Cool British Singles Released in February 1966

I love the lady who goes into the record shop and asks to hear "19th Nervous Breakdown".

Thumbs up if you'd heard of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich before Tarantino!

This is one of the strongest slates of songs yet. “You’re a Better Man than I” is a hidden gem.

Let's not forget- John Dalton was a temporary Kink in 1966. He is on some songs on 1966s Face to Face" LP and toured with Kinks while Pete Quaife recovered

Man!! What A Great Time!! Got A Record Player For Christmas And Used All My Allowance And Lawn Mowing Money For Records!! Those Were The Days!!!!

Many years ago I had a wonderful opportunity when I got a call from a woman in Palm Springs, CA. She told me she had a bunch of records that came from the estate of Dave Hassinger. I knew who he was from his work with The Electric Prunes. Needless to say I was on my way to the desert. To cut to the chase I bough some fantastic 45s, LPs, and some of Hassinger's gold records. I got Dave's gold LP for "Out Of Our Heads" and his gold 45 for "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". As a bonus I got Dave's scrapbook which included all kinds of interesting items. One was a letter from Andrew Loog Oldham thanking Dave for his work on "Satisfaction". As a way of saying thanks Andrew and the boys made sure he got an engineering credit on the 45 label. All these items were going to be tossed away! Can you imagine that??

What a great group of songs. The harmonies on "I Can't Let Go" are what we all want our harmonies to sound like.

London '66 is my fantasy place & time (above my actual hippie upbringing on America's west coast). The clubs, the birds, the cars, the World Cup - what a scene.

That is a strong line up of songs for any playlist!

This was maybe the best dive into forgotten British pop history this channel has yet produced. You can see things building for what would come later in 1966 and then in 67. Shape of things to come indeed.

Dedicated Follower Of Fashion is Ray at his best 👌 .. A Top 10 Kinks song 🎵 in my book. Oh Yes , It is.

This is a fantastic channel 🤗

So many great singles from an era when 45’s were a fascinating barometer of pop culture. The Walker Brothers extraordinary ‘The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore’ still sounds epic to this day, some 57 years on!

It’s hard to credit all these songs were released in a single month, I think we took it for granted at the time. The Yardbirds truly were an innovative band, with their excellent “Shapes of Things” covered by many artists including David Bowie. I’d never heard of The Wheels before but so many groups simply faded away if they didn’t make the Charts. I always thought it quite sad that Graham Gouldman didn’t have more success with his own compositions before he did, the man was always a gifted songwriter. Thank you kindly Yesterday’s Papers for another fascinating flashback.

There can't be a single month in 1966 without great songs, but this is a fantastic collection. Thanks for uploading!

Yeah, where's that time-machine? I'm ready to go back! :0)

Some great releases in February 1966. I always enjoy these trips back to ......

What a terrific channel. Always makes my day when I see another video popup. And the street shots from back then are gold.

Just awesome and great to see Stop Stop Stop at the end , a great single 👌

And The Hits Keep On Coming!!! The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Animals, The Hollies, and The Walker Brothers released some of the best singles in rock and roll history during February of 1966. The only record that i found disappointing in this video. was The Action's version of "I'll Keep Holding On". I am big fan of The Motown Sound. and The Marvelettes are one of my favorite Motown groups. Just my opinion but The Marvelettes all but own "I'll Keep Holding On" which was one of the best records that the group ever made.
