Last month, we revisited some cool British singles released in January 1966. Now it's time to do the same with February. And February 1966 was a particularly great month for singles. Enjoy!

Many years ago I had a wonderful opportunity when I got a call from a woman in Palm Springs, CA. She told me she had a bunch of records that came from the estate of Dave Hassinger. I knew who he was from his work with The Electric Prunes. Needless to say I was on my way to the desert. To cut to the chase I bough some fantastic 45s, LPs, and some of Hassinger's gold records. I got Dave's gold LP for "Out Of Our Heads" and his gold 45 for "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". As a bonus I got Dave's scrapbook which included all kinds of interesting items. One was a letter from Andrew Loog Oldham thanking Dave for his work on "Satisfaction". As a way of saying thanks Andrew and the boys made sure he got an engineering credit on the 45 label. All these items were going to be tossed away! Can you imagine that??

It’s hard to credit all these songs were released in a single month, I think we took it for granted at the time. The Yardbirds truly were an innovative band, with their excellent “Shapes of Things” covered by many artists including David Bowie. I’d never heard of The Wheels before but so many groups simply faded away if they didn’t make the Charts. I always thought it quite sad that Graham Gouldman didn’t have more success with his own compositions before he did, the man was always a gifted songwriter. Thank you kindly Yesterday’s Papers for another fascinating flashback.

@@YesterdaysPapers …….I agree, especially when you consider the number of quality guitarists in the band’s lineup over the years! I think The Yardbirds are remembered fondly enough by their fans, but perhaps because so many members (Page, Beck, Clapton) enjoyed more commercial success outside the band (be it a later band or a solo career), unfortunately, that’s what the artists’ are best remembered for, rather than their work with The Yardbirds? At any rate, it’s always nice to revisit these wonderful times, so thanks again YP.

I like the RAWNESS of the recording's and liked the London Band's over the Mersy Beat stuff. Did you ever see "The British Bird's" ? They were very yardbird's like.... I was struck by The Wheel's too. Never heard of them but that single sound's worth while to "youtube". All the Best Linda, Michael.

The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Animals, The Hollies, and The Walker Brothers released some of the best singles in rock and roll history during February of 1966. The only record that i found disappointing in this video. was The Action's version of "I'll Keep Holding On". I am big fan of The Motown Sound. and The Marvelettes are one of my favorite Motown groups. Just my opinion but The Marvelettes all but own "I'll Keep Holding On" which was one of the best records that the group ever made.

This channel is a godsend and shows time travel is possible (haha). The Kinks, Yardbirds, Troggs, and the Creation all laid the groundwork for punk, metal, hard rock, and other subgenres that followed. I was just a little boy in 1966 that discovered the Creation in the 90s. In the 2010s their music appeared as jingles on TV commercials here in the States. The Troggs are sadly underrated and while they had success along with the Creation they should have been more successful on both sides of the Atlantic.

This is one of those months, like May 1967, that just seems utterly charmed. What a stack of stone-classic goodies!! So many delicious fuzz-toned rockers and multi-layered harmony-pop hits, with mod at its peak and even the emergence of the first psychedelic song ("Shapes"). You missed Peter and Gordon's "Woman" and The Craig's debut "A Little Bit Of Soap" but no matter, as I ended up being introduced to the Wheels and Gary Walker singles, with The Wheels really coming as a surprise--you're right, it sounds very proto-punk at the end! Good stuff. March should dig up some gold in the form of The Who, The DC5, The Spencer Davis Group, Them, Fleur-De-Lys, Roy Harper, Alan Price Set, and Nicky Hopkins! You can't go wrong with 1966, there's never been another year in music like it! Brilliance flowed like air and water.

Lots of interesting trivia, like Bill Wyman's dive bombing bass line at the end of "19th Nervous Breakdown" or Beck's innovative use of controlled feedback and sustain on "Shape Of Things". And that it is considered the first psychedelic single! I also really liked the mention of the excellent but underrated Mod bands the Action and the Creation. This episode showed what the counter culture was all about: not conforming to the conservatism of the old generation. In the end there was this garage band the Wheels with "Bad Little Woman".

19th Nervous Breakdown, a great song! Over the weekend , I went to The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. On exhibit is the behind the scenes and concert stills from the 1972 California leg of The Rolling Stones tour. Photographs taken by Jim Marshall. After recording Exile On Main Street at LA’s Sunset Recording studio early in ‘72, when it was released it went #1 worldwide. The Stones supported that record by touring. I was particularly interested in these photos since I went to their concert that year in San Diego, at the late, great San Diego Sports Arena. A raucous affair, if ever there was one. Let’s just say a lot of arrests. Those photos brought back a flood of memories. That same year, at the same arena, I saw perform Black Sabbath and Yes! An interesting pairing, but it worked.

A really good month for music, but I think '19th Nervous Breakdown' and 'I Can't Let Go' are a cut above the rest

Only one or two I haven't heard of this time, but some really good picks, I always love some Animals and Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich is something I've only relatively recently stumbled onto but instantly fell in love with. I would say that they might be one of the least commercially friendly band names though, lol. Also thanks for reminding me that I still haven't watched Death Proof 😋 As always love these videos, thanks for making them and hopefully introducing some of this stuff to a wider audience.

What a fantastic review of a great month's worth of UK singles! At about 5:30, you should have stated that 'You;re A Better Man Than I' was included on the Yardbirds' second US album, however.

On our first TRIP I tried so hard to rearrange your mind. In the US " Sad Day" was the non- LP flip which is just as good as the Aside. That's Bsides the fact!

There were some great singles released that month. I especially like The Yardbirds. The Walker Brothers don't get as much respect as they deserve. In my opinion. I really like The Hollies, too.

I totally agree with the girl's criticism of Jagger not being audible enough to hear the words. And Brian's reply is very telling of what would have been happening between him and Mick at the time. Also, when lyrics are so unusual in a song that it's hard for the listener to understand them, it's crucial the band make every effort for the listener to hear exactly what is being sung. Especially for a single!! Again, how interesting was Brian's comment, though. Wow!

I'm not sure singles ever got successful because of the lyrics, heh. It's not a poem, it's the whole package, it's the emotional experience. And fans do sometimes get caught up in the singer and forget to pay attention to the entire band.

So enjoyable! A terrific month for singles and some I've never heard so thanks for the education, YP. That Stones song was the first of four from what I've called their "delirious" period. It was followed by Paint It Black, Mother's Little Helper and Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In the Shadows? I remember being in a car driving around with friends and hearing all these on the car radio. Immediately the volume was jacked up full blast and we were all laughing and howling like crazy people. BTW I never once felt Mick's voice was too low in the mix. All the lyrics are clear as day. Love that clip of the woman asking for the song. That was a wonderful touch. You are a REALLY good filmmaker, YP. If you ever make a feature film I would love to see it. Maybe we could swap films.

Thank you very much, Willie! That was definitely an incredible period in the Stones' career. Great lyrics and music, they defined 60s cool.

Regarding Sitar- wasn't the sitar used as incidental music on " Help" LP-( "Another Hard Days Night")? I haven't had the LP in years - the CD copy doesn't include any of that anymire:( Thanx YPs!!) Later update: uk and US " Help " LP copies differ. The CD version of US copies do not contain film music :( Thanx for everything!! ( except the CD version - Wreck- ord companies

The Gary Walker song sounded familiar. It was covered by Dawn Penn in 1994 as a reggae track.

She originally released it in 1967. Remixed it in 1994 for the ska/reggae revival. Shimmy shimmy walk by the Megatons, in 1961 is a great instrumental version but it's bo diddley that started it in 1955.
