One of the great things about these Blind Dates is that they call your attention to some obscure records from the period. I'd never even heard of The Orange Bicycle much less heard that track, but I quite like it. Some of the chord voicings in the vocal harmonies remind me a bit of I Can See For Miles by The Who.
The Orange Bycicle released a very good psychedelic album. Well worth checking out. Some of their songs have been featured on several compilations of British psychedelia from the 60s. They were a cool band.
Dave seems amazingly astute. From the 60's on the rock media has portrayed him as some kind of fun loving airhead. Here, he sounds just as intelligent as Ray.
.....he always WAS.....listening to his first three solo albums from 1980-1983, HAVE to wonder of the BAND's long-term fortunes MIGHT'VE been different had Ray let him in on THEIR three - which I view as, 'Kinks By NUMBERS' - without QUESTION, Dave's "Living On A Thin Line" is the BEST from them.....
I love the first half dozen Dave reviewed mostly classics now. I feel Dave had the pick of the crop compared to the others I've watched on Yesterdays Papers.
Cool to see See Emily Play and Piper charting so high in late ‘67. My man Syd at his commercial peak! And sharing chart space with Brian Wilson’s Heroes and Villians too! Super cool! But sad that 2 of my favorites, B Wilson and Syd, would not continue on this path for similar reasons.
Carol King wrote 'Pleasant Valley Sunday'. Her demo for the song is on RUclips. It's fantastic. It doesn't have the cool guitar riff in the Monkees version but I highly recommend giving it a listen. Great song.
It's funny that was supposed to be the album where they broke away and became their own band playing and writing their own material when the Carol King song was their big hit off the disc...
@@harrylazard805 It is funny. The nerve of those guys. They were delusional. They had fame and fortune handed to them on a silver platter and it wasn't enough. Suddenly they think they could be hit making songwriters and everyone would now respect them when in reality, they couldn't write a good song to save their lives. Their producer offered them 'Sugar Sugar' They turned it down. He was so fed up with them he created an even more fictitious band in The Archie's. This time the band was a cartoon!!! That song was the best selling single in the US for 1969. The Monkees got exactly what they deserved.
Pretty much a decent collection of singles for Dave to review apart from one or two. The Stones stand out and I've always liked Pleasant Valley Sunday, the Monkees best 45 I think. As for Dave himself, Death of a Clown is a masterpiece.
This month shows well the massive impact that Sgt Pepper had. Wow, such a list! Even the minor songs are much better than the same month a year earlier. Oh, to re-live that summer again! PS, thanks for fixing the pronunciation of the Davies brothers' family name!
I enjoy these look back record reviews .. It'd be interesting to have Dave revisit and review the singles of August, 1967 .. to see if his perspective has changed .. a bit
Yeah, both great songs, Dave got it wrong here. Same applies for Jimi's Burning Of The Midnight Lamp. Be interesting to know how he'd rate these songs today.
@@ForARide I think Eric Burdon was sued by Mark seven productions for using the dragnet theme without their permission, that few notes at the beginning of the song
I like how he critiques the Stones and Beatles. Funny what he said about Eric Burdon and with Motown, he nailed it for 1967. In the charts, I saw the Beatles, Monkees, Beach Boys, and Rolling Stones. Doesn't get any better than that.
Interesting series this. The best musicians always have the most insightful and on-target comments regarding writing, production and whether or not the song will be a "hit."
Interesting that he picked up on McCartney’s voice in We Love You. Don’t know if it was by mistake or he truly heard his voice, but Paul and John did contribute backing vocals to that song.
Enormes sencillos en este años 67. Entre los mejores sencillos de la historia. - Auntum Almanac/Mr Pleasant (The Kinks) - Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever (The Beatles) - We Love You/Dandelion (The Rolling Stones)
I love ''THE KINKS'' and love hearing their opinions. Just want to say that The Rolling Stones's song, ''We Love You'', it's not even close “All You Need Is Love.” Thanks, Yesterday's Papers.👍😊
He was correct in detecting The Beatles on “We Love You” since Lennon and McCartney provided backing vocals. (Jagger and Richards, of course, sang on the chorus of “All You Need Is Love”.)
@@steveconn Bland? Musically it is a masterpiece, modern and unconventional (for the time) yet catchy as hell. We Love you is a droning, repetitive song made interesting by Brian Jones' instrumentation (and some backing vocals by a couple of guys). And kind of a rip off thematically, back then the Stones were still aping the Beatles two months later. And I like the song and the Stones, but let's not kid ourselves, the Rolling Stones are not in the same class, music-wise or power-wise, never were, as somebody pointed out. And what's your point, in 1967 the Stones weren't rich, or stoned, for crying out loud? ahahaha
@@steveconn I don't think there has ever been another song with the time signatures of AYNIL. As George H said it drops a beat where you don't expect it.........
@@SuperNevile Do not waste your with this guy. He is obsessed with The Beatles and you will find him crawling and trolling all over anything relating to them. He has been doing it for years now, which tells you all you need to know. What a shame that, at the time of writing, there are no shops selling lives, then he could save up and get one. I am not a big fan of ABBA, but you will never find me screaming 'Listen to me! Listen to me!' at their fans, or even trying to get a reaction from them in a futile attempt to give my life meaning.
@@elvisleeboy Thanks. I'm already having a discussion with him about Nicky Hopkin's riff on "We Love You". He thinks it's "elementary"....LOL......(Should have noticed his surname!!!)
A particularly good selection here, quite a few bona fide classics -- even some excellent B-sides. It's funny how Dave didn't think much of 'Pleasant Valley Sunday' because I've always considered that song to be very Kinks in terms of its subject matter -- life in suburbia... quite observational... a little cynical at times. Echoes of Ray Davies from across the pond there. One of my favourite Monkees songs actually. But he is right, the guitar figure is very 'Last Train to Clarksville'.
That song does have a Kinks vibe, I agree. It's a cool tune. My favourite Monkees' song is probably "Porpoise Song", a psychedelic masterpiece as far as I'm concerned.
@@YesterdaysPapers I love the line in 'Pleasant Valley Sunday' -- "The local rock group down the street is trying hard to learn their song". It encapsulates the whole US garage rock thing right there. But 'Porpoise Song' -- now you're talking! What a sublime, majestic, stately piece of pop music. My favourite Monkees tune as well, hands down!
@@NewFalconerRecords Wow, the Kinks similarity with Pleasant Valley Sunday... this is probably why I've always liked this song even though I've never been a huge Monkees fan.... I'd never thought about it. The follow up line to "the local rock group down the street is trying hard to learn their song" is "\They entertain the weekend squire who's just come out to mow his lawn". That's pure Raymond Douglas Davies. 🎼
Even though they gave Ray mostly duds to review, look at all that marvelous music released back then in one year and compare it to the music being released today. No comparison.
They gave Dave some fairly decent songs to cover; only a few duds. But he didn't have to worry about Eric Burdon - I'm fairly certain Eric was never too far from his Newcastle :)
Davies had quite a good week of single releases to review. He got "Pleasant Valley Sunday" sung by The Monkees quite wrong as it sounds nothing like The Beatles. Also, the song has lived on and been covered by many bands since and still gets played today, even on shows like Family Guy.
Dave did have a good assortment bag of classics there, however I do understand what Dave means regarding The Monkees "Pleasant Valley Sunday" sounding like The Beatles or maybe Beatlesque.. In my opinion the "Pleasant Valley Sunday" style does sound like the "Rubber Soul/Revolver" period of The Beatles if The Beatles had continued in that vein in 1967.. I believe that "Paperback Writer" is a perfect example of that style from 1966 Revolver period..
Oh, wow! Family Guy?! "Pleasant Valley Sunday sounds EXACTLY like 65-66 Beatles. Funnily enough, lyrically it owes a great deal to the Kinks, and their satires of contemporary middle class life. Down to the title , The Kinks were soon to release the single, "Mr. Pleasant" - which also mocks status symbols like TV sets, et alia.
OMG OMG he literally said that The Hollies (Graham Nash - era) were the commercial (Syd Barrett - era) Pink Floyd. asdfghjkl Dave, seriously marry me, you're my lost twin soul xddd
Surprised they didn't give Dave Davies the Monkees' single, "Alternate Title" (aka 'Randy Scouse Git') to review, which was on the charts according to the end of this video. I like "Pleasant Valley Sunday" a lot, but "Randy Scouse Git" is such a great song, and was written by Micky Dolenz after a night of hanging out with the Beatles.
It makes sense that they thought that, though. Music was changing and evolving at lightning speed back then while Motown seemed to stick to a formula. It wasn't until the very late 60s that Motown decided to evolve and change things a bit.
Intresting comments hear Sounds Intresting to hear what these famous rock stars celebrities favorite top 30 singles are two hours in which famous music 🎶 celebrities play there favourite melodies yippee
Their Satanic Majesties is a fine, underappreciated album. Some great 45's in there. These are the sounds from my first year in Junior School and Mrs. Simpsons class. I remember 'the little girls' bringing Engleberts LP to school on the last day of summer term.
Dave got to hear a few decent songs, to begin with, then it sort of went south on the selections. Can't find myself agreeing with his take on 'Pleasant Valley Sunday', though. To me, it's best of all The Monkees songs. He was generally pretty fair, though. Picked up on the Beatles' influence right off the bat. Most bands were playing follow the leader regarding the Fab Four, in those days.
Because in the UK they was two separate singles “Good Times” was released as single on the 18th of August with “Ain’t That So” as the B-Side. And “San Franciscan Nights” was released as a single on the 13th of October with “Gratefully Dead” as the B-Side.
A strictly subjective opinion, but after listening to Dusty'd review of April '66, I must say that Dave got much better songs. Or more songs that I bought back in the 60s.
I only saw five great songs in the top 30. It makes me wonder what week had the greatest number of great songs in the top 30. The American top 10 was much better.
Why did they play 'Good Times' (the B-side?) instead of 'San Franciscan Nights' by Eric Burdon and the Animals? 'San Franciscan Nights' (while being an obvious cash-in) was a pretty appealing song, I thought. In regards to 'Burning of the Midnight Lamp', it's a great song but it probably wouldn't have sounded like an obvious pop hit to anyone on first listen. But I like how Dave seems to have something vaguely positive to say about just about every record. Though this was a remarkably good quality bunch. August 1967? Probably not surprising really.

Imagine this dynamic with nowadays artists/singles. It would be full of hypocrit diplomatic opinions made in order to not offend anyone. (Sorry for my bad english... not sorry, really).
Dave was right on recognizing the Beatles on that first track. It features Lennon and McCartney
As does Dandelion.

True.
One of the great things about these Blind Dates is that they call your attention to some obscure records from the period.

Agreed. There were some pretty good ones up front!
I was 14 in 67, june, july 67 had really good music. Dave was lucky to get one of those months
I was ten years old! What a golden time to be a child- I remember most of these songs like it was yesterday...
Completely agree. I was 8 and remember these songs vividly. A wonderful time for music and just to be alive.
We Love You is an overlooked Stones gem. One of the few good things to come out of their psychedelic era.

"Is it Kosher? I don't know what they are trying to prove" Dave's sense of humor is amazing

As for Dave himself, Death of a Clown is a masterpiece.
I agree, "Death of a Clown" is brilliant. 60s pop at its best.
"Love Me Till the Sun Shines" is another cool song of his from the "Something Else" album
Pleasant Valley Sunday is a good tune, I agree!
“Don’t go out into the rain” was actually a top 20 hit for Herman’s Hermits in the USA at the end of 1967
"The weather's miserable and you're so kissable." Yeah, we kids in America ate that up....lol

with the exception maybe of Viv Stanshall
@@FenceThis oh yeah, right!
Now he was on the money! Very good review.
He was partially right that it was Paul McCartney singing on “we love you”. John Lennon and Paul McCartney sing background vocals on the song

qué anticipación de Dave porque años más tarde Stevie Wonder revolucionó el sonido Motown
This may sound like a stupid question, but did all these musical artists...from Hendrix to Davies actually review songs in the sixties?
Did that Gibson Flying V Dave was playing eventually end up in the hands of the late great James Honeyman Scott of The Pretenders?
Does anyone know the name of the instrumental music at the end of this video?
Why is he reviewing the B side" Good Times" instead of "San Franciscan Nights" which is obviously the A side?
Yes, that was weird. Maybe "Good Times" was promoted as the A side in Britain.
Because in the UK they was two separate singles “Good Times” was released as single on the 18th of August with “Ain’t That So” as the B-Side. And “San Franciscan Nights” was released as a single on the 13th of October with “Gratefully Dead” as the B-Side.

What? Nothing by Slim Whitman?
Davies brothers seem to mention The Beatles a lot.
Also, why the hell is Burning of the midnight lamp a bad song?
BotML is a brilliant song
The best mention being Sir Ray's legendary demolition of " Revolver "
must be the rather unusual sound of Midnight Lamp... it takes a few listens to really dig it for some listeners, I guess
I think Midnight Lamp is one of the worst songs Hendrix ever recorded.

In regards to 'Burning of the Midnight Lamp', it's a great song but it probably wouldn't have sounded like an obvious pop hit to anyone on first listen. But I like how Dave seems to have something vaguely positive to say about just about every record. Though this was a remarkably good quality bunch. August 1967? Probably not surprising really.
Because in the UK they was two separate singles “Good Times” was released as single on the 18th of August with “Ain’t That So” as the B-Side. And “San Franciscan Nights” was released as a single on the 13th of October with “Gratefully Dead” as the B-Side.
When did Ode To Billy Joe come out?
How can you not know Marvin Gaye when you hear him?
'John's Children' should've been in that chart..... Although 'lifting up skirts' was not up to regular BBC standards , as J.Saville would concur .
Name of the song in the end?
Love Dave but We Love You is BETTER than All You Need Is Love? Aghhhh!!!!
Better than average charts...one of the best looking charts up until that point. not so much riff raff.
wat is the last unreviewed rack?lovely
Burning of the Midnight Lamp is a great song. His review for it seemed all over the place. Horrible. Original. Instant hit. Lol
Dave couldn't make up his mind about Jimi's masterpiece,,, LOL
Imagine this dynamic with nowadays artists/singles. It would be full of hypocrit diplomatic opinions made in order to not offend anyone.
(Sorry for my bad english... not sorry, really).
Thought Helen Shapiro was Scott McKenzie. That oughta help her ego.
lol
Scott-Shapiro .."If you're Going to to Golders Green buy Some Bagels in your Deli"
Her version of She Needs Company is horrible. The Manfred Mann version with Paul Jones (and Jack Bruce playing bass) is a lot better.
Useless trivia...Burdon's "Good Times"made it into the UK Top 20 singles and Ozzy did acover on his Under Covers cd.
Does anyone remember the Neil (Nigel Planer) version of "Hole In My Shoe?"
Unfortunately yes.
