Classic Rock Bottom

ROCKOLLECTIONS: 1967 AND THE SUMMER OF LOVE PT.7

I will continue our celebration of a year, 1967, as we go back in time with the help of Mr. Fantasy.
Two title tracks from 1967 albums to begin.
Then I'll talk about something you know or didn't know.
Back in the 60's, albums in England were ordinarily released with 14 tracks on them.
Here in the U.S. it was the custom to have only 12 songs!
So what would happen- for example to Beatle albums- is that the American record labels would leave two songs off.
They would later release those previously unavailable tracks on a mismash album with no continuity and no sense of artistic time.
The Beatles tried to make a bitter joke of it with their famous Butcher Cover on the Yesterday And Today LP, which only resulted in them having to change the cover!
In the case of Are You Experienced, the 1967 debut album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, there were in fact only 11 songs on the U.S. release, but still 14 in England.
One of them, Red House, got a lot of play on the then Free-Form WABC-FM here in New York.
It was Jimi doing Blues, and I discovered I LIKED Blues..so much so I had the get the British import of that original album!
So that's what I have for you this chapter: Blues and Blues Rock.
All from that wonderful year when I was exposed to so much new music on a daily basis.
FM Radio showed me there was an awful lot I wasn't hearing, and opened the door to a whole New World that had me hooked then, and still does now.
Enjoy!

Oh absolutely. You got the point.

You have a needeth? Sounds biblical.

Look both ways when listening to Traffic Jon, lol!

I don't know, I guess you speak English good.

Thanks for the point for my ever-present cleverness...and let's just leave it at that, lol!

No, I have enougheth Traffic to satisfy my needeth. It's one of the groups I forget I have stuff from, so I listen to your show and say to myself, "Hey, DAMMIT! I have this. I needs to listen to this but now!"

I speak English good. What you talking about?

GUESS you deserve a point for that song but....

Jon,
You heard it from him folks, Jon GUARANTEES all who listen will like, lol!
Actually that last song isn't so good musically, but I deserve points for cleverness in using a song called Intermission to go to the break!
You gotta listen to some Traffic you do!
Any songs by them you don't have but wished you did?
You guys sure love your GEETAR!
So this is your favoritest of all the 1967 shows?
As a Musicologist I am very pleased, as a speaker of English I am appalled...favoritest, lol!
Thanks for the listen and writing pal, and let me know about Traffic,
Mike

There is some really good stuff here that I GUARANTEE all who listen will like. Except for maybe the last track. Don't think too many will like that. But the others? YES!

You made me want to whip out...some Traffic. Gotta listen to some Traffic I do!

I must say, this is my favoritest out of all the '67 stuff. It rocks. It rolls. It blues. Pus plenty GEETAR!
