23 Sept 2010: it's... a Mystery Year (1967)
« on: September 22, 2010, 03:46:31 PM »
"It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key."

ETA: FWIW, the '60s are the only decade we haven't hit yet this week.

Gaz ID's '67 on the basis of 4 bass notes of "I'm a Man."  BOS1 to Stevie and Spencer et al.

I was guessing 67 or 68, since it has to be before CTA did it in 69.  But I couldn't tell ya for sure.

Whee!  BOS2 to "Here Comes My Baby."  I always forget the artist, though.

Not to mention the disco version (BoysTown Gang, or somesuch).

BOS the Tremoloes, "Here Comes My Baby", a Cat Stevens compo.

AL's 3 for 3 in BOS votes from me: love the kick drums and doo-doo's on "R&R Woman."

BOS3 the Lovin' Spoonful and one of their loveliest. Just gorgeous (even if "dawdle" and "toddle" are a bit dicey, rhyme-wise)

Looks like my faux request was some 31 years off (I requested "Kind And Generous" for no particular reason on FB).

Just may be the one?  No, AL, you ARE the one today.  Greatest '67 set ever!
