Cool British Singles Released in November 1966

1966 drenched in Mod -Love it.

Again, the magical year of 1966. I was born decades later but I would’ve loved to be in my prime in the period. It was simply the best for music. So much changing within a few years. We go from chuck berry to this 10 years later. What was the music like 10 years ago from today? Nobody can really say anything. Almost everything in the last 25 years will never stand the test of time. And In 25 more years, it will still be this music that is remembered and celebrated most.

I've been buying records since I was at school, and I'm now 67. I've around 8,000 singles (the majority from the 60s). And listen to music EVERYDAY. There's not a day go's by without me hearing something new.

Robert Plant, Lemmy and Jeff Lynne as wannabe mod kids. Brilliant

My Mind's Eye is a classic single & my favorite Small Faces song. Never knew it was still in " demo " form. That makes it even better !

Thanks as always. This channel never fails to deliver.

What a great year for music 1966 was. Amazing!

I am from the U.S. During the 1966-1967 school year, I heard two different new songs on the radio called "Deadend Street", the one by the Kinks featured here and one by Lou Rawls. It was the last new Kinks song I heard on the radio until they started a comeback with "Lola" in 1970. I didn't know it wasn't a big hit like their earlier Reprise label releases in the U.S. I was surprised when it did not appear on a Kinks anthology CD put out by Rhino in the late 1980s or early 1990s. "Deadend Street" by the Kinks is the only single featured in this video that I heard on the radio in the U.S. I heard a cover of their song "Dandy", but it was by Herman's Hermits, not the artist mentioned in this video.

The sounds of Britain in '66... a dichotomy of worldliness and naivety. What a scene!

Ray Davies ruled the 1960s…a tip of the hat to the Kinks… Also loved seeing young Robert Plant.

Just another fantastic video, brings the sixties back to life 👍👏

BTW The Young Rascals guitarist Gene Cornish just celebrated his 80th birthday. He is from Rochester New York that song was covered by Pat Benatar and became the second song ever played on MTV in 1981.

Fantastic as always - Mud In Your Eye is a belter!

1966 was a great year for music..full stop. But my favorite of these has got to be Dead End Street by the Kinks. It's one of the best Kinks singles ever. But better still is Big Black Smoke...it's very underrated still. The bells you hear on Big Black Smoke are the very same bells used on Fat Old Sun by Pink Floyd. Superb work as usual. Keeps me an Anglophile forever 👍

If the BBC thought the Dead End Street video was in "bad taste", their attitudes must have undergone a marvellously comprehensive change a few years later, when they aired a short-lived sitcom called That's Your Funeral, set in an undertaking business.

Beautiful vid from the autumn I was 11 and in sixth grade in Dallas. The only sad note for me is that, after one more vid, we'll leave the magical year of 1966 behind. Thank you again.

The Small Faces 'You need Lovin' was basically ripped off by Led Zep, but Steve loved it. Steve Marriott, for me, was the best Blues/Rock singer this country ever produced.

I use some of these singles in a Obscure 45s group. I also give a shout out to Yesterday's Papers.

Seeing Lemmy without his signature stash is Surreal.

Never heard of the Gnomes of Zurich. What a great band name! Also loved the production credit to "The National Elf Service." Also loved that "tasteless" Kinks video. Auntie Beeb was so stodgy.
