We start with an absolute classic from The Beatles, performing You've Got To Hide Your Love Away from their second film Help! (Walter Shenson Films/United Artists 1965), which features on their fifth UK LP Help! (Parlophone 1965)
The Flower Pot Men were an English pop group created in 1967 as a result of the single "Let's Go to San Francisco", recorded by session musicians, which became a major UK Top 20 and Continental Europe hit in the autumn of 1967. And here is Let's Go To San Francisco (Deram 7" 1967), a classic of its period
The Open Mind was an English psychedelic rock band formed in London, and active in the 1960s and 1970s who released two singles and one LP. This is their second single, Magic Potion (Philips 7" 1969).
One of my favourite bands of the 90s was The Sundays, and here's their excellent cover version of The Rolling Stones track Wild Horses, the b-side of their fourth single Goodbye (Parlophone/DGC all formats 1992), also released on the US version of their second LP Blind (Parlophone/DGC 1992). It is sad but indicative that this was the best song on the entire album, which didn't capture the glory of their debut, though they returned to form with their third and last LP.
I must admit I'm not a fan of Genesis, particularly when Peter Gabriel was their singer, prog rock not being a genre I like at all, though I like Gabriel's solo material (particularly his third LP). However, I like these two songs, Ripples, from their seventh studio LP A Trick of the Tail (Charisma 1976), and Undertow, from their ninth studio LP ...And Then There Were Three... (Charisma 1978). Until next week ...
