Philamore Lincoln's one 1970 album on Epic is chock full of trippy, dreamy music. The title track features a bagpipes solo! youtu.be/eu98paCogEI?...

Peter Green's singing and playing are both gorgeous on Need Your Love So Bad, from the Spring of 1968. This clip is from a BBC appearance. The strings add just the right touch of psychedelia to this old blues chestnut. youtu.be/RtmW2ek7WkQ?...

A very trippy B Side from the Amazing Friendly Apple. Magician has two distinct halves, the first part tells the tale of a Tolkien type character, while the second features a long mellotron and sax workout. This was their only 45. youtu.be/BLsZZQzN-m8?...

By 1966, Van Morrison's writing was taking a more observant tack. Mighty Like A Rose seems to have been recorded in the Spring of 1966, a song about a free spirited young woman. It is one of the last things Van recorded with the band before going solo. youtu.be/e6mGc3B-NbE?...

A couple of years prior to I Fought The Law, Bobby Fuller was doing surf music. Our Favorite Martian was a tip of the cap to the TV show My Favorite Martian, and it features some top notch guitar work. youtu.be/axKht36eReY?...

The Syn were a Mod/Psych band. Chris Squire, later of Yes, was a member. Despite being popular in the London clubs, none of their 45s took off, which is a shame as they were all rather good. Grounded is from the Spring of 1967. youtu.be/lXDUz_wJo70?...

A music room, circa 1961. Neat design, this would be fun for parties.

A mild flirtation with psychedelia, The Everly Brothers recorded Your Just What I Was Looking For Today as a possible single in 1967. Phil really liked it, but Warners consigned it to the vaults for 30 years. It eventually appeared on several compilations in the 1990s. youtu.be/tZdYMQh-n0k?...

The Four Pennies tended to do ballads, their biggest success being Juliet, a UK #1 in 1964. Towards the end of the group's career, they picked the tempo up a bit. Trouble Is My Middle Name is probably their best 45 and was a minor hit in 1966. #beat youtu.be/Ti7VmvqhSsY?...

Long before Andy Summers became a star with The Police, he was Zoot Money's right hand man. Big Time Operator was Zoot's one real hit single, from the fall of 1966. Very much in the Georgie Fame/Flamingo club style of jazzy R 'n B. youtu.be/U1Mik9b2nUw?...

By 1967, Phil Ochs was looking to broaden his audience. He moved from Elcectra to A&M, and Tape From California is both one of his most melodic and literate compositions. Despite good reviews, the album failed to sell in a big way. youtu.be/Eiy89mcijwA?...

This is the 45 where The Mindbenders came to an end and the beginnings of 10cc can be heard. Graham Gouldman, having recently joined the group, wrote Uncle Joe The Ice Cream Man in the Spring of 1968. John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin scored the string quartet. youtu.be/bmmR7sNe0rA?...

Shawn Phillips was an American folkie who headed to the UK in 1964. He met Donovan, and also began a serious study of the sitar. His Stargazer made a brilliant single, but it was a shade too daring and failed to sell in a big way. youtu.be/I4w5y8E7vvs?...

The Motions were one of the many Dutch groups that came up circa 1965. Aligning themselves firmly on the Mod end of the spectrum, For Another Man did well in The Netherlands. Written by group member Robby Van Leewun, who was later in Shocking Blue. youtu.be/2QLh-WDgcrw?...

One of the first of the San Francisco bands, The Mojo Men had two distinct phases. The first, from which She's My Baby dates (1965), had them sounding like The Pretty Things. They later shifted to close harmonies after Jan Errico joined in 1966. youtu.be/d7A_gzW6foY?...

Version 2a of the Mann Band, which briefly included Jack Bruce and a couple of trumpet players. Jack's bass is what makes this very jazzy version of My Generation work. But soon, Eric Clapton would come looking for a bassist...From early 1966. #beat youtu.be/9kCeIz9c7VI?...

This is really The Belfast Gypsies (a late offshoot of the Them family tree) under a fake name. The McAuley Brothers, Pat and Jackie, had been in Them during the early days, and Pat could do a dead on Van Morrison impersonation. From late 1966. #beat youtu.be/-ub5kJtsM-0?...

With The Yardbirds at the peak of their career, Keith Relf began releasing solo material. Two 45s came out in 1966, Shapes In My Mind being the second. This song has all manner of mood shifts, a striking bass line, and a deep aura of loss. Canadian issue pictured. youtu.be/OFwjnA_QBHI?...

Smokey Day (1968) was recorded when The Zombies were morphing into Argent. A very jazzy piece, it features a lovey flute part played by ex-Manfred Mann multi instrumentalist Mike Vickers. This later came out on the Time Of The Zombies compilation in the early 70s. youtu.be/_rqQ5IaFJm0?...
