As a Yank who came of age in the 60s, I am absolutely fascinated by all of the British bands and music I'd never heard of back then. The British psychedelic scene was so much more groovy and spacey than the American psychedelic sound, I think. Thanks for this great series!

[@crowhillian58]

As a Brit I think Americans produced some fantastic psychedelia. Suzy Creamcheese by Teddy and his Patches for instance.

[@michaelrochester48]

I got to meet Graham Nash a few years ago and I told him that the best Hollies song ever was “king Midas in reverse”, and he proudly pointed to himself and said “I wrote that song you know!”

[@stevecharman8420]

My favourite Hollies song was 'Dear Eloise' which at the time led me to buy their album 'Butterfly'. As usual, the British (and Commonwealth) album version was superior to the US release.

[@markjulianoriginalhooli2217]

Look through any window one of the greatest songs ever written and performed ✌️

[@YesterdaysPapers]

"King Midas In Reverse" is my favourite Hollies tune, too. Brilliant song.

[@boomtownrat5106]

@@michaelrochester48 On the live album,Four Way Street, CSNY did an acoustic version of the song. That’s how I was first introduced to King Midas in Reverse. I don’t recall hearing the Hollies version on AM radio in 1968.

[@KevinRudd-w8s]

King Midas in Reverse was my favourite Hollies single as well, I thought Butterfly, released around the same time was their best album too. Part of the problem was the Hollies were never taken as anything other than a pop singles band, although John Peel did include them in his round up of "Underground" band that appears on this channel. I went off the Hollies after Graham left, though my musical tastes were changing around that time anyway which was probably the main reason. I still think the Hollies were one of the best pop bands to come out of the sixties though.

As a Yank I am constantly amazed, although I'm not sure why, at the plethora of fine singles released in the psychedelic era in Britain. I've discovered so much good music listening to your excellent posts, YP.. I think I read that another reason Graham wanted out of the Hollies was they wanted to start singing Bob Dylan songs. Is that right? Love the little touches you add like the "Why"....lol....that was exactly what I was thinking that second. Thanks YP. You're the best!

I was listening to this episode as I was doing some cleaning when the Turquoise song The Ballad of Flossie Fillette came on. I was thinking, oh, that must be Ray Davies, and the Kinks, a release I had not heard before. The lead vocalist sounds just like him. Then it was mentioned the group was influenced by the Kinks, which makes perfect sense. Thank you, YP, for the trip back to 1968.

[@YesterdaysPapers]

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@total.stranger]

And it did not go unnoticed that one of the members of Turquoise had his hair parted in the middle - just like Dave Davies (and The Pretty Things' Phil May, RIP). In 1964, that sort of thing was unheard of and scandalous, but by 1968, it was wasn't that big of a deal. See also, the bass player for The Left Banke, Tom Finn (RIP), who also wore his hair that way. God Save The Kinks!

[@marcbolan1818]

Always cited The Fabs leading the way out of psychedelia as early as Feb '68 with Lady Madonna. "The Band" would push most to abandon psychedelia and get back to roots. The remainders developed into prog.

The End made my favorite psych album with “Introspection.” Everything about it is superb. Your clip of “Loving Sacred Loving” is in mono. The mono version of that album was made for radio broadcast and is extremely rare and expensive. I’ve never heard the album in mono or even a portion of a song. I’m a big fan of mono recordings/records so I may have to see what's online. I’m not sure if I’m the only one but your videos take me ages to get through because I take screenshots and make notes.

The Beatles did what they always did best? Changed the direction of music, they were over the hippie phase and decided that music had to go back to it's roots.

[@willminkorea2010]

A theme was the impact of the talented younger composers- Harrison, Winwood, and Nash- maturing and needing bigger challenges. Plus, individual members of bigger bands were sharing their talents and tastes with newer bands resulting in hits and misses.

A month seemingly heavy with songs not a lot of people remember very much anymore. I hope it isn't simply MY post-1967 malaise, but the remainder of the decade already feels like it's going to be a lot more somber, a lot less hopeful than the era's psychedelic high-water moment--America's 1969 Woodstock Music Festival notwithstanding. Really loved Father's Name Is Dad--a real gem!

[@mackb909]

Wow- so much here! Bought the "Introspection" CD back in the 2000s when it was reissued and loved it- impressive what Bill Wyman was up to when not holding down the bottom for The Stones. The slice of psychedelia by Lemon Tree was a treat- and penned by poor Chris "Ace" Kefford, The Move's bassist/high-end vocalist, who right about this time was forced to retire from that band due to what was said to be a drug-induced nervous breakdown (The Move IMHO was never the same after that and began the long slide into mediocrity before Idle Race leader Jeff Lynne took over and gradually transformed it into ELO, a monster '70s hit machine that nonetheless never equalled the original charm of the '66-'68 Move). The post-SW SDG obviously did not die after Winwood left, and turned out some fine music. And how can I forget Fire's phenomenal Who-like generational outburst "Father's Name Was Dad"? Never knew that Macca himself, in a (fortunately) rare lapse of musical taste and judgment, mucked things up for the song and the band by convincing them to incorporate his ideas for "improving" the song. Thanks also for Turquoise and so many others. Another superb vid, thank you YP!

[@total.stranger]

I bought the LP after reading about Wyman's participation in Rolling Stone. At the time, I considered Wyman to be - how do I put it - tangential to the whole world of successful pop song production - because he was "only a bass player". I was curious to listen to what he could do on his own. I thought the LP wasn't 'bad', but after four or five full listens, I never listened to it again. PS: I hold a lot of respect for Wyman, so my comment isn't meant to be 'negative'.

[@greatestytcommentator]

People were crying that the Beatles did a rock n roll song? LOL😅

[@paulgoldstein2569]

Yes, one of the best channels on KZbin, and another interesting video, again very well put together. But unfortunately, after a very busy 1967 it was around this time that the novelty of Psychedelia had temporarily worn off, as maybe the record buyers had got tired of it for a while and were favoring more commercial styles again, as the charts were by then filled with more commercial styles, with Psychedelia shut out of the charts for a while, except for an occasional one. It was at this time that we had that fifties Rock 'N' Roll revival boom, with reissues of fifties hits hitting the lower end of the charts, and even Bill Haley creating a storm again on the live circuit. As a result, The Beatles felt that to get another number one, they were going to have to abandon their Psychedelic influences and come out with something that was more straight forward. So they came out with Lady Madona. After that, Cliff Richard finally returned to the UK number one spot with his immortal sing-along evergreen, Congratulations. Everything just went quiet again for a while. I even picked up a KZbin video of Pete Townshend explaining that at the time, and saying there is just no youth culture anymore. So there was little chance of any Psychedelia charting then, no matter how good it sounded. It wasn't until much later in the year that it all picked up again, and by then, Psychedelia was evolving into Progressive Rock. But during the meanwhile, the charts were filled with more commercial styles with the likes of The Tremeloes and The Love Affair, plus disastrous five minute wonders like John Rowles and Esther & Abi Ofarim, not to mention that horrible bubblegum of The 1910 Fruit Gum Company. If there had been a second Monterey Pop Festival for 1968, it probably wouldn't have created the same effect or excitement. But here, I think the biggest cherry in the cake here was that single from The End which struck me as being a very unusual track. Two entirely different stereo mixes of it appeared on their CD From Beginning To End, making them sound almost like different versions. That CD contained their complete 1965-1968 recordings, many previously unissued. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqiudnuYjcSHZtU kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGKZp6aKp6etpac

What a fabulous month March of 1968 was in terms of music. I love both Nirvana's for different reasons and would argue that the 60's Nirvana's first THREE albums are essential with their 3rd album DEDICATED TO MARKOS III aka BLACK FLOWER being their best and most cohesive LP with such tracks as "Christopher Lucifer" "Love Suite" I believe it's called & "Black Flower" which has a face melting Jimmy Page-like guitar solo. Never knew about Fire's re-recording of "My Father's Name Was Dad" and Paul McCartney's involvement in it, you learn something new everyday or at least you learn something new with each of your videos 😊 Seems like the band LEMON TREE had a deep MOVE connection as they were named after one of their songs.

despite Penny's predictions, the single failed on the charts. What a kick in the teeth, your song is doing fine, and Paul McCartney shows up. That's Drugs, maybe the only mistake Paul made that affected other people, and a "Industry" that seems to think it could use a ever progressing and changing formula to write hit songs. You can see what they mean about the Critics over there as well.

[@paulgoldstein2569]

I forgot to mention the Nirvava track. I remember whenever they released a new single, Radio 1 which had replaced the pirate stations played them a few times each, and then you never heard them again. Rainbow Chaser got more airplay, and was their only single to chart at all, as it was their standout track. The best way to get it is on their compilation Rainbow Chaser - The Sixties Recordings, which contains their complete sixties tracks, including previously unissued alternate takes. But an alternative version of this track appears. But it is the previously released version without the overdubbed phasing in parts, and echo in other parts, and it lasts a bit longer at the end. But it is in mono. Yet it also appears in it's previously released format with the overdubbed effects in stereo, although the stereo separation isn't very wide. As you include a lot of B sides, you should have given a snippet of the B side of The Hollies' single here. Open Up Your Eyes which was by far superior to the A side here, Jennifer Eccles, which was one of their crappier efforts.
