FYI Nico does not sing Sunday Morning. It's sung by Lou Reed, who is trying to sound like a girl. He was trying to prove they didn't need Nico in the band.
Hi Mr. Rich.. I love all those albums you showed. I can draw disrelei gears cover. Takes a long time.. grandpa says 67 was the summer of love.. to bad every summer can't be the summer of love... Thanks Mr.Rich... Olivia..
Love these best of segments and they're NOT too long at all. I ended up playing what Lps I had for 1966. You've inspired another night of spinning 1967 on the TT!
Richie - you got it goin', man! I like your 60's lists. You have the best VC videos. No sweat, no drama. I see eye to eye on a lot of the music you cover. Keep it up, bro!
It's hard to argue that '67 was probably the biggest year for albums, certainly a major shift in music. While '68 and '69 has more of my favorite albums, everything you showed are classics and I know them backwards and forwards.
Hi Richie, Great video. I also put a sheet of Lennon stamps in that record! Had to buy a mono copy of the Doors debut 'cuz the record shop sold out of the stereo copies. Still have it. Good choices of albums. In 67 I was 12 and buying a record a week. Take care, have a good week.
Nice show. Just because there are not a zillion likes for someone’s contest doesn’t mean the collecting thing is dying. To many contests and top whatever’s can become boring. Just do your shows and accept the hits and likes as they come. It’s really all about if you enjoy making videos or not. Stay tuned. Make your own collection world go on. 🖖🚀
I'm just kidding about the VC dying. There are way to many contests. These 60's best of videos are a bit predictable. I think by the 70's it will be less so.
Dude I broke down and did videos for 65-67 and will post them t/o the week I figured out a way to do it without showing all the great albums you did So I’m in my man! Peace ☮️🤘👽✌️☮️
Another great list! I would’ve joined in after you but I started doing these over a year ago and I’m currently on 1993! We had very similar lists this year but in a different order! 👍🤘🤘
The Who Sell Out, Younger Than Yesterday, Surrealistic Pillow, Forever Changes, Strange Days. All would be tough for me to leave off. Lot of ties or make it a top 20. Glad you found your Lennon stamps.
I tried to do 66, not enough so I did look at 67 which you now showed all of my 67 albums. Seriously I had all 10 of these but not sure what else. I will look deeper into it. Actually, if I use jazz I just may have this. Very enjoyable, I may repeat a lot of this but I plan to do it. I will make mine longer then your so no worries.
Once again I find myself agreeing with you on the #1 pick. Not that I know enough records from the year 1967 but still. That Jimi Hendrix two in one LP sure came handy for this. Cheers!
i would love to see a 1970 vid. great albums from that year, Paranoid, Let it be, All things must pass, Bridge over Troubled Water, zeppelin 3, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs,Deep Purple in Rock,John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band,Signed, Sealed & Delivered
Hey Rich! Man you keep killing it with these amazing 60’s albums! I was going to try and join in on this but then I noticed I had too much overlap and would basically have been showing the same albums you showed so I kind of wussed out Maybe I’ll try to do a garage rock version or something Who knows? I dig Beatles MMT A couple of my favorite Beatles jams are on there! Those Hendrix albums have 2 of the best cover art I’ve ever seen Axis and Are You Experienced In my old band we used to cover Creams Sunshine of Your Love God I used to love singing that song! Keep on saving the VC one 60’s album at a time cuz this is great! Peace ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️
I think in the 70's there will be more variety in peoples choices. You could do a top ten Bubble Gum songs. Brudder Brian sends his love. Mazzy and I went on his live stream last night and gave him some shit.
@@vinylrichie007I actually am posting videos for 65-67 I filmed all 3 yesterday and will disperse them throughout the next few days Yeah when BB “sends his love” it’s probably best to have a bomb sniffing dog check the package first Peace ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️PS watch my latest vid til the end
I like that you don't mind buying new reissues, i hate discussions about what release of album xy they have and why it might be much better then this or that. Shoutout to you, i like your videos👍
I recently watched a video about Joni Mitchell's Blue. They were talking about how great the new reissue is. He then pulled out eight more different versions of the same record. I turned it off. Boring. I can't imagine never being happy with a copy of the record that I have. It is a bit neurotic.
@@vinylrichie007 i totally agree with you. Although in the hifi scene i like those discussions because with the money i have (as a student) i want to get the best for my money. I get it that some people collect vinyl like historic products, but i really cannot listen to debates why this pressing with that specific label and this or that written in the deadwax is several times more worth having than the recent reissue. In the end records were and are produced to have a medium with music on it that you can play and listen to. We should care more about the music then the pressing, you know what i mean? Sorry if my english is not that good, i'm from switzerland and maybe my 1 to 1 translation in my head isnt always right.
The greatest ever debut album by a solo artist, Laura Nyro's 'More Than a New Discovery', spawning 4 major hits including And When I Die, Wedding Bell Blues, Stoney End and Blowin' Away. The album is honoured in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Nyro wrote the songs aged 16, recorded it when she was 18. A genius level singer/songwriter. She performed at Monterey Pop aged 19, in between The Byrds and Jefferson Airplane. Her 1968 and 1969 albums are mindblowing - songwriting so far ahead of the game.
@@vinylrichie007 I bought my first album in 1971, but I only discovered Laura 5 years ago when I found her debut in an antiques store sitting by itself on a sideboard!
I did buy the Lou Reed & Nico album when it came out. Was in The City one day, saw it and bought it. I liked it, my friends thoughts went from dislike to hate.
I've thought long and hard and mine would be: 1. Forever Changes - Love 2. Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles 3. Sgt. Peppers - The Beatles 4. The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn - Pink Floyd 5. Surrealistic Pillow - Jefferson Airplane 6. Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix 7. The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion - The Incredible String Band 8. The Doors - The Doors 9. Disraeli Gears - Cream 10. Mr Fantasy - Traffic That's leaving out some absolute classics too, truly the best ever year for music.
@@vinylrichie007 They're a bit of an acquired taste, psychedelic freak folk band from Scotland, they were quite popular in the UK the album I included here got to 5 on the album charts in 67 in UK I believe.
@@fantasypgatour it’s a solid an very fair list. I own every album but one; (vinyl an cd) but!! Not the Airplane. I only bought cd about a week ago an had never listened to this classic album in full until last week.
So many great records came out that year, but you certainly included some of the best. Love the Doors debut.Piper, Axis ( my favourite too). Disraeli Gears has such an amazing cover artwork.Very iconic and typical of the era. Thought you may have included The Byrds Younger Than Yesterday, love that one. Pepper is worthy of a top spot, although I've heard it so many times, I probably favour Magical Mystery Tour to be honest. Your Mother Should know is a special song .My mum always requests my brother and I play it on the guitars at Xmas!. Ha ha..wanker song!!.
My copy of Are You Experienced is weird, it's a mono cover, with a stereo record inside and there is just a sticker on the front of the cover that says stereo
I think I'm going to have to listen to my copy of cream album desolate gears.,lol it is a good one Richie, I finally got a chance to finish this video. I started watching it earlier and my wife found all kinds of shit for me to do around here...lol
I loved this video and I do notice all the cool comments that you post in the vinyl community. That last time I listened to The Banana Album, which was recently, I also noticed the similarities between Lou Reed's voice and Nico's voice. I'd say that I like them both. I thought your best of 1967 that you showed was good. (1) Are You Experienced? (2) Days of Future Passed (3) The Velvet Underground and Nico (4) Disraeli Gears (5) The Doors (6) Insight Out (7) Time Has Come (8) Incense And Peppermints (9) Magical Mystery Tour (10) Between The Buttons H.M. Headquarters .........Deliver
I also love Syd Barrett Pink Floyd. I’ve never compared the Giles mix to the mono. I’ve heard audiophiles and Beatle fanatics praise the mono version. I prefer stereo.
@@vinylrichie007 awesome! I'll def check out the Giles mix, which is still readily available. The mono, even on CD, is damn near impossible to find without spending a small fortune.
Hi Richie- a great video and I can’t really argue with your ranking- Sgt Pepper is definitely the best of the year and I love the Doors debut. Only one album missing which should be in the top 5 and that is the Who’s “Who sell out” albeit it was released December 67. Really enjoyed watching this one - Cheers Bill
I'd have to include Forever Changes by Love. It's one of my favorite albums of all time. A House Is Not A Motel is my favorite cut with great guitar solos by Johnny Echols. To say the least, Arthur Lee had a unique way of looking at the world.
@7:15 - You are correct. The US version of Piper had See Emily Play on it and left off Astronomy Domine, Flaming and Bike. Such a shame since the first two are so awesome.
Ok, here goes my top ten '67: 1. The Beatles - Sgt Pepper (I guess you have to!) 2. Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn 3. The Kinks - Something Else 4. Captain Beefheart - Safe as Milk 5. Small Faces - Small Faces (The first Immediate album) 6. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced and Axis Bold as Love (both of them.. 😉) 7. The Incredible String Band - 5000 Spirits 8. The Monkees - More of the Monkees (Oh yes! - I have no shame!) 9. Cream - Disraeli Gears 10. The Who - Sell Out 👍👍👍 Take care all!
Update of my Top Ten '67: (I missed out several great albums…) 1. The Beatles - Sgt Pepper 2. Pink Floyd - Piper 3. The Kinks - Something Else 4. The Doors - Strange Days 5. Captain Beefheart - Safe as Milk 6. The Velvet Underground - White Light White Heat 7. Small Faces - Small Faces (The first Immediate album) 8. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced and Axis 9. The Who - Sell Out 10. Cream - Disraeli Gears 👍👍👍
Hey Rich, nice list. Personally my #1would have been VU and Nico. although i didn't get it at first, either-then it hit me hard! I'll def check out the traffic album. never heard that one.
wow! Those are ten classic albums. Those could be a solid overall top ten for all time. Or close to it. It's hard to argue with anything you've said. I may try to do a response but would leave out jazz this time (I had to include jazz in 65 because I didn't have enough great rock albums lol). It's a great thread!
Beatles had Two 4 Track machines for most Sgt Peppers. It was recorded on "4 Track", but they synchronized two of them together. That's how Giles Martin was able to separate all those instruments into a great sounding stereo mix. He had access to the tracks before they were bounced over to the other 4 track machine.
Late 60’s is my favorite time for music. I do like a lot of the 70’s too. I was 11 in 67. I didn’t start going to concerts until 1971. Thanks for watching.
Bro, you are frigg'n Hilarious! :D BTW, FWIW, I'm not usually a mono guy and especially not for the Psychedelic era. Even though 'Audiophiles' claim that for example the mono version of Axis, Bold as Love is SO much better, sorry, I just love all the neat channel to channel trippy stuff on the stereo version, and the same with Revolver. BUT... I guess the original mono master for Disraeli Gears was **SO** much better than the stereo one, that the recent Abbey Road 1/2 speed mono remaster done by Miles Showell is actually pretty dang good! It is the only real mono album I have out of about 2400 vinyl albums, so I thought I'd throw that out there.
With Axis there is no way I would pick mono over stereo. When the Ramones debut 40th anniversary album came out in mono I picked it up. I thought if anything would sound better in mono it would be the Ramones. I think the stereo is better.
@@vinylrichie007 Well, if you ever get a chance to listen to that mono master that Showell did of Disraeli Gears, you will be impressed my friend. And again, this is from someone who normally does not care for mono recordings since my entire system is designed with a very open, completely dipole multi-driver tall array soundstage.
isnt that the only album in music history that has music videoes to every single track? 8.05 , correct me if im wrong. for instance, Penny Lane, strawberry fields forever, the fool on the hill, im the walrus,all u need is love, your mother should know, flying etc
I’m not sure. The music in Magical Mystery Tour is great. Though the film is a boring mess. I know it has been a month but I’d like to thank you for watching.
Strange album. Love some of it, but there are a few tracks that sound like they should have been the b-sides of singles. I Know There's An Answer and I Just Wasn't Made For These Times are really annoying songs for me, even if they're both critics' favourites.
hey man, love the list ...do you own an 1967 album that i personally think was a damn good release, pices, aquarius, capricorn and jones ltd by the monkees. released in november 1967.
So many damn good albums from a damn good year. Moody Blues' Days of future Passed and Sly and the Family Stone's A Whole New Thing two of my favourites from that year too! Motown totally tore up their rulebook on making soul and RnB the moment Sly hit them with tracks like Trip to your Heart and Underdog.
@@vinylrichie007 very true. Hope Stand! Stands somewhere in your top 10 picks of 1969 😄 as does at least one of the albums from the Moodies that year....
The Cream LP is a true classic, for sure. But my #1 record of 1967 is Jefferson Airplane's After Bathing At Baxter's. It's a psychedelic masterpiece. I think it's the best music they ever produced.
The VCs dieing is it? I wouldn't know I do my own thing. I don't come out of my VC cave that often Pat... 67 was an incredible year for music. Van Morrison has my fav Van song on his 1967 album Blowin' Your Mind, TB Sheets the songs called. Astral weeks was in 67 too, that one's a MONSTER. In 1967 kids got introduced to the Blues with Albert Kings Born Under A Bad Sign, that would be in there for me. Electric music for The Mind by Country Joe and Days of Future passed were in 67 too. Music for your head. Groovin' by The Young Rascals is a fav album of mine from 67. I can't quibble with your choices except maybe the Velvet Underground album. I'm not a Nico fan... In 67 R&B was dead, bubblegum shit was on the wane and goody two shoes pop singles were getting replaced by some hard core rock. The AM radio station directors weren't afraid to play it anymore. We didn't have a FM rock station until 69.... I'll tell you a funny story about that Hendrix are you experienced album. In 1967 when that album came out we chopped up an ounce of Speed on it with a razor blade. Speed had lots of crystals in it back then. The Purple dye came off the album and made the speed a purpley mauve color. We hit it or sold it anyhow. LOL.. I ran into a guy at my Bar 8 or 9 years ago and somehow the conversation ended up about the great drugs of the 60s. The dude mentioned one time doing the best speed in his life and the color of it was purple. LOL... Yep he bought that speed off of us some 50 years ago. We had quite the laugh when I told him why the speed was purple... LOL.. Come to think of it it might of been in 68 that purple speed not 67. I wasn't hitting in 67, I was in 68... yeah the summer of Love 1967. It was a very good year let me tell you. There was a different vibe going on. It didn't last long though. Charly Manson and Altamont killed that in 69, we lost our innocence....
My fave year of music..given it had the most important album of all time..pepper..DARE i say..given people perceiving Pepper as overrated I think it’s UNDERRATED..it’s their best album…I also love mystery tour!! Thank Richie
I have 9 out of the 10. Missing the Aretha album. Never seen it in the wild. I heard she did not get along with the Muscle Shoals people. Atlantic should have sent here to Stax.
Great choices . I agree with your comments about The End . It would have been better as a much shorter song . I like their epic on Strange Days , When the Music's Over , much better . Cheers !
Pepper all the way, right on Rich...people have been waffling on for years about Revolver, Rubber Soul, even Abbey Road but Sgt. Pepper's was the game changer. Nice list, got all of them in the collection myself except for Pink Floyd (well Velvet Underground I only have on CD). What the heck does Swalbr mean anyway, killer song but I can never remember that weird name. Cheers!
Good list! I saw an hour long discussion by Howard Goodall the composer on Sgt Peppers Musical Revolution and he pointed up the way the LP used different musical styles/eras , and made a strong case that George Martin definitely was the 'fifth Beatle' on this one; also that Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane belong on the LP and its a shame they released those songs as a double A side 45 instead.
Can you imagine side two starting with Strawberry Fields Forever and then Penny Lane? The Beatles would not have been what they were without George Martin. That said, George Martin wouldn't have been what he was without The Beatles. They were a perfect match.
I love the VU album it's almost proto punk in some ways for me. It's raw and experimental. I also really like early Floyd with Syd Barret. After that the band becomes too commercial / corporate rock. The Doors debut is classic. My fave is the cover of whiskey bar
If an ale is pale, there’s something definitely wrong with it. I actually found that velvet underground record at goodwill, original pressing too. No banana sticker but I don’t mind.
wonderful choice and i agree with all but one,now this is only my opinion but the world of rock in 1967 embraced all these records all were number ones ,except one, aretha franklin,in 67 the music scene was busting wide open and if you were young and hip and white you listened to rock and psych,i never bought or listened to , and neither did anyone else i knew listen to aretha's music,it was not played on cool underground stations,it just wasn't, now in the decades since we realize what a mistake that was,musicians listened to her and otis redding, but the rock world of white teens did not if you doubt me go watch the film on woodstock and see how many people of color make up the audience, how many african american bands played there. so the impact arthea had on music in 67 was limited.i would have added moody blues days of future past instead ,because it like the doors , hendrix,velvet underground,cream and beatles changed and influenced rock for at least the next few years till around 71, my favorite was traffic's first in all its forms. ,i simply loved that record,as much today as in 67.also all those bands played around multiple times live in LA,except the beatles of course.this was a great list and yes i still don,t own that aretha album haha but after your review i,ll look for it, and im not saying she was not worthy,clearly she was ,but in 67,the doors first was a debut like no other ,it was played everywhere,and the long version of light my fire is still powerful.i loved 1967,you just tapped on it but it was a giant year,i will say one thing ,thinking back a lot of blues bands played on bills,black blues bands, so maybe im all screwed up in my history of those years,i had a job at a factory and one night my black co worker was singing mo town so i started singing cream ,ect he was teasing me and i said i listen to black music,jimi hendrix ,well he about fell off his forklift laughing so hard ,he shouted hes not black , man --hahaha thanks cant wait for 1968 another year that may be as good or better than 67. also i would have added DONOVAN, (my opinion). Great video thanks so much.
In 67 we didn't have a FM station. The AM station KAFY played everything. By 67 they were even playing the hard and heavy stuff. I still think these are the best.
@@vinylrichie007 kppc out of pasadena,thats how i heard tapes of led zepplins first album,in december of that year, anyway there was a year of great music,chad and jeremys cabbages and kinks came out that year ,pretty rhings, and so on your list was great and good luck with 68.kppc was an AM station, i was mistaken ,an underground station,great as i remember it. have a good one.
Even if you're one of the three people on the planet who absolutely hates the Beatles, you have to give them credit for using their popularity to change things like the multiple versions of records for different countries. Because of the concept of the album they insisted it be released in the same version worldwide at the same time. Might want to check out Allan Sherman's video of Ringo (The Ballad of Ringo) parodying Lorne Greene's Ringo or Pop Hates the Beatles.
I showed my heroin addict ex friend heroin song and waiting for the man and he loved them lol, said he showed it to some rehab guy and he's like wow I've never heard that before.
Two thoughts: -elegance is simplicity and vice versa; and -Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields are pretty much outtake singles from Sgt. Pepper. As gret as the LP is, imagine it with those songs too. That would make it untouchable as the greatest album ever
Richie. Good job and some very great music. And you have the guts to admit you didn't get into the Velvet's Banana yet but you were very young so understandable. I guess I have to admit I don't like Aretha Franklin's vocals or songs much. The albums from 1967 I would add are "Buffalo Springfield Again" and Art Lee's Love "Forever Changes". I agree that Jimi's Axis Bold i great. On England's Experience, what did the heck could they substitute for Purple Haze or the Wind Cries Mary.
I love Aretha’s vocals on her late 60’s albums. By the early 70’s she began to lose me. Too much hootin’ and hollerin’. To be honest not many got into the Velvet Underground in the 60’s. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
@@vinylrichie007 I suppose there are few if any artists I like purely for their vocals as it has to come with the overall sound I like. Many songs by the Velvets I don't like if too experimental or raw but Sunday Morning and There She Goes Again I immediately liked.
Mr Fantasy is a great album. Don’t lick the stamps Disraeli Gears another top shelf album. The song you spelled out I use to try to pronounce it. (Swab-ler). You are right about Are You Experienced. It’s so FN awesome. You showed 10 killers.
Every album a great choice. Are You Experienced blew my head off at the time and cemented my transition to hippiedom. I still remember the first time I heard it in a little coffeehouse in upstate NY. It occurred to me recently, when I’m streaming music randomly, that I don’t fast forward through most any song by the Doors. They MAYBE made 2 bad songs in their career with Morrison. Unlike you, I am a fan of The End. Took me somewhere, lol.
@@vinylrichie007 Kung Fu was a great TV show. I found the box set and have been watching it for weeks. I had never seen it before. I grew up in a place that did not get TV.
FYI Nico does not sing Sunday Morning. It's sung by Lou Reed, who is trying to sound like a girl. He was trying to prove they didn't need Nico in the band.
I didn't know that. I think he proved the point.
Yes Lou was right. I wish he had sung I'll Be Your Mirror too.
Nico sang it not Lou
@@lastnamefirst4035 She sang three songs on the album: I'll Be Your Mirror, Femme Fatale and All Tomorrows Parties, NOT Sunday Morning

Awesome 1967 top 10 Choices.
Thanks for watching.
Love these best of segments and they're NOT too long at all. I ended up playing what Lps I had for 1966. You've inspired another night of spinning 1967 on the TT!
One of the reasons I like doing these is pulling out the records and giving them a listen.
Richie - you got it goin', man! I like your 60's lists. You have the best VC videos. No sweat, no drama. I see eye to eye on a lot of the music you cover. Keep it up, bro!

I'm looking forward to listening to some 68 records.
-- Greetings from Mexico City!
Thanks for watching.
1967 for rock was like 1959 for jazz , you can not go wrong , great list here !
I think 11-20 for 1967 is better than the top ten for 1965 and 1966.
@@vinylrichie007 Big Buffalo Springfield fan ?

Hey Richie, love the 67 top ten can’t argue one choice they were all great albums. , Cheers Snowy
Thanks Snowy
13th Floor Elevators Easter Everywhere should have been on the list. Such a killer album. Thank you for sharing your amazing list .
There are a lot of albums that should have been on the list. I thought for sure Red Krayola would make the list.
Great picks, Rich! Can't dispute that Top 5, bro!
Thanks for watching.
Mitchell, baker, and moon. My favorite drummers from that era!
Nick Mason also rules
Mitchell, Baker and Moon are my favorites by far.
Piper at the gates of Dawn is my favorite Pink Floyd album
Probably mine.

Another great list! I would’ve joined in after you but I started doing these over a year ago and I’m currently on 1993! We had very similar lists this year but in a different order! 👍🤘🤘
I started watching yours. It turns out I had watched some but not others.
More brilliant picks Richie. Definitely some of the most important psych rock records coming out in 1967.
I left some of my favorite albums off this list.
Great stuff mate, enjoyed it
Thanks for watching.
The Who Sell Out, Younger Than Yesterday, Surrealistic Pillow, Forever Changes, Strange Days. All would be tough for me to leave off. Lot of ties or make it a top 20. Glad you found your Lennon stamps.
It actually was tough to leave all those off.
I tried to do 66, not enough so I did look at 67 which you now showed all of my 67 albums. Seriously I had all 10 of these but not sure what else. I will look deeper into it. Actually, if I use jazz I just may have this. Very enjoyable, I may repeat a lot of this but I plan to do it. I will make mine longer then your so no worries.
There are a couple of good Jazz albums in 67 but Jazz won’t make my list for a few more years.
Sometimes you can be so profound: "It is a top 10 list, you can only have 10." Great list.
So often I see top ten lists and they fifteen or so.
Once again I find myself agreeing with you on the #1 pick. Not that I know enough records from the year 1967 but still.
That Jimi Hendrix two in one LP sure came handy for this. Cheers!
I need to get the gatefold of Axis Bold As Love.
i would love to see a 1970 vid. great albums from that year, Paranoid, Let it be, All things must pass, Bridge over Troubled Water, zeppelin 3, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs,Deep Purple in Rock,John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band,Signed, Sealed & Delivered
My 1970 will be one of my next videos. I know it has been a month but I would like to thank you for watching.

I consider Are You Experienced the most shocking debut album in history.
It shocked me upon my first listen. GI by the Germs in 79 did the same thing.
I like that you don't mind buying new reissues, i hate discussions about what release of album xy they have and why it might be much better then this or that. Shoutout to you, i like your videos👍
I recently watched a video about Joni Mitchell's Blue. They were talking about how great the new reissue is. He then pulled out eight more different versions of the same record. I turned it off. Boring. I can't imagine never being happy with a copy of the record that I have. It is a bit neurotic.
@@vinylrichie007 i totally agree with you. Although in the hifi scene i like those discussions because with the money i have (as a student) i want to get the best for my money. I get it that some people collect vinyl like historic products, but i really cannot listen to debates why this pressing with that specific label and this or that written in the deadwax is several times more worth having than the recent reissue. In the end records were and are produced to have a medium with music on it that you can play and listen to. We should care more about the music then the pressing, you know what i mean? Sorry if my english is not that good, i'm from switzerland and maybe my 1 to 1 translation in my head isnt always right.
@@lr2475 Your translation is fine. The music is most important.
The greatest ever debut album by a solo artist, Laura Nyro's 'More Than a New Discovery', spawning 4 major hits including And When I Die, Wedding Bell Blues, Stoney End and Blowin' Away. The album is honoured in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Nyro wrote the songs aged 16, recorded it when she was 18. A genius level singer/songwriter. She performed at Monterey Pop aged 19, in between The Byrds and Jefferson Airplane. Her 1968 and 1969 albums are mindblowing - songwriting so far ahead of the game.
The Monterey film is the first exposure I had to Laura Nyro.
@@vinylrichie007 I bought my first album in 1971, but I only discovered Laura 5 years ago when I found her debut in an antiques store sitting by itself on a sideboard!
Solid picks Richie. I think I agree with every record.
Thanks for watching.
Was waiting for Moby Grape’s debut. Killer pop album. Great list.
I think Surrealistic Pillow is most likely #11.
I did buy the Lou Reed & Nico album when it came out. Was in The City one day, saw it and bought it. I liked it, my friends thoughts went from dislike to hate.
It didn’t sell very well at all. It took me about 12 years before I got it. Thanks for watching and happy new year.
Awesome series Richie! No Surrealistic Pillow? One of my all time favorites.
I thought it was going to make it. Turned out it was #11.
Damn good albums! :)
Thanks for watching.
I've thought long and hard and mine would be:
1. Forever Changes - Love
2. Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles
3. Sgt. Peppers - The Beatles
4. The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn - Pink Floyd
5. Surrealistic Pillow - Jefferson Airplane
6. Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix
7. The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion - The Incredible String Band
8. The Doors - The Doors
9. Disraeli Gears - Cream
10. Mr Fantasy - Traffic
That's leaving out some absolute classics too, truly the best ever year for music.
That is a great list. I’m not that familiar with The Incredible String Band.
@@vinylrichie007 They're a bit of an acquired taste, psychedelic freak folk band from Scotland, they were quite popular in the UK the album I included here got to 5 on the album charts in 67 in UK I believe.
Yeay!! Good t see ISB on a list 👍
@@cavewaller Thanks if anything I'm surprised I have them so low on this 10 revisiting.
@@fantasypgatour it’s a solid an very fair list. I own every album but one; (vinyl an cd) but!!
Not the Airplane. I only bought cd about a week ago an had never listened to this classic album in full until last week.
So many great records came out that year, but you certainly included some of the best.
Love the Doors debut.Piper, Axis ( my favourite too).
Disraeli Gears has such an amazing cover artwork.Very iconic and typical of the era.
Thought you may have included The Byrds Younger Than Yesterday, love that one.
Pepper is worthy of a top spot, although I've heard it so many times, I probably favour Magical Mystery Tour to be honest.
Your Mother Should know is a special song .My mum always requests my brother and I play it on the guitars at Xmas!. Ha ha..wanker song!!.
Moms tend to like the wanker dongs. I think the Byrds may return in 68 but not sure. I was sure Surrealistic Pillow would have made this top ten.
My copy of Are You Experienced is weird, it's a mono cover, with a stereo record inside and there is just a sticker on the front of the cover that says stereo
It sounds like that would be an early press. Either before they printed the stereo cover or they ran out.
Great list Richie. The Who Sell Out has some great stuff as well.
Thanks for watching.
Strong 2&3 prolly my 1&2. I can’t argue your list though Richie. Great job.
Love Jimi. He was a game changer but so was Sgt. Pepper.
I checked out kitty’s shirt.
I think I'm going to have to listen to my copy of cream album desolate gears.,lol it is a good one Richie, I finally got a chance to finish this video. I started watching it earlier and my wife found all kinds of shit for me to do around here...lol
The wife always finds things for me to do as soon as I start doing what I want to do.
I loved this video and I do notice all the cool comments that you post in the vinyl community. That last time I listened to The Banana Album, which was recently, I also noticed the similarities between Lou Reed's voice and Nico's voice. I'd say that I like them both. I thought your best of 1967 that you showed was good.
(1) Are You Experienced?
(2) Days of Future Passed
(3) The Velvet Underground and Nico
(4) Disraeli Gears
(5) The Doors
(6) Insight Out
(7) Time Has Come
(8) Incense And Peppermints
(9) Magical Mystery Tour
(10) Between The Buttons
H.M. Headquarters
.........Deliver
I no longer have Days Of Future Past. I need to change that because it is great. Thanks for the comment.
17:20 "I find in art, and in life, simple is better..." spoken like Kurt Vonnegut.
If there is only one thing people take from this video it is that very line.
Does the Giles Martin Pepper compare to the Mono reissues or OG Mono, which ware both pretty impossibly expensive now? Love some Syd era Floyd!
I also love Syd Barrett Pink Floyd. I’ve never compared the Giles mix to the mono. I’ve heard audiophiles and Beatle fanatics praise the mono version. I prefer stereo.
@@vinylrichie007 awesome! I'll def check out the Giles mix, which is still readily available. The mono, even on CD, is damn near impossible to find without spending a small fortune.
Hi Richie- a great video and I can’t really argue with your ranking- Sgt Pepper is definitely the best of the year and I love the Doors debut. Only one album missing which should be in the top 5 and that is the Who’s “Who sell out” albeit it was released December 67. Really enjoyed watching this one - Cheers Bill
The Who Sell Out almost made it. Same as Surrealistic Pillow. I think 11 thru 20 for 1967 could be just as good as 1 thru 10 for 1966.
@@vinylrichie007 totally agree 67 was a HUGE year for groundbreaking original music!
Hey! I jumped in on 1980
I’ll get to 80.
I'd have to include Forever Changes by Love. It's one of my favorite albums of all time. A House Is Not A Motel is my favorite cut with great guitar solos by Johnny Echols. To say the least, Arthur Lee had a unique way of looking at the world.
I like Forever Changes and it is one that I considered long and hard.
@@vinylrichie007 Criminal to not have it here has to be said, good calls otherwise though.
sad that Surrealistic Pillow didn't make the cut - maybe you could add some honorable mentions after the 10 or before you announce the number 1
I'm surprised Surrealistic Pillow didn't make it. I've thought about making a video about the albums that almost made the list.
The Balin ballads are fantastic
@7:15 - You are correct. The US version of Piper had See Emily Play on it and left off Astronomy Domine, Flaming and Bike. Such a shame since the first two are so awesome.
That is unfortunate.
There is a cd release of Mr Fantasy that has both the US and Uk versions of the album.
I have that CD.
Ok, here goes my top ten '67:
1. The Beatles - Sgt Pepper (I guess you have to!)
2. Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
3. The Kinks - Something Else
4. Captain Beefheart - Safe as Milk
5. Small Faces - Small Faces (The first Immediate album)
6. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced and Axis Bold as Love (both of them.. 😉)
7. The Incredible String Band - 5000 Spirits
8. The Monkees - More of the Monkees (Oh yes! - I have no shame!)
9. Cream - Disraeli Gears
10. The Who - Sell Out
👍👍👍
Take care all!
The first four Monkees albums are good.
@@vinylrichie007 that’s my fave of The Monkees.. 😉
Update of my Top Ten '67:
(I missed out several great albums…)
1. The Beatles - Sgt Pepper
2. Pink Floyd - Piper
3. The Kinks - Something Else
4. The Doors - Strange Days
5. Captain Beefheart - Safe as Milk
6. The Velvet Underground - White Light White Heat
7. Small Faces - Small Faces (The first Immediate album)
8. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced and Axis
9. The Who - Sell Out
10. Cream - Disraeli Gears
👍👍👍
@@danstewart8218 The Doors moved right into the top five.
@@vinylrichie007 Yeah - I completely forgot about the Doors ! It’s not easy.
I thought that this was going to be weeks from now!
A bunch of good picks.
It was going to be. I got the list done quickly.
67 was a great year for music. Crazy that Velvet Underground album came out the same year as Sgt. Pepper.
Never thought of that but it is crazy.
Hey Rich, nice list. Personally my #1would have been VU and Nico. although i didn't get it at first, either-then it hit me hard! I'll def check out the traffic album. never heard that one.
It took me about 12 years to fall in love with Velvet Underground and Nico. I know it has been 2 months but I would like to thank for watching,
@@vinylrichie007 I try to watch em all- good content.👍
I also like that Giles pressing.
I’ve heard some complain but it is so clear.
wow! Those are ten classic albums. Those could be a solid overall top ten for all time. Or close to it. It's hard to argue with anything you've said. I may try to do a response but would leave out jazz this time (I had to include jazz in 65 because I didn't have enough great rock albums lol). It's a great thread!
Jazz will make an appearance in some of the upcoming years. Thanks for watching.
Did you know that the original US pressing of Piper at the gates of dawn included “see Emily play” which it was released as a single in the UK
I did not know that. That would be cool to track down. If I remember right it was on Tower Records.
Beatles had Two 4 Track machines for most Sgt Peppers. It was recorded on "4 Track", but they synchronized two of them together. That's how Giles Martin was able to separate all those instruments into a great sounding stereo mix. He had access to the tracks before they were bounced over to the other 4 track machine.
I didn’t know that but that makes a lot of sense.
Great list man! what happened to your OG copy of Axis Bold as love?
The ex stole it.
I grew up in the 60's , what a great decade for music, I had all those albums except Aretha Franklin ,
Late 60’s is my favorite time for music. I do like a lot of the 70’s too. I was 11 in 67. I didn’t start going to concerts until 1971. Thanks for watching.
@@vinylrichie007 I was 15 in 67, carried a radio around and sat on the wall at the end of my road listening to music, great memories
Bro, you are frigg'n Hilarious! :D BTW, FWIW, I'm not usually a mono guy and especially not for the Psychedelic era. Even though 'Audiophiles' claim that for example the mono version of Axis, Bold as Love is SO much better, sorry, I just love all the neat channel to channel trippy stuff on the stereo version, and the same with Revolver. BUT... I guess the original mono master for Disraeli Gears was **SO** much better than the stereo one, that the recent Abbey Road 1/2 speed mono remaster done by Miles Showell is actually pretty dang good! It is the only real mono album I have out of about 2400 vinyl albums, so I thought I'd throw that out there.
With Axis there is no way I would pick mono over stereo. When the Ramones debut 40th anniversary album came out in mono I picked it up. I thought if anything would sound better in mono it would be the Ramones. I think the stereo is better.
@@vinylrichie007 Well, if you ever get a chance to listen to that mono master that Showell did of Disraeli Gears, you will be impressed my friend. And again, this is from someone who normally does not care for mono recordings since my entire system is designed with a very open, completely dipole multi-driver tall array soundstage.
@@latheofheaven I will try and find one.
@@vinylrichie007 I wish you success with that. The prices are really going up since I bought it...
isnt that the only album in music history that has music videoes to every single track? 8.05 , correct me if im wrong. for instance, Penny Lane, strawberry fields forever, the fool on the hill, im the walrus,all u need is love, your mother should know, flying etc
I’m not sure. The music in Magical Mystery Tour is great. Though the film is a boring mess. I know it has been a month but I’d like to thank you for watching.
Beatles MMT was not an album in UK, itt was a double EP. They only changed it to match US a few years later.
It was an album in the US so I included it.
Great list! LOL on Pet Sounds, Totally agree. I will never understand why that album is celebrated so much.
Half of Pet Sounds is really good but the other half is a downer and quite frankly boring.
Strange album. Love some of it, but there are a few tracks that sound like they should have been the b-sides of singles. I Know There's An Answer and I Just Wasn't Made For These Times are really annoying songs for me, even if they're both critics' favourites.
The only one I don’t have that you’ve shown is the Velvet Underground’s album, and Aretha’s Love all the rest! Great picks 🙂
The Aretha is available in print on mono. Get it, you won’t regret it!
@@ffyddgobaithcariad9923 thank You, Appreciate it, and will check it out
The Velvet Underground is not for everyone. That may Aretha's best. I don't go past the early 70's with Aretha.
@@vinylrichie007 I will definitely look for her. Great collection you have my friend 😊
67 great year for rock.Should of made top 25 list! 😆 Great year for cars,i had 67 rs camaro.
I had a 68 Malibu.
hey man, love the list ...do you own an 1967 album that i personally think was a damn good release, pices, aquarius, capricorn and jones ltd by the monkees. released in november 1967.
I do own Pieces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones. I have the first five Monkees albums. They are all good. I have Changes and it is not very good.
@@vinylrichie007 yes agree with 1970s changes album, head soundtrack has some of the monkees best work. i own 7 of your top 10 1967 albums. cheers.
Here's a thought: get Traffic's Mr. Fantasy on CD. You get both US and UK versions. Alternate mixes and solos too.
I have it.
So many damn good albums from a damn good year. Moody Blues' Days of future Passed and Sly and the Family Stone's A Whole New Thing two of my favourites from that year too! Motown totally tore up their rulebook on making soul and RnB the moment Sly hit them with tracks like Trip to your Heart and Underdog.
The Moody Blues album is really good. Sly had a major influence. His best albums were yet to come.
@@vinylrichie007 very true. Hope Stand! Stands somewhere in your top 10 picks of 1969 😄 as does at least one of the albums from the Moodies that year....
The Cream LP is a true classic, for sure. But my #1 record of 1967 is Jefferson Airplane's After Bathing At Baxter's. It's a psychedelic masterpiece. I think it's the best music they ever produced.
I like After Bathing At Baxter’s but I think I like Surrealistic Pillow more.
The VCs dieing is it? I wouldn't know I do my own thing. I don't come out of my VC cave that often Pat... 67 was an incredible year for music. Van Morrison has my fav Van song on his 1967 album Blowin' Your Mind, TB Sheets the songs called. Astral weeks was in 67 too, that one's a MONSTER. In 1967 kids got introduced to the Blues with Albert Kings Born Under A Bad Sign, that would be in there for me. Electric music for The Mind by Country Joe and Days of Future passed were in 67 too. Music for your head. Groovin' by The Young Rascals is a fav album of mine from 67. I can't quibble with your choices except maybe the Velvet Underground album. I'm not a Nico fan... In 67 R&B was dead, bubblegum shit was on the wane and goody two shoes pop singles were getting replaced by some hard core rock. The AM radio station directors weren't afraid to play it anymore. We didn't have a FM rock station until 69.... I'll tell you a funny story about that Hendrix are you experienced album. In 1967 when that album came out we chopped up an ounce of Speed on it with a razor blade. Speed had lots of crystals in it back then. The Purple dye came off the album and made the speed a purpley mauve color. We hit it or sold it anyhow. LOL.. I ran into a guy at my Bar 8 or 9 years ago and somehow the conversation ended up about the great drugs of the 60s. The dude mentioned one time doing the best speed in his life and the color of it was purple. LOL... Yep he bought that speed off of us some 50 years ago. We had quite the laugh when I told him why the speed was purple... LOL.. Come to think of it it might of been in 68 that purple speed not 67. I wasn't hitting in 67, I was in 68... yeah the summer of Love 1967. It was a very good year let me tell you. There was a different vibe going on. It didn't last long though. Charly Manson and Altamont killed that in 69, we lost our innocence....
That speed was purple haze. I was 11 in 67 so I was aware but didn’t really know what was going on. For me that happened in 71.
You are right the AM stations started playing heavier music.
@@vinylrichie007 Speed was conspiracy city. LOL
@@vinylrichie007 Expressly for "Heads"...

I have 9 out of the 10. Missing the Aretha album. Never seen it in the wild. I heard she did not get along with the Muscle Shoals people. Atlantic should have sent here to Stax.
That may be Aretha's best. I like her late 60's early 70's albums. After that she hoots and hollers too much.
Hey Richie. I got an extra SUBURBAN LAWNS record from Superior Viaduct records. Let me know if you would like it.
I have an original. At least I think it is the same record.
@@vinylrichie007 Then it goes to Mona in Visalia. I wonder why I got 2 of them ?

Great choices . I agree with your comments about The End . It would have been better as a much shorter song . I like their epic on Strange Days , When the Music's Over , much better . Cheers !
When The Music’s Over is s better song.
Pepper all the way, right on Rich...people have been waffling on for years about Revolver, Rubber Soul, even Abbey Road but Sgt. Pepper's was the game changer. Nice list, got all of them in the collection myself except for Pink Floyd (well Velvet Underground I only have on CD). What the heck does Swalbr mean anyway, killer song but I can never remember that weird name. Cheers!

@@blaster1093 She was a super freak.
I liked Surrealistic Pillow in 1967 by Jefferson Airplane.
A great album.
Brain farts are part of getting old Richie...lol
Yes they are.
Good list! I saw an hour long discussion by Howard Goodall the composer on Sgt Peppers Musical Revolution and he pointed up the way the LP used different musical styles/eras , and made a strong case that George Martin definitely was the 'fifth Beatle' on this one; also that Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane belong on the LP and its a shame they released those songs as a double A side 45 instead.
Can you imagine side two starting with Strawberry Fields Forever and then Penny Lane? The Beatles would not have been what they were without George Martin. That said, George Martin wouldn't have been what he was without The Beatles. They were a perfect match.
Nice. 19.5 minutes but you didn't even finish yer beer! I guess you were talkin' so I'll give you a break.
The beer wasn't that good.
I love the VU album it's almost proto punk in some ways for me. It's raw and experimental. I also really like early Floyd with Syd Barret. After that the band becomes too commercial / corporate rock. The Doors debut is classic. My fave is the cover of whiskey bar
The Velvet Underground was too raw for me at the time.
Lou Reed is singing Sunday morning.. I heard he recorded the vocals in the toilet.
He sounds like Nico. Funny.
Randy Weaver from Ruby Ridge??.
I don’t think so.
@@vinylrichie007 I had heard he had a n incredibly record collection, alonhg with other...stuff!
I love She Walks Like a Bearded Rainbow. Too bad it's not included on my Cream compilation CD. I'm gonna need to find a 2 disc comp soon.
I like Cream but the comp with the vegetables on the cover is still my favorite.
@@vinylrichie007 My dad has that one!
If an ale is pale, there’s something definitely wrong with it. I actually found that velvet underground record at goodwill, original pressing too. No banana sticker but I don’t mind.
My local record store had one last summer with half a banana for over $100. Not a pale ale fan.
wonderful choice and i agree with all but one,now this is only my opinion but the world of rock in 1967 embraced all these records all were number ones ,except one, aretha franklin,in 67 the music scene was busting wide open and if you were young and hip and white you listened to rock and psych,i never bought or listened to , and neither did anyone else i knew listen to aretha's music,it was not played on cool underground stations,it just wasn't, now in the decades since we realize what a mistake that was,musicians listened to her and otis redding, but the rock world of white teens did not if you doubt me go watch the film on woodstock and see how many people of color make up the audience, how many african american bands played there. so the impact arthea had on music in 67 was limited.i would have added moody blues days of future past instead ,because it like the doors , hendrix,velvet underground,cream and beatles changed and influenced rock for at least the next few years till around 71, my favorite was traffic's first in all its forms.
,i simply loved that record,as much today as in 67.also all those bands played around multiple times live in LA,except the beatles of course.this was a great list and yes i still don,t own that aretha album haha but after your review i,ll look for it, and im not saying she was not worthy,clearly she was ,but in 67,the doors first was a debut like no other ,it was played everywhere,and the long version of light my fire is still powerful.i loved 1967,you just tapped on it but it was a giant year,i will say one thing ,thinking back a lot of blues bands played on bills,black blues bands, so maybe im all screwed up in my history of those years,i had a job at a factory and one night my black co worker was singing mo town so i started singing cream ,ect he was teasing me and i said i listen to black music,jimi hendrix ,well he about fell off his forklift laughing so hard ,he shouted hes not black , man --hahaha thanks cant wait for 1968 another year that may be as good or better than 67. also i would have added DONOVAN, (my opinion). Great video thanks so much.
In 67 we didn't have a FM station. The AM station KAFY played everything. By 67 they were even playing the hard and heavy stuff. I still think these are the best.
@@vinylrichie007 kppc out of pasadena,thats how i heard tapes of led zepplins first album,in december of that year, anyway there was a year of great music,chad and jeremys cabbages and kinks came out that year ,pretty rhings, and so on your list was great and good luck with 68.kppc was an AM station, i was mistaken ,an underground station,great as i remember it. have a good one.

SF Sorrow made the list. Rewatch.
@@vinylrichie007 ok
Even if you're one of the three people on the planet who absolutely hates the Beatles, you have to give them credit for using their popularity to change things like the multiple versions of records for different countries. Because of the concept of the album they insisted it be released in the same version worldwide at the same time. Might want to check out Allan Sherman's video of Ringo (The Ballad of Ringo) parodying Lorne Greene's Ringo or Pop Hates the Beatles.
I will check out that video.
I showed my heroin addict ex friend heroin song and waiting for the man and he loved them lol, said he showed it to some rehab guy and he's like wow I've never heard that before.
I do agree with Axis. Gets lost on most
Axis was the one I owned first and played the most.
I was going to do 1966 but it was to close to your list. I think I'll do this years, a few different ones on my list.
I think there will be more variety in our lists in the 70's.
Two thoughts:
-elegance is simplicity and vice versa; and
-Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields are pretty much outtake singles from Sgt. Pepper. As gret as the LP is, imagine it with those songs too. That would make it untouchable as the greatest album ever
Richie. Good job and some very great music. And you have the guts to admit you didn't get into the Velvet's Banana yet but you were very young so understandable. I guess I have to admit I don't like Aretha Franklin's vocals or songs much. The albums from 1967 I would add are "Buffalo Springfield Again" and Art Lee's Love "Forever Changes". I agree that Jimi's Axis Bold i great. On England's Experience, what did the heck could they substitute for Purple Haze or the Wind Cries Mary.
I love Aretha’s vocals on her late 60’s albums. By the early 70’s she began to lose me. Too much hootin’ and hollerin’. To be honest not many got into the Velvet Underground in the 60’s. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
@@vinylrichie007 I suppose there are few if any artists I like purely for their vocals as it has to come with the overall sound I like. Many songs by the Velvets I don't like if too experimental or raw but Sunday Morning and There She Goes Again I immediately liked.
@@oppothumbs1 John Lennon and Mick Jagger are my favorite 60’s singers.
Make a top 10 of wanker songs! 🙂
That could be a series.
Mr Fantasy is a great album. Don’t lick the stamps Disraeli Gears another top shelf album. The song you spelled out I use to try to pronounce it. (Swab-ler). You are right about Are You Experienced. It’s so FN awesome. You showed 10 killers.
I wish I had some stamps to lick. Cream and Jimi Hendrix were so hard and heavy.
Every album a great choice. Are You Experienced blew my head off at the time and cemented my transition to hippiedom. I still remember the first time I heard it in a little coffeehouse in upstate NY.
It occurred to me recently, when I’m streaming music randomly, that I don’t fast forward through most any song by the Doors. They MAYBE made 2 bad songs in their career with Morrison. Unlike you, I am a fan of The End. Took me somewhere, lol.
I think the Doors debut is better than Strange Days but I like When The Music’s Over morel than The End. Once Axis Bold As Love came out I was hooked.
i love the end too
