Of course, if you remember hearing a song on pirate radio, you're going to immediately think sixties, it's an easy mistake to make.

Caroline, North and South were both silenced in March 1968 when both ships were towed back to Holland for non payment of dues.
The ship you may be in reference to would be RNI (Radio Northsea International) from the ship MEBO2 which changed it's named for a short time to Caroline and spouted anti governmental programming, hence the jamming of the AM frequency.
Ho Hum, happy days there is loads more o tell but that is for another time another thread.

yet again we are in agreement! but the monkees became 'un manufactured'...

The funny thing is that I remember listening to it in bed with a little transistor radio held up against my ear. I am genuinely shocked that it must have been 1972.

In that case I am glad to have been able to remind you of Janis' version. I agree it is a refreshing alternative to Erma's version.

Good track Rob.

There are several fine versions of this song. I was convinced that, at some point in the past, I had submitted the Uriah Heep version to the Rare 70's Classics thread, but I've just done a search on that thread and it would seem that I hadn't and nor had anyone else, so that's definitely one to remember for the future.

In the meantime, here's another version from the sixties, which is quite different from and is more to my liking than the one by Tim Rose. I tend to prefer this version because it sounds like an innocuous children's nursery rhyme, which in an ironic way makes the song even more chilling.

Harry Belafonte - Come Away Melinda (1963)

[JohnnyForget]

"Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro is one of those very cheesy songs that many people have as a guilty pleasure. Not me, I really detest that song!

On the other hand, this almost as cheesy Bobby Goldsboro song is most definitely a guilty pleasure for me:-

Bobby Goldsboro - See The Funny Little Clown (1964)

I love the Uriah Heep version. They were a great band.

I was looking through some of my earliest posts to the thread, noticed the above gem and decided it was definitely time for some more Ben E. King.

I once heard the recordings of Country Joe and the Fish described as being music drenched in LSD. A good description methinks. They certainly had a unique sound, which appeals to me but may not be to everyone's taste. Is it to yours? There's only one way to find out.

Two more examples of superior Psychedelia from the wonderful Country Joe and the Fish.

Country Joe and the Fish - I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag (1967)
This is the original version of the band's most famous song, which you don't tend to hear a lot these days as it's been completely overshadowed by the Live at Woodstock version. I do actually prefer the latter, but perhaps it's worth waiting until August and the 44th Anniversary of the Woodstock festival before submitting that fine version to the thread.

Country Joe and the Fish - Thursday (1967)
Perseverance is the key here. The track does not imho start off too well, but it does get considerably better. Beautiful and ethereal.

More tracks by The Cyrkle.

The Cyrkle - How Can I Leave Her (1966)
This fine track was the B-side of Red Rubber Ball, a Top Three U.S. hit single which has previously been submitted to the thread by Rob (see above).

The Cyrkle - Turn Down Day (1966)
This, my favourite track by the Cyrkle, was their not quite as successful follow-up single to the aforementioned Red Rubber Ball.

The Cyrkle - Kites (1967)
Excellent instrumental version of the song made famous by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound.

The Cyrkle - Reading Her Paper (1968)
This was originally submitted to the thread by Capablanca, but if you click on the link he provided (see above) you'll notice that the clip is no longer available on Youtube, which is a great pity because it's an excellent track. So, for Capablanca, and indeed for everybody else, I have provided an alternative clip. Enjoy.

"Red Rubber Ball" by the Cyrkle is a real favourite of mine. The song was co-written by Paul Simon (of Simon and Garfunkel) and Bruce Woodley (of the Seekers), so it's interesting to hear these two versions:-
