YP, this series on Cool British Singles has brought me wonderful memories of where I was and what I was doing at the time. I was a wee lass of 11 in ‘66, but the memories are vivid and warm. To partially quote the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, “…music is how we decorate time.” Oh, how mine has been decorated with such great music!

@@YesterdaysPapers …….Mick Ronson was phenomenal and the earlier Bowie albums are unquestionably my favourites. To be perfectly honest, after Mick left, I lost interest. Bowie was always innovative and inventive but I don’t think there’s much disputing, Ronno elevated the music. I didn’t see Bowie until the Glass Spider tour (mid-‘80’s) and even with Peter Frampton on lead-guitar, I found the concert underwhelming. It all felt unnecessarily “theatrical”. Apart from his solo output, Mick worked tirelessly behind the scenes collaborating with so many better-known artists but he never really received the kudos he deserved imo. To this day, Mick’s outro on Moonage Daydream gives me chills!

Another superb audio-visual doc back to that magical time. "Bunny Lake Is Missing," directed by veteran cinematic auteur Otto Preminger, is one of my favorite films from the '60s. Who knew that you could fold the venerable Laurence Olivier, not to mention a collection of extraordinary British character actors (Noël Coward, Martita Hunt, Finlay Currie, Lucie Mannheim) into an edge-of-the-seat missing-child mystery, all set in "Swinging London" at its peak in the mid-'60s, with songs specifically commissioned, written, and performed by one of London's most magnetically eccentric bands? And with two attractive young American actors (Carol Lynley and Keir Dullea, the latter soon to become most famous as Dave "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" Bowman in "2001: A Space Odyssey") rounding out the cast? The Zombies (who perform to this day in a latter-day lineup, with Blunstone and Argent gigging with a varying crew of supporting musicians) have always been one of the most underrated bands of the British invasion, and "Odessey [sic] and Oracle" has only in recent decades been recognized as the masterpiece it is. BTW, I assume your journey back to the next month, February 1966, will soon be in the works. I hope you mention the opening that month of the legendary King's Road shop Granny Takes A Trip. As much as the original Psychedelic Shop (which opened just after New Year's 1966) on Haight Street, San Francisco, GTAT was a harbinger of its time and of the promise that adult consciousness could be something other than humdrum workaday ambition punctuated by anxiety, fear, and hate. Thank you again for everything.

Thank you, Y.P.! interesting singles... David Bowie's single was surprisingly good, as he was very hit or miss in the day. The rampant graft and payola in the industry, as you can see from the story of his manager placing the single, was appalling. The Eyes "When the night comes" is nearly as strong a Mod record as The Who might be doing then. Very respectable presence. God, those drums! The Zombies, one of my favorite bands, great song "Just out of reach" should have been the "A" side, nothing against "Remember you", which is a terrific song. Just would have been more commercial. Their promo for "Bunny Lake is missing" is a funny snort and a half! Same with the Small Faces record. "Sha-la-lee" is a great sounding record, from a superb band, but a formula-ridden, crappy song. Much better flip side! Downliner's Sect? Great sounding band. But a sound on its way out, unfortunately. The Hellions were like like a lot of bands, then. They sounded professional enough, but nothing to distinguish them. Once Jim Capaldi and Dave Mason got up with Steve Winwood, however.. We all know that was magic in the making!

The Downliners released a single later this year written by Graham Gouldman I noticed you did not stick entirely to early Psychedelia here with then-new releases by Dusty Springfield who I adore, and Sandie Shaw who I'm afraid I was no fan of, although I did like three of her previous singles, Girl Don't Come, Long Live Love, and Message Understood, but hated Puppet On A String. The single you included by The Revolution was their soulless UK version of a song originally recorded in the States by The Invitations, who also recorded the original of Skiing In The Snow. But the B side of this Revolution single Shades Of Blue, they originally released on the B side of one of their earlier singles as The Hellion. Virtually all of these were obvious to me. But it was good to hear snippets of them. Another of your great videos, thanks.

"When The Night Falls" (The Eyes) has remained with me for decades. Talk about "raw" and "edgy" sound! Likewise, for "I'm Rowed Out" (again The Eyes). It's great to know that The Who and The Kinks had an influence on other artists at the time. It was great to see The Small Faces and The Zombies in this video, as well. The mention of Sandy Shaw and Dusty Springfield was a nice touch. Many thanks, Yesterday's Papers.

I assume February will feature then-new singles by The Yardbirds, The Mark 1V, The Rolling Stones, and maybe Petula Clark who had by then re-invented herself as a mid sixties Pop Star. But we musn't forget that Graham Gouldman single that The Hollies almost plagiarized.

I haven’t heard that Sandie Shaw song for about … 60 years 😳

It's unusual to see a year-date on a label expressed as "Recording First Published...." as late as 1966 (4:39) when EMI stopped using that method of year-date expression in 1964 and PYE a year later. I'd imagine CBS and Decca ceased using "Recording First Published...." about the same time as EMI.

In Ivor Raymonde's surname, the 'e' on the end is *not* silent and takes an 'ay' sound (8:10)
