If anyone was in doubt that 1967 was not a technicolour psychedelic dream, I present the evidence for the accused. 

Lighting the fire was the debut album 'The Doors' followed by Jefferson Airplane 'Surrealistic Pillow'; 'The Velvet Underground & Nico'; Jimi Hendrix 'Are You Experienced'; 'Sgt. Peppers'; Pink Floyd 'The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn'; Beach Boys 'Smiley Smile'; Strawberry Alarm Clock 'Incense and Peppermints'; Love 'Forever Changes'; Cream 'Disraeli Gears; The Moody Blues 'Days Of Future Passed'; The Rolling Stones 'Their Satanic Majesties Request'; Traffic 'Mr Fantasy'; & The Beatles 'Magical Mystery Tour' ! 

I further bring to your attention an earlier indication of things to come with this excellent 20 minute video of British single releases in the October of 1966. [click here] Containing some great footage and a number of less well known records. The Wolves in particular ! 

'Psychedelia' - The term was first coined as a noun in 1956 by psychiatrist Humphry Osmond as an alternative descriptor for hallucinogenic drugs in the context of psychedelic psychotherapy. 

The phrase 'psychedelic' was coined in music terms with 'The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators ' in 1966. 

"I rest my case, m'lud"

To the music, an unfamiliar track until once again heard on an episode of 'Heartbeat'. From October 1967 on their ‘Try It’ album, the American garage band The Standells with Side two, track two: ‘Did You Ever Have That Feeling’ >

The video is very psychedelic - and might blow your mind a bit - so you may want to wait till later in the day to watch, rather than first thing in the morning 😉
