No probs. Guessed it was that. IMHO the copyright rules are so random. A short section being talked over has to be pulled when whole songs being played in "reaction" videos get the green light?! Makes no sense to me.
Well, there were about 60 new singles released every week! I (who was born over three decades later) have sourced release dates for thousands of singles myself.
Catching up on my favorite channel. What to say about Dusty? Every time I've heard anything from her my admiration for her grows. What an intelligent, lovely, humble lady she was! Thanks YP.
What lovely, insightful, kind , and positive reviews from Dusty. Even when a particular song did not appeal to her, she had something encouraging to say about the group. And, it's great to hear one of the reviews that is positive about Motown. It was also great to hear her encouragement of Kiki Dee, another powerful female singer such as herself. Love Dusty and RIP. ❤
She was trying to be so nice to all of them, even when she didn't like the Spoonful's Six O'Clock, she still managed to be kind enough to say their next record is going to be better. Her encouragement of Kiki Dee shows a grace and kindness, considering Dee's material would be potential chart rivals to her own work. She's absolutely right about the backing, though. Dusty's years in the industry shows an appreciation for the song as a whole, not just the singer. If Penny was going to pick anyone as a temporary replacement, Dusty Springfield was the right choice. Thanks always, for sharing, YP! I look forward to every installment ♥
Dusty set the bar extremely high for female vocalists. An incredible singer. A great selection of songs here too. Lovely outro, YP 💖 This video just reminded me to go back and watch your Dusty and Buddy Rich video again "reportedly slapped him and sent his toupee flying" 🤣😂🤦♀
Kiki Dee did “make it,” but it was not until 1974 with “I got the music in me.” And of course two years later with the phenomenal Elton John hit, “don’t go breaking my heart.”
I had a similar thing happen……only a couple of days ago, out of the blue, I fancied hearing Dusty. So for the first time in several decades, I listened to her singing “I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself”. Dusty was fabulous!
Thank you for posting this- what impeccable taste Dusty Springfield had and interesting she picked up on Ashford and Simpson who composed the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell song
I would have been 7 yo at the time and I was always a bit unnerved by Dusty. It was the thick mascara and big hair lol Of course I have since come to recognise what a great talent she was. Still think Sandie Shaw was cuter, though! lol
What a surprise to find ''Los Brincos'' in this review! 2:45 Didn't know they recorded in English. I just put some of their versions in English, and they sound pretty good, even if they haven't conquered the Anglo-Saxon market. I'm delighted that Dusty Springfield gave them her thumbs up. Thanks, Yesterday's Papers.😀💯👍
Dusty was a sweet lady and one of the best singers of that era - came to our house for a cuppa when I were a nipper. I thought I knew most of the Small Faces - including E to D but I don’t remember Patterns 🤔 Keep up the good work 😉👍
Such a graceful and knowledgeable woman Dusty was here. Mind you, she was known for being a rather no nonsense ans salty critic sometimes! Great work. You are my favorite channel.
1:30 "Six Oclock" grew on me the first time I heard it. Sure, the chorus was boring, but it set the stage for the verses which grew progressively more intense, with one of my favorite crescendo's of all time at the end. I wonder if Dusty warmed up to it eventually.
Some interesting singles for Dusty to critique and she genuinely enjoyed the vast majority of them. Dusty’s enthusiasm for the music her fellow-musicians were making reminded me of Steve Marriott’s critique, in that both Dusty and Steve were massively talented themselves yet always appeared to be very respectful of their peers. Speaking of SM, I’d never heard that Small Faces song before but didn’t think it sounded up to their usual (excellent) fare? Overall, May was certainly an exciting month and the Charts were fantastic! Yet another fascinating look at the music I grew up loving. As always, your outro is lovely too, I think your arrangements are really clever, you obviously put a good deal of thought into them. Thanks YP, you’ve done it again!
Thanks, Linda! That single by the Small Faces was released by Decca without the band's permission. At that point, they had already left Decca and they were with Immediate Records
@@lindadote It was around the time when they broke up with their manager Don Arden, a guy who makes Allen Klein seem like a pussycat. Patterns got to 51 according to the Wikipedia entry but doesn't feature on the Official Charts website. The Small Faces wouldn't have done any promotion for it so no surprise that it wasn't a big hit
Incredible to see that chart...what happened to pop? Good to hear Dusty's thoughts, surprised by her rapture over The Fortunes. I have a velvet jacket which belonged to one of them. They are one of the few 60's bands I never took much notice of, but the b side of their single Here It Comes Again ( I think) surprised me recently, really good feel in the rhythm section and full on r&b. Cheers anyway, great as usual.
The Irish Catholic songstress from London, with a voice that could delve into gritty soul and then soar into shattering heartbreak (try not to be moved by her rendition of "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me"), unflinchingly upfront from early days, when it was so risky to do so, about her same-sex preference, gone too soon from cancer. Here she proves her excellent taste and unerring sensibility as she expertly fills in for a flu-ridden Penny Valentine for one week in that fleeting and deeply-missed season, spring 1967. While I may not agree with all her opinions (The Fortunes never did it for me; watered-down Righteous Brothers to my ears), no one can question her perspicacity. We all still miss you, Dusty. And thank you again, YP; another flawless video revisit of a magic time.
That Troggs record is great! The B side 'Girl In Black' is also good. The Small Faces B Side 'E Too D' is fantastic, it's the side i play rather than the A side. it reminds me of Early Who records. It's wild! I love the reviews on this channel! how about some 70s ones?
These are fair and reasonable assessments. The Marvin Gaye song is really good, and the Lovin' Spoonful song was one of their lesser songs. I didn't realize Kiki Dee was recording in 1967.
I can only surmise that I have slipped into an alternative universe! I remember none of these with the exception of the silent Carrie Anne which surely would have slipped out of copyright by now - except Brussels changed the rules, didn't they? I can't help wondering who else was on Penny Valentine's friends list... Excellent work!
Nice to hear a woman reviewing again! Overall she had a really nice selection. She rated everything rather positively, except for the Lovin' Spoonful. She spoke intelligently as someone who knows what she is talking about. Her taste isn't quite mine, but that's beside the point. The Hollies and The Troggs (creepy 😱!) sure are great! And although I really like The Small Faces, I don't find "Patterns' very special unfortunately... But come on... Many excellent singles in the Melody Maker Pop 30, it will be a fight for the first place 😅! Thanks again Yesterday's Papers! 👍ED
Cheers, Edwin. It definitely wasn't one of the Small Faces' best singles. That single was actually released without the Small Faces' permission. At the time, they had already left Decca and signed to Immediate Records.
I’ll never understand companies/bands that block excerpts of their tracks. You’d think that it would be a great way of getting new ears on their music. There have been plenty of times that I’ve heard a bit of a track and then downloaded it. Small minded perhaps by these people?
Gosh! That U. K. top 30 singles chart for that week - almost every record is a classic or at least memorable in some other way. Do we even have a Top 30 still?
Personally the fortunes best song was from 1971, “here comes that rainy day feeling again”. I don’t think they ever produced anything as catchy before or since
"E too D" is a fantastic tune, definitely better than the more commercial "Patterns". Sometimes the B-sides sound so much better than the A. Apart from that, I'd like to see a video on Penny Valentine's career one day.
I might be misremembering, but I seem to recall Dusty doing a second lot of singles reviews around then, leading off with a comment about Traffic's Paper Sun: "Stevie's gone all commercial on this!".
So glad Dusty loved Los Brincos' song. I wish she had the chance to hear another of their '67 singles, "Nadie te quiere ya" (so much better, in my opinion). th-cam.com/video/4GIa1pwFuhQ/w-d-xo.html
The month when the Toronto Maple Leafs last won the Stanley Cup and trouble brewing in the Middle East there were a lot of great songs on the chart and one of the greatest female singers in UK history gave an excellent review of some very good songs and her review of the Marvin Gaye Tammi Terrel song Aint No Mountain High Enough is as good as it gets.
Indeed. You're allowed to quote from a copyrighted book or article (it's called something like "fair use"), so what's wrong with playing a 10-20 second snatch from a record? Some media companies are too bloody precious to live, if you ask me.
Dusty, a great lady did an almost perfect review all the way along here. My only disagreements are that she underrated that track from The Lovin' Spoonful which I think was one of their strongest and greatest, and that the Kiki Dee was only passable to me. Dusty should have preferred the B side of this, like with one or two others here, as the B side was actually quite good, although I wasn't a huge fan of hers. But not an actual duff track here. I had never heard of Los Brincos. But even that sounded good, and Dusty surprisingly rated it.
@@YesterdaysPapers I think you were partly right. I played the tracks on TH-cam. There were some standouts, plus lesser goods. But I noticed there were 26 tracks. A lot of them must have been bonus tracks. All sounded 1967-68. I also investigated all of the singles and two self-titled albums they released in Spain from 1964-66. But this was obviously more influenced on the mid sixties British Invasion sound, most typically The Beatles. But they quite obviously lacked the songwriting skills of Lennon/McCartney, as apart from the occasional standout, it all sounds run-of-the-mill. At times, their Beatles influence was too obvious, although there was the occasional 12 string guitar, seemingly influenced by The Byrds. A few of those early songs sounded rather Spanish, but with a British Invasion sound. It seemed odd that they sang some of those early songs in English, when they never had a record release here at that time. This is one of their better earlier songs. th-cam.com/video/E99HX-tpnU8/w-d-xo.html But I think the best way to get their complete recordings is on two double CDs on Sony which are playable on sites like Spotify, called Lo Mejor De Los Brincos, Vols 1 & 2. The sound quality of many of the tracks isn't very good. But that may be how the recordings were made in Spain, where the recording facilities in those days may not have been very good.
@@paulgoldstein2569 Glad you liked some of their stuff, Paul. The line-up on the "Contrabando" album is quite different from the line-up on their earlier singles. One of their best singles from their early days is a song called "Tu Me Dijiste Adiós". Great melancholic tune with a fantastic melody and very remniscent of The Byrds.
BTW, the "Contrabando" album was recorded in London and produced by Larry Page. Most of their stuff sounds great on vinyl but it seems that whoever is in charge of reissuing their recordings hasn't done a good job.
@@YesterdaysPapers I came across that track when examining all the tracks on their two double CDs on Sony. I thought that was one of the standouts, a rather unusual tune. Al the tracks on Contrabando are on the second of those two double CDs, but in different playing order. I discovered that three of the four tracks on their two UK Page One singles they recorded in English and Spanish, each over the same backing track. But only the Spanish language versions appear on either of those two double CDs. The only track on those singles that they only recorded in English, The Train, appears on the second double CD in English. It appears that Sony have the rights to their material, but seem to have not actually remastered the tracks. But it was a good new name to conjure with. There seems to be a lot of their compilations on bootleg labels.
I always thought that Dusty was a gem even though I might disagree with some of her opinions here. The Troggs track was great--ahead their time! Interesting to see Kiki Dee in '67. The first I'd heard of her was in the mid(?)-70's when she was recording and performing with Elton John. Funny, a friend of mine had one of her records in his collection and I asked him what she was like and he said "a female Elton John" lol!
I thought this sounded a bit dubious so I checked it out. Are you referring to the Top 100 Motown songs of the millennium chart compiled by The Official Chart Company which based on all time downloads and streams not votes. Which explains why it's a terrible list. The Tears Of A Clown (the best Motown song ever) at #53??? disgraceful.
@@conssuckballs No. it was a poll conducted by a UK TV channel. The No1 was a joint placing for both version of the song by Marvin & Tammi & the Diana Ross version. The list was far from scientific but it does reflect how many legendary Motown recordings initially failed to chart in the UK but have over time become staples on radio/tv and numerous compilations and playlists while the records that did chart back in the day have since fallen from grace.
@@conssuckballs It was an ITV Show, part of a long running series of "The Nations Favourite.... Song" - insert artist/label. There are just a couple of clips online
How do u always stump me. What is the outro please YP ?! I swear it's on the tip of my frigging ear. Certain parts I'm thinking Floyd maybe Beatles but the tune wont come to me, you somehow mask it man so well. It drives me fking crazy cos Imma name that tune in 1 type of listener. One sec I need a Piper refresh RQ. lol Holy fking shit it's Interstellar Overdrive LMFAO
I think its cos of the instru nature that threw me off too. Beginning of side one of Pipers not side two haha It especially kills me not to get that. The psychedelia is so well done man that's it's almost Interstellar ha
I love Dusty, but this selection she was offered was dire, The Small Faces were my favourite group, but that song was not one of their best. Same with other artists, she deserved better.
The excerpt from the Hollies' track got muted due to copyright. Sorry about that.
Prickly 😁
Really? The Hollies? Of all groups...pretty sure it's a publisher deal. Pathetic.
Not like I didn't get an instant earworm from seeing the title

Night Of The Long Grass is a great song by the late Reg Presley & The Troggs. A Lost Gem 💎.

But they quite obviously lacked the songwriting skills of Lennon/McCartney, as apart from the occasional standout, it all sounds run-of-the-mill. At times, their Beatles influence was too obvious, although there was the occasional 12 string guitar, seemingly influenced by The Byrds. A few of those early songs sounded rather Spanish, but with a British Invasion sound. It seemed odd that they sang some of those early songs in English, when they never had a record release here at that time. This is one of their better earlier songs.

But I think the best way to get their complete recordings is on two double CDs on Sony which are playable on sites like Spotify, called Lo Mejor De Los Brincos, Vols 1 & 2. The sound quality of many of the tracks isn't very good. But that may be how the recordings were made in Spain, where the recording facilities in those days may not have been very good.
@@paulgoldstein2569 Glad you liked some of their stuff, Paul. The line-up on the "Contrabando" album is quite different from the line-up on their earlier singles. One of their best singles from their early days is a song called "Tu Me Dijiste Adiós". Great melancholic tune with a fantastic melody and very remniscent of The Byrds.
BTW, the "Contrabando" album was recorded in London and produced by Larry Page. Most of their stuff sounds great on vinyl but it seems that whoever is in charge of reissuing their recordings hasn't done a good job.
@@YesterdaysPapers I came across that track when examining all the tracks on their two double CDs on Sony. I thought that was one of the standouts, a rather unusual tune. Al the tracks on Contrabando are on the second of those two double CDs, but in different playing order. I discovered that three of the four tracks on their two UK Page One singles they recorded in English and Spanish, each over the same backing track. But only the Spanish language versions appear on either of those two double CDs. The only track on those singles that they only recorded in English, The Train, appears on the second double CD in English. It appears that Sony have the rights to their material, but seem to have not actually remastered the tracks. But it was a good new name to conjure with. There seems to be a lot of their compilations on bootleg labels.
87th!!!
I think that the Brincos' Lola is not the same as the Kinks'...
No, not the same song.
@@YesterdaysPapers I know, I was asking about Lola her(him)self (pun intended)
A month before the release of Sgt Peppers
I always thought that Dusty was a gem even though I might disagree with some of her opinions here. The Troggs track was great--ahead their time! Interesting to see Kiki Dee in '67. The first I'd heard of her was in the mid(?)-70's when she was recording and performing with Elton John. Funny, a friend of mine had one of her records in his collection and I asked him what she was like and he said "a female Elton John" lol!
I think Kiki released her first single in 1965.
Pop 30 #8 Frank n Nancy Sinatra Say something' stupid) kills me. Ive only heard twice . The fortunes
'Somehthing Stupid' is the only song on both the US and UK top ten. Now that is something stupid.
Aint No Mountain High Enough by Marvin and Tammi flopped in the UK. A few years back it was voted the UKs 2nd most popular Motown record....
I thought this sounded a bit dubious so I checked it out. Are you referring to the Top 100 Motown songs of the millennium chart compiled by The Official Chart Company which based on all time downloads and streams not votes. Which explains why it's a terrible list. The Tears Of A Clown (the best Motown song ever) at #53??? disgraceful.
@@conssuckballs No. it was a poll conducted by a UK TV channel. The No1 was a joint placing for both version of the song by Marvin & Tammi & the Diana Ross version. The list was far from scientific but it does reflect how many legendary Motown recordings initially failed to chart in the UK but have over time become staples on radio/tv and numerous compilations and playlists while the records that did chart back in the day have since fallen from grace.
@@knockshinnoch1950 Do you have a link to it?
@@conssuckballs It was an ITV Show, part of a long running series of "The Nations Favourite.... Song" - insert artist/label. There are just a couple of clips online
@@knockshinnoch1950 OK. I found an article about it. Ain't No Mountain was #3 and it was the Diana Ross version.
How do u always stump me. What is the outro please YP ?! I swear it's on the tip of my frigging ear. Certain parts I'm thinking Floyd maybe Beatles but the tune wont come to me, you somehow mask it man so well. It drives me fking crazy cos Imma name that tune in 1 type of listener. One sec I need a Piper refresh RQ. lol Holy fking shit it's Interstellar Overdrive LMFAO
I mean I'm pretty sure it is lol
Hahaha! It's a psychedelic instrumental I recorded, loosely based on "Astronomy Domine" by Pink Floyd.
@@YesterdaysPapers lol I just listened to that too but erred on IO wow man dammit
I think its cos of the instru nature that threw me off too. Beginning of side one of Pipers not side two haha It especially kills me not to get that. The psychedelia is so well done man that's it's almost Interstellar ha
Fun as always YP. Carrie Anne was Nash lusting after Marriane Faithful. Motown was pretty much the only quality from the usa at this time.
YP, I only want to be with you.
Another great presentation. A female voiceover now!
Whatever the outro is anyway it's pure psychedelia, I've listened to it like 10 times lol and I LOVE IT ha but yeah IO
Cheers!
I love Dusty, but this selection she was offered was dire, The Small Faces were my favourite
group, but that song was not one of their best. Same with other artists, she deserved better.
All fairly respectable, others had it worst
I mean it could also be little red book or Steptoe and son ha
B-Side of Night of the long grass is Girl in black.
Great tune.
OMG the single charts! (apart from Engelbert...)
No Beatles on the charts at all... oh well, maybe next month?
A sweet lady saying sweet things. And she was dead right about that Spoonful 45, it's nowhere.
Some great groups and singers but probably with the worst singles they ever released😂. Dusty made some good comments
I love most of the singles Dusty reviewed here.
After Carrie Ann by The Hollies everything else was a dud
Motown Lost its soul.
Maybe more recently, but it was flowing nicely back then
@@djhrecordhound4391 yeah back then.. .
@@djhrecordhound4391 Very nicely in fact 😀
That was a pretty craptastic week, other than a few songs.
