Hearing about Paul's latest collaboration has made me go into 1965 early doors, anything to avoid the c**p of 2015!!
I'm starting with Them's debut LP which wasn't actually released until June 1965.
That, The Pretty Things' debut (March 1965) and 'Beatles For Sale' should make up, for the time being anyway, for the non-appearance of the Stones' 2nd LP (15th January 1965).....will it ever be officially reissued?
oldbrownshoe:
Hmmm, might have to have a re-think about this 1965 business.
If you factor in folk, modern jazz, experimental music, soundtracks AND the greatest pop music ever made (Beatles, Stones, Dylan) you could be listening to albums exclusively from 1965 from now until 2030!!!
Check out the list of 1,000 1965 LPs(I kid you not) on the rateyourmusic.com site. It's incredible what was bubbling under The Beatles et al.
Point blank.....'Now! That's What I Call The Golden Age.'

Saturday morning is always 'Sounds of the 60s' with Brian Matthew (now 86 but sounding exactly like he did 55 years ago!).
As for 1965.....
Them's first LP just might be the greatest of all the R 'n' B albums put out in the mid-60s.
The confidence and authority of Van Morrison was all there with his very first record.
The Pretty Thing's debut is far more hit and miss (it sounds like it was recorded in about 10 different studios) but, like The Rolling Stones, it has a charm and ramshackle quality that gets more acceptable and enjoyable with every listen.

The Pretty Things are my 2nd favorite band of all time, but their debut and even 'Get The Picture' are their weakest efforts in my opinion. I hardly ever break out the debut. They didn't start going until 'Emotions' in my opinion.
