Should be "If you've only just discovered this thread".
I don't know this thread seems to have more pages than many websites I know.

I really like that track ^ - some great guitar on it. Its tune resembles "House Of The Rising Sun", as does the tune of this one:-

Love - Signed D.C. (1966)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8pElXtwyF0
The above track is included on Love's eponymous first album. Here's my favourite track from that same album:-

Love - Softly To Me (1966)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RhIh_HuFmE

Here's a couple that it'll take Rob about a decade to get round to

What's a matter baby - Timi Yuro. The all time greatest women's revenge song. So passionate she almost blows the mic!

It'll never be over for me - Timi Yuro.

There he is - Baby Washington. Another deep soul classic.

sounds ok as a track, but not really as a cover of a hendrix classic.

On Mike Wallback's Show that Time Forgot on Tameside Radio this afternoon, he played Loving Spoonful's Do You Believe in Magic? which he said pre-dated their hits Daydream and Summer in the City

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDYNuD4CwlI

He also played an early song with Jeff Lynne in the band The Idle Race called The Skeleton & the Roundabout.

It was the title track of their first album, and their first single. John Sebastian wrote it.

The album 'Birthday party' is a fine slab of pop psych. dated now, but some of the tracks still stand up. I'm still fond of the last track 'End of the road' - used to finish sets with it years back.

Mention of the wonderful Lovin' Spoonful will definitely wake me from my slumber and get me posting again after such a long absence from this thread. They're second only to the Beach Boys as my favourite American band of the sixties. In fact I like the Spoonful so much that I devoted the second post in last year's Vabosity's Third Anniversary Review Of The Thread entirely to them. That post featured the aforementioned Do You Believe In Magic? and four other just as excellent tracks, and is definitely worth repeating:-

Vabosity's Third Anniversary Review Of The Thread - Post #2.



Spot on, Capablanca!


I find it a sad indictment of the Great British record buying public of the day that such an excellent band (The Lovin' Spoonful) featuring such a brilliant songwriter (John Sebastian) only had two major UK hits (Daydream and Summer In The City). Of course, I could put a positive spin on it, and also say that the Great British record buying public of the day should be thanked for making so many classic Lovin’ Spoonful tracks eligible for this thread.

As with Sam Cooke, I love every single Lovin’ Spoonful track that has been submitted to this thread, but I could only pick five, and they can be found below.


The Lovin’ Spoonful - You Didn’t Have To Be So Nice (1965)
First submitted to the thread in May 2010.
This track has a certain naive charm that I find very appealing.

The Lovin’ Spoonful - Do You Believe In Magic (1965)
First submitted to the thread in May 2010.
Urban Bassman, the poster who first submitted this track to the thread, described it as the perfect pop song. I completely agree with that statement, the perfect pop song is the perfect description.

The Lovin’ Spoonful - Full Measure (1966)
First submitted to the thread in June 2010.
Perhaps the most obscure of the five tracks I’ve selected, but an absolute gem.

The Lovin’ Spoonful - Younger Girl (1965)
First submitted to the thread in July 2010.
The Critters had a minor UK hit single with this song in 1966 and the Hondells had a minor U.S. hit single with it in the same year. Both are fine covers and are well worth checking out. However, my preferred version is the original album track by the Lovin’ Spoonful.

The Lovin’ Spoonful - Didn’t Want To Have To Do It (1966)
First submitted to the thread in July 2010
Beautiful, just beautiful.
