The moment I saw this video title, Andrew, I knew it wouldn't be complete without Odessey And Oracle and you didn't disappoint. Though ignored at the time of its release, it's finally become recognised for the grand work that it is. I was fortunate to catch the original Zombies, reunited to promote the album's 50th anniversary tour. Even better, I had a wonderful meeting with Chris White and Hugh Grundy and they were delightful in their easy going, next door neighbour, friendliness. We talked music, of course, with me admitting my favourite part of any group is the rhythm section and how critical bass and drums are to a band's sound and appeal. Watching the original band play the album's entirety was one of the thrills of my lifetime.

"The Who Sell Out" is one of my favorites as well. Certainly, the Who's intent was to recreate a "pirate radio" broadcast (as heard by UK listeners), but it was also reminiscent of "Top 40" AM US radio stations at the time, down to the between-song jingles (rumor is that Dallas, TX studio PAMS [Production Advertising Merchandising Service] made some of the jingles heard on the album). One could only wonder what would have happened if the Who had considered covering Terry Lea Jenkins' "My Hometown".

My Dad was a Shads fan & my Mum was a Cliff fan so I grew up with their music in the early 60s. Shadows Greatest Hits is an outstanding album. I ‘discovered’ The Beatles at Xmas ‘64. I Feel Fine was everywhere on the radio. I was too young to have money to buy records until the late 60s / early 70s. Like many 2nd generation Beatles fans it was 50 years ago this month that my Beatles journey really began with the Red & Blue albums. I know compilations aren’t for everyone but I loved the 20 Golden Greats in the 70s. These albums featuring The Beach Boys, The Hollies etc were my initial introduction to these great artists. I like to think that I’ve got a wide musical taste so I’m not too surprised that I’ve got 8/10 of the albums featured in your great video. I really must buy albums by Nick Drake & Billie Davis. Tell Him was a single I remember hearing eons ago. I seem to remember reading that the car crash stalled the careers of Billie Davis & Jet Harris.

Hi Andrew. Long time viewer, first time commenter. First up, thank you so much for your channel. I'm 38 and the Beatles have always been a part of my musical journey, though I didn't really deep dive or deep listen to the band until after the Get Back documentary series. Now, I'm a full on Beatles fanboy. Beatles cover my walls at home, my desk at work. I'm traveling from California (where I live) to Liverpool in late August to attend International Beatles Week. And after losing my Beatles vinyl box set recently, I'm slowly trying to build my vinyl collection back up. (So happy I still have the 2021 8 disc George Harrison All Things Must Pass Super Deluxe Box Set.) I really appreciate all the amazing information you share about the band's recording process (and equipment), the deep dives into the best sound vinyl records and all the amazing trivia and tidbits I've learned through your enthusiasm. You've helped to deepen my enthusiasm for the band and vinyl records and your videos have brightened many days. I wanted to thank you specifically for this video, pointing us to some amazing 60's music. My enthusiasm for the period is boundless, but my knowledge is still somewhat limited. Thanks to you, I've been listening to The Zombies Odessy and Oracle on repeat since this video. I'm also so happy to have discovered Billie Davies through you. Her voice is incredible, sort of a UK Dolly Parton set to Petula Clark orchestrations. Billie's "Nights in White Satin" was so hypnotic, completely breathed new life into that song for me. Please keep up the good work. If you felt compelled to create another list of great non-Beatles records for the period, I would love to discover more gems.

Although it's a little past the 60's, I really love the period where Alex Ligertwood was singing with Brian Auger's band. I got to see that version of the band live at First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN in 74 or 75 and it was a memorable show. They were performing a lot of material from the Second Wind and Befour albums. I would love to see your "10 great AMERICAN Albums of the 1960's list", not out of American chauvinism but because the countries have always been producing such different sounds from each other.

Here in the U.S. the British stuff was huge! I came from a large family where in the mid sixties my teenage siblings were buying lots of records, mostly 45's. But we had albums such as "Introducing...The Beatles" and "Meet The Beatles," along with the "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" album by Gerry and The Pacemakers. But what really hooked me was when my oldest sister bought "The Kinks Greatest Hits!" The cover art, the rough sounding music and Ray Davies' vocals combined into an extremely powerful package for this 3 year old! They remained tops on my list until 1981 when I bought a Canadian pressing of "The Village Green Preservation Society" on the green and red PRT label. That sealed it! I'm 60 now, and they're still tops in my book! I was blown away at the radical change from 5th chords to full, undistorted, beautiful chord progressions...and THE LYRICS! Oh! Sheer heaven for me! I bought up everything I could from them very quickly! What was available in this country during the early to mid eighties came from a hodgepodge of sources. "Face to Face" was only available in stores in my part of the world as a Spanish import on the green and red PRT label. "Something Else" could be found here issued domestically by Reprise, and also as a Spanish PRT import. I eventually replaced my import version for a Reprise copy and allowed my younger brother to inherit the import. I did the same thing with "Village Green," keeping the Reprise version, and did the reverse for "Arthur." My brother has my old Reprise version while I kept the Spanish copy from the "Anos Dorados" ("Golden Years") series. I think that particular pressing sounds great, as does their first album from that same series! The Hollies are also a particular favorite! I have the 3-CD Anthology box set from the '90s, and I still love it! Prior to buying that set, all I had since the mid seventies was a ten track, horrible sounding pressing of "The Very Best of The Hollies" on United Artists. That made the 3-CD set indispensable! I also loved The Yardbirds, particularly the Jeff Beck period! The Clapton and Beck periods, along with CCR, The Ventures, The Beatles and some Kinks are what my younger brother and I cut our teeth on when teaching ourselves the guitar in the late seventies and early eighties. The Small Faces are another '60s British band I've always really dug! "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" in particular. I liked The Nice a lot too, especially prior to O'List's exit. Aside from British albums, I also like some Dutch albums from the '60s. Golden Earring's "Miracle Mirror" is one of my all-time favorite '60s albums, as are "Revolution" from Q65, and "Appleknocker's Flophouse" from Cuby+Blizzards! And, by the way...the name's Roast, Chuck Roast!

Lots of great artists on that list. Thanks for the video. I'd say my favourite non-Beatles related UK albums from the 1960's would be Led Zeppelin self-titled debut album, Pink Floyd's The Piper At the Gates of Dawn and The Who's Tommy. If also your cup of tea, I'd appreciate if you could cover some of Led Zeppelin material on a future video.

Saw Clark when she toured a few years ago (before Pandemic)....she put on a GREAT show. Her voice sounded good and loved all the stuff she did in her live show (incuding some Beatles songs too - she was at the Bed-in I believe too). I would recommend seeing her!

Thanks Andrew. Its always interesting to see other peoples faves, and how anything pre-Beatles is just swept aside! The Shadows were huge, and of course in so many ways no Shadows, (potentially) no Clapton etc! I recently read on here "...The Kinks.. so underrated..." someone explained to me that for young music fans now if its not on TikTok it doesnt exist. But IF it appears on TikTok and its old, the kids act like they just discovered an unheard Mozart piece lol stretching the 60s a bit with Billie Davis ;-) .....Sell Out is so perfect. In the days before wall-to-wall nostalgia, I remember Mojo mag trumpeting Odyssey and Oracle as a great lost album way back in the mid 90s when there was a reissue. Such a great band, and their first album Being Here is utterly magic too really good pop, with Rod and Colin still out there! I wonder how this list would have looked if you'd done this list 30 years ago. I doubt Nick Drake would be in there, or Zombies. Scott 3 for me.

I'm so glad the Zombies got a mention here; they're a criminally overlooked group that made two incredible studio albums, a few fantastic singles and a great compilation album in the 90s. They deserved so much more than they received. Another artist you teased in the intro (and the Who segment) who was robbed of the success they deserved was the Small Faces. You showed Ogden's but they made several great psychedelic rock albums. Their final album released after splitting was the Autumn Stone, which had absolutely incredible live performances from Newcastle in 1969. Afterglow is a perfect send-off to one of the greatest bands of all time.

Thank you for a cozy time! I really enjoyed your video. A lot of good, informative stuff and good ideas for listening. I thought I knew every 60's record worth a listening. But actually there are among those you are talking about in the video, that I didn't knew, but definitely must check out. Especially that Brian Auger/Julie Driscoll-album. You mentioned those tree great Hollies-albums. And yes - they are great! I think the two that went before, "Hollies" (1965) and ""Would You Believe" (1966), are great two. Especially "Would You Believe" with tracks such as "Oriental Sadness" and "Fifi The Flea". Being a fan of The Who of course I appreciate your mentioning of "Sell Out". For me their 60's output got the first and last on the top. The raw energy on "My Generation" (1965) and the spiritual search of "Tommy" (1969). As different as those two are, I really love both of them, and would not be able to chose a definite favorite. By the way - I like that you are taking the albums in cronological order instead of making a ranking list. It is offen a quite one dimensional way to look at music. Im sure every music fan could find two albums and say: "Well, in one way I like this better than the other, but in another way I prefer the other." The Kinks made a lot of great stuff back then. I guess my favorite is "Village Green Preservation Society" (1968). You're talking about the great Nick Drake. And I agree he was pure magic. But there were some other quite outstanding acoustic guitarists around back then. Such as Bert Janch, and a personal favorite of mine: Davey Graham. His "Folk, Blues and Beyond"-album (1965), is in my opinion one of the best acoustic albums ever made. Here's a list of some of my other (non-Beatles) favorite british 60's albums: "The Five Faces Of Manfred Mann" (1964), "The Sound Of '65" (Graham Bond Organisation, 1965), "Animal Track" (The Animals, 1965), "What's Bin Hid and What's bin did" (Donovan, 1965), "The Magnificent Moodies" (Moody Blues, 1965), "Them Again" (Them, 1966), "Aftermath" (Rolling Stones, 1966), "Roger The Engineer" (Yardbirds, 1966), "Come The day" (The Seekers, 1966), "A Hard old" (John Mayall, 1967), "Piper At he gates Of Dawn" )Pink Floyd, 1967), "Disraely Gears" (Cream, 1967), "Ogdens Nut Gone Flake"(Small Faces, 1968), "Truth" (Jeff beck,1968), "The Book Of Taliesyn" (Deep Purple, 1968), "This Was" (Jethro Tull, 1968). I've chose to only mention one album pr. artist/band. But with many of the names above, I like other albums by them too. But is it that important if they are british? There were grat music made at the same time in other places. In the US of course with Dylan, Beach Boys and all the Bay Area bands. I also like the garage bands. Especially The Sonics. And over in Boston there was The Beacon Street Union. Their debut album "The Eyes Of .." from 1968, is one of my favorite albums. But in my opinion in France Francoise Hardy made some great stuff too. Being from Denmark of course there are some danish 60's music I like very much. Speaking of which: please excuse grammatical errors. English is not my main language. Thanks again for a great video! - I'm looking forward to watch more from your channel. 🙂

I enjoyed this. Hadn't heard of some of these artists. Have the Petula and Dusty albums you mentioned. Also one by Sandie Shaw. I had heard of the Walker Bros. and even had their single "The Sun Doesn't Shine Anymore." I bought the first Scott album in 1969 because he covered some Jacque Brel songs. Became enthralled by his voice and loved the other songs, especially Montague Terrace and When Joanna Loved Me. I saw a documentary on him some time ago. I'm afraid I couldn't follow him when he strayed into the avant garde.

I passed my 11+ in 1963, and my mum allowed me to have 2 lps from Littlewoods Catalogue. I picked 2 Shadows albums as they were the in thing. Unfortunately one was out of stock so I picked the Beatles lp as an alternative because I liked the picture sleeve. Sixty years later I've still got them, both played to death. A feature on the Shadows 60s albums like you did with the Hollies would be very interesting.

The vinyl has an unmarked high glossy shine and a very clean, unstained original EMI 1960's inner sleeve. It's a true survivor that sounds fantastic with that EMI early stereo sound.

I remember reading in Al Kooper's book ("Backstage Passes And Backstabbing Bastards") how he brought the British pressing of The Zombie's "Odyssey And Oracle" to Clive Davis who was head of A&R at Columbia and urged him to take an option on it. Davis said "We already own this album. We're thinking of signing off on it." Al Kooper said "Clive, I think that would be a mistake. There are at least three hit singles on this record." Clive Davis agreed to release it, but he had it issued on the budget Date label so that he wouldn't have to pay the group top dollar royalties had it been issued on Columbia or Epic.

So happy to see the Zombies on your list. I "discovered" the Zombies Odyssey And Oracle during the 30th Anniversary of its release in 1998 on CD. The cd was incredible containing the album in stereo and mono plus unreleased mixes and an outtake, 78 plus minutes of bliss. I would always make my way to the Import section at Tower Records in Monterey Park, CA and spend hours looking at the covers and this one stood out. I purchased it and I've never looked back. Saw the Zombies live two times and the last time was them performing the album in its entirety with all surviving band members. Really beautiful experience. I put up some clips on my channel. Great video!

I got For Certain Because as a christmas present in 1966 when I was 12. I was so incredibly proud of it and when we had visitors over I showed it to them explaining who the members were. It was my first ever LP and I still got it. The Hollies were huge here in Sweden and they had some songs that were hits only here, like Very Last Day. In 1993 EMI released a CD called The Hollies: Swedish Hits And More but it's quite expensive now.

Great choices all! Kudos on Paul & Barry Ryan who have been overlooked for far too long. I love their first Decca LP, where their select cover versions best the Hollies, Yardbirds and Pretty Things at every turn and that's a pretty bold statement but I've found plenty of agreement. Sadly their '68 MGM album seems rare as hen's teeth and has eluded me for decades. Also hooray for the Billie Davis LP, really solid. ❤️
