side that you also played was originally recorded in the States over two years earlier by Merry Clayton, who years later became a successful background singer, and sung on The Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter. It was covered soon after her by Chuck Jackson, who had the U.S. hit with it. The Small Faces single you stated was originally recorded as a demo. But it exists in two different takes. The first take which I have posted here has less vocals, and it sounds a million times clearer, so you can actually hear the lyrics. It has a lot less reverb, so you can hear the vibes much better, and I prefer this version. This was apparently the version that was issued in the States, out there on RCA Victor.

The Robert Plant led version here, I thought got let down by the female backing vocals. But it stated off sounding good with that pseudo-Steve Marriott on lead.

“I don’t exploit anyone that doesn’t want to be exploited.“ Say WHAT?!

Listening to your channel brings back a lot of memories of growing up in the sixties. It also surprises me just how bad some of the recordings were back then. It is no surprise that the only two songs to do well chart wise were by the Kinks and the Small Faces, I love both of those bands, In My Minds Eye being my favourite record during December 66 when it was high in the charts. The Fleur De Lys were one of those bands that seemed to be going to break into the big time but for some reason never did. Most of the other songs on this months list sounded like bad demo tapes though I do remember that Equals single getting some airplay on one of the pirate radio stations. Give the record companies their due back then, at least they gave artists a chance to do something different and did stick with them for a while if the first few singles failed. I quite liked that earli incarnation of Eobert Plant though. I just missed seeing him earlier this year when he did an unannounced performance at the Blackpool.Winter Gardens Were going to go to the event but went to the one held a week later as we prefered the bands that were advertised to be on that one. Really enjoying your channel anyway.

I love these monthly breakdowns of 1966. It's my favourite year, a great atmosphere and so much excellent experimentation in the recording studios. Totally agree with your comment regarding the Small Faces eclipsing most other mod bands due to the awesome songwriting skills of Steve & Plonk. Bands like The Action were still covering American soul songs and banging then out as singles which was pretty lazy. Eventually The Action did some songwriting and found out they were really quite great at it (Those 'Rolled Gold' demos are fkn amazing and it's one of my 'all time' albums, a desert island disc for sure) but unfortunately it didn't bring them any more success but they deserved to be hyowge!

Some great sounding records, although I think The Kinks with Shel Talmy was genius. Ray's observational style, his lyrical gift elevates Big Black Smoke above the rest for me. That vibe and feel on vinyl, on a Dansette or radiogram is quite a thing...I always enjoy your films.

The melody of that Small Faces' track, I suddenly remembered came from the chorus of a Christmas Carol, which I think was called Ding Dong Merrily On High We used to have to sing this at school. But if the tune was already over 50 years old, it would have been out of copyright. So Marriott & Lane could then claim it as their tune, as they at least slowed it down, and the last few notes were different. It was ironically their Christmas hit of 1966, yet the lyrics had nothing to do with Christmas.

The equals I believe they had Eddie Grant that became famous in the 80s for the song electric Avenue? In the US they had one hit, “baby come back” that was actually covered by Bonnie Raitt.

When it was released in the US, RCA Records paid for a full-page ad in Billboard/Cash Box to promote "All Or Nothing" - in addition to giving it a B&W picture sleeve - but I never heard it played on the radio. Ditto, the following year, for "Tin Soldier" (with a full-color picture sleeve). Something went wrong with The Small Faces in the US, and I'm not sure why. Both were/are terrific records - and the B-side of "All Or Nothing", "Understanding", was also top tier. "Kink Kronikles" was the best idea that Reprise Records ever had in promoting The Kinks in the US.

Some of these records I am unfamiliar with. However, the ones I am familiar with are some of the best stuff of the sixties in my opinion especially The Kinks single.

There are a number of November singles missing here--by The Who (the EP with the psychedelic "Disguises" on it), Episode Six, Thane Russal, Twice As Much, The Attraction, Magic Lanterns, Young Idea, The Pandamonium (a cover of "Season Of The Witch"), Eyes Of Blue and especially Allen Pound's Get Rich with the fuzz monster "Searchin'" In The Wilderness"--but there's still plenty left to enjoy from the rest. "Dead End Street" is one of the best Kinks 45's, and the flip is equally as good; both songs could have fit perfectly on the class-conscious "Face To Face" LP, with Ray already reaching an early peak of his powers at this time. I, too, prefer "Misfit" to "Hippy Gumbo", and "Major Catastrophe" is a gem of a find. December should bring awesome singles from The Who, Cream (a real relief after "Wrapping Paper" LOL), The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Move, The Flies, Herbal Mixture, Mick Softley & The Summer Suns, The Mirage, and more!

Gosh. Robert Plant, Marc Bolan, Lemmy, and Jeff Lynne all look so cute and innocent. Since I was a teenager in the 70s I can honestly say the transformation from the 60s to the 70s will do that to you. Of course, you know I loved this episode.

Jeff Lynne later joined Roy Wood in the Move. Before that he was in the Idle Race who did some great tracks. Lemmy, I believe, had been a roadie for the Birds featuring Ronnie Wood. Whatever happened to him?

@@chrisbacoshe was a roadie for Hendrix. He joined a Psychedelic band called Sam Gopal. I first heard Lemmy in the early 70s when me oldest bruv used to play Hawkwinds Silver Machine to death on the old gramophone! First band I ever saw was Motörhead at Brum Odeon - Ace of Spades ♠️ tour - superb! 😎✌️

As music year 1966 draws to a close, I have to conclude that 1966 produced perhaps the coolest British singles! You must have "Mud In Your Eye" not to see that 🤩!
