Welcome to the first episode of "Cool British Singles from 1968".
For the next 12 months we will be revisiting some great British releases from 1968 in chronological order.
January 1968 was a particularly excellent month for singles, with a few psychedelic classics and other sensational tunes that have become cult classics among fans of 60s music.
I hope you enjoy this episode.

Great video. Lots of killer tracks, By the way the bassist/vocalist for Grapefruit was Alex Young (using the stage name George Alexander). He was the older brother of George, Malcolm and Angus Young. He never emigrated to Australia though. He's in the shot at 16:59 sitting on the left (just under Brian Jones and Donovan). You can totally see the family resemblance.

Wow this was fantastic as one of the turbulent years of the 20th century got off to a great start music wise with some great releases. The songs here by the Move Manfred Mann The Animals The Creation are my favorites by these groups and the Grapefruit though I like Elevator better had a good record plus any time The Small Faces are doing something you know it will be good. January 1968 was gloomy in the U.S with the Tet Offensive and the capture of the Pueblo but the British as usual were putting out great records and thanks for starting posting great 1968 debut records.

As always, YP, so much great music and too much of it went unnoticed. Ah, the riches we lived in when chart competition was fierce. Grapefruit guitarist Alexander Young was the elder brother to The Easybeats' George Young and future AC/DC members Angus and Malcolm. Very cool to see the promotional poster you showed advertising Eire Apparent supporting Jimi Hendrix at the Pacific Coliseum, a great ice hockey rink built in 1967 to showcase an NHL team that didn't materialise until three years later. Hendrix had family ties to Vancouver as his grandmother lived here, recognised as an important person in her community. Thank you, as always, YP, for these deep excursions into the charts, music, and bands that deserved more attention than they received.

Sky Pilot is okay, maybe the weakest track here (for me), but Fire Brigade brings a smile to my face while getting me out of my chair. Matchstick Men was a medium hit here in New England while Quinn was massive, but radio programmers really needed to be reprogrammed.

So much good music came out in 1968. I look forward to the comming months. I was especially pleased to see Billy Nichols featured. Such a shame that circumstances w/ Immediate records prevented him fro being even more successful. Everytime i hear this song, I laugh at Steve Marriott singing in the background- his voice is so powerful it's a standout. I paid a pretty high price for this CD recently (it's considered a collectors item) but enjoy it thoroughly.

One more funny thing was his stage name, George Alexander. Just like the REAL name of the Flamin' Groovies bass player. Still following? 😉 Funny too I read the Jeff Beck interview, near the Status Quo article. Where he said that Jimi and Cream were finished. And, cool, I got this Ride single with a Creation cover.

He was known for his "pictures of matchstick men". At the time it was popular, I never understood what the song was about: all I knew was that I liked it. This has been another excellent episode.

Whoopeee! I figured you'd either do 1965 or 1968 next. Happy to see you go with the latter! From what I gather '68 was a bit more eclectic and it'll be interesting to see how England pivoted away from the swinging era and the psychedelic era. I wonder if we'll see that shift towards heavier bands...

As always I enjoyed it. Most Americans have never heard of the Quo and don't about their longevity in the UK and the rest of Europe. I discovered the Creation in the early 90s and in recent years their music has been featured in TV commercials here in the States. I noticed Olympic Studios in London in the photo of Stever Marriott and Ronnie Lane. I met the latter at a Los Angeles nightclub in 1987 and was very humbled as he was suffering from MS. Something extra. January 1968 saw the second Super Bowl which was played in Miami. It was the final game with Vince Lombardi as head coach of the Green Bay Packers as they beat the Oakland Raiders 33-14. The Super Bowl Trophy awarded to the winner is named after him. Interesting huh. I know many UK fans who watch this channel like American football.

Anyway, good start, Can't wait to see how psychedelia became harder and slowly phased throughout 68, cheers!

I didn't realise the Psychedelic thing carried on to '68 to this extent

This was pretty much its last hurrah. The Summer Of Love was long over, and the reaction against flower-power and the like was about to set in, one consequence being a short-lived back-to-the-roots rock 'n' roll revival. You could view Fire Brigade and its sharp contrast to Flowers In The Rain as being a harbinger of that trend. A few months after this one would be seeing the first lads with skinhead haircuts (strangely, they were known initially as "Mods"); a violent swerve away from excessive hirsuteness (though plenty of hair would still continue to be seen, on both head and face).

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!

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.

I was just talking to Olivia D’Abo the actress from the TV show “The Wonder Years” about her dad’s song the mighty Quinn. She Gave me some fascinating stories about as a child people like Kenny Jones of the small faces and Ron Wood coming over to their house and playing with her.

Great Video, YP, with a good mix of well known classics and interesting rarities. Love "The Mighty Quin" by Manfred Mann. Totally agree with Penny Valentine's review of that single.

Isn’t Quinn the Eskimo on Self Portrait? I always thought that’s why when The Basement Tapes was eventually released in 1975 it didn’t appear on it. The version on Self Portrait is live with the Band at the Isle of Wight.
