The summer of peace, love and psychedelia

A quick trawl through the iPod brings up


The Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground

John Wesley Harding - Bob Dylan

Buffalo Springfield - Again

Reach Out - The Four Tops

I Never Loved a man the way I love you - Aretha Franklin

And the classic LP and inspiration for South London's finest ever fanzine - Safe As Milk - Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band.

I think the Beatles had a new LP that year but it's not on my Ipod.

    One post which, IMO, encapsulates 4 of the best albums ever made. I've got them all, and the 5th ain't half bad, either.

    Kaleidoscope - Tangerine Dream

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangerine_Dream_(album)

    For me easily amongst the best British psychedelic LPs of the era, local connections as well (the guitarist/lyricist was from Woolwich). They later became Fairfield Parlour before splitting in the early 70s. The main guy, Peter Daltrey is still going & has recently been performing Kaleidoscope concerts - there are some upcoming in London. I caught his show in Austin a couple of years ago & it was magical.

    Anyway I love this LP - its an absolute belter.

    Fixed the link - it was taking you to Tangerine Dream the band , not the LP I was referring to by Kaleidoscope. Note you should be looking at the British Kaleidoscope, not the more famous American band of the same era.

    Which neatly reminds me of another brilliant 1967 LP, by a British band with a familiar name

    Gotta challenge Magical Mystery Tour on a technicality, Ken ;-)
    It was released in the UK as an EP .
    The album, including the singles you mention was another Stateside hotch potch

    Something Else - The Kinks (Probably my favourite album by anyone ever)

    Sgt. Pepper - The Beatles (Staggering in it's breadth and cultural impact. My 20 something kids are completely "meh" about it and viewed now, it is probably both quaint and dated. Maybe you had to be around to appreciate it's majesty. I still hear it as I did then)

    Their Satanic Majesties - The Stones. Haha, how the Stones struggled to hold on to the Beatles coat tails with their 60's albums. But it's got a lot of gothic charm this one and next up was Beggars Banquet and the start of their ascendancy to "The Greatest Rock'n'Roll band in the World"

    Smiley Smile - The Beach Boys - In the absence of the real thing, this drugged-up substitute will do

    Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones - The Monkees. Well, hell, I was only 14 I'm allowed the odd teenybop confection :-)
