It Was Forty Years Ago, Today!

Yes, kiddies, friends and music lovers everywhere, on June 1, 1967 the legendary Beatles album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band hit the stores, starting off what would become known as the Summer Of Love. That summer concluded with the Monterey Pop and Rock Festival in Monterey, California. In between (and before, actually), some of the more famous albums of the era were also released:

The Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour (I Am The Walrus, Hello Goodbye)
Buffalo Springfield: Buffalo Springfield Again (Bluebird, Mr. Soul)
Cream: Fresh Cream (Debut Album)
Creedence Clearwater Revival: Debut Album (Suzy Q)
Jefferson Airplane: Surrealistic Pillow (Somebody To Love, White Rabbit)
The Mamas and the Papas: Debut Album (California Dreamin', Monday Monday)
The Lovin' Spoonful: Hums (Summer in the City)
Jimi Hendrix: Are You Experienced (debut album)(Fire, Purple Haze, Foxy Lady)
Rolling Stones: Between the Buttons (Let's Spend The Night Together, Ruby Tuesday)
Rolling Stones: Their Satanic Majesties' Request
The Who: The Who Sell Out (I Can See For Miles, Mary-Anne With The Shaky Hands)

There were a bunch of others, and I'll try to put them in as I remember them.

New additions:
Country Joe and the Fish: Electric Music For The Mind And Body

I sent out an email at work this morning, saying that I was missing William Sheers, and to send him to the lab if anyone saw him.

My boss came around asking who was William?

I feel old today.

Where you fortunate enough to be there Steve?

To quote Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols

" I was only a nipper when the Beatles were going
But I was fu***ng glad when they broke up "

It was all before my time, but the scary thing is now I'm hearing the music I knew when I was younger on the greatest hits stations

I'm getting old!!!

kiwi_2005 · 06-01-07, 10:30 PM

I never get sick of listening to "Creedence Clearwater"

timeless

The Beatles.

Australian's had to wait until the end of July before they had the pleasure of listening to it.

And even then, it came in UK jackets until 1969.

(in case you didn't guess, I LOVE the Beatles)

Other 1967 albums of influence (of which all are in my CD collection)...

THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN... PINK FLOYD - AWESOME!
Tangerine Dream... Kaleidoscope - underrated UK psych
Highway 61 Revisited... Bob Dylan
Days of Future Passed... The Moody Blues
Psychedelic Sounds of... The 13th Floor Elevators
Velvet Underground and Nico
The Magic Box... The Loved Ones - great Aussie R&B/psych
Triangle... The Beau Brummels
Cheap Thrills... Big Brother and the Holding Company f/ Janis Joplin
Something Else... The Kinks
Alice's Restaurant... Arlo Guthrie - you can get anything you want...
Mr Fantasy... Traffic
Blowin' Your Mind... Van Morrison - that Brown Eyed Girl...
A Whiter Shade Of Pale... Procol Harum - one of my faves
Part One... West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band
Safe As Milk... Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - ummm, "unique" I guess, although not as unique as "Trout Mask Replica"
Bee Gees' 1st... The Bee Gees
Mellow Yellow... Donovan

The Doors - The Doors
Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding

Sailor Steve · 06-02-07, 11:02 AM

Thanks both of you! A lot of those I wouldn't remember, but how could I have forgotten The Doors debut album (I was actually thinking of it but it slipped out at the last moment) and the greatest of the great, Alice's Restaurant (the song that truly describes the '60s experience)? Days Of Future Passed was another one I was thinking of that got away.

Heibges, was John Wesley Harding really that early? I thought it came out later. Oh well, I truly am getting old.

But with these lists you can see that it really was the summer of love.

Oh, I think Strawberry Alarm Clock's Incense and Peppermints came out that year.

And another one I forgot: The Association: Windy (which includes the title song and "Never My Love".

Got their 1968 Greatest Hits collection. That's about as far as I can go with them.

Always been a White Album person

MadMike · 06-03-07, 01:36 AM

Man, you ARE old! Personally can't stand The Beatles (even though I was born in '62).
I'll take Steppenwolf, Hendrix, Zeppelin, The Doors, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Dio, Ozzy, Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Priest, Doobie Brothers, SRV, Rush, etc.

Worth of review-

Disco Demolition Night

Yours, Mike

I was just going to say, please don't forget The Doors! Then I saw someone else cover them.

Love the Beatles too. Sgt. Peppers is a great album.

That's interesting

Wonder if it's true? I was always kind of curious why Lucy was in the sky with diamonds.
