Even more rare this song was being played in a movie starring a 19 yr. old Helen Mirren and James Mason in 1969.

Cool album collection! I’ve got some of these albums.
Nice collection of …
Nice collection of records from the 60′s era and aside from obvious top 40 hits that have been played time and again on oldies or nostalgia radio stations, I am quite unfamiliar with the ‘baroque pop’ or ‘sunshine pop’ genres. The explanations given for each record and the background information provided of songs and groups is much appreciated. Thanks
Interesting vid. …
Interesting vid. But I’d like to mention that Tommy James and the Shondells went beyond “fairly popular” in that they were not only more than a one-hit wonder, but that one of their songs, “Mony-Mony” was covered by Billy Idol.
His version hit #1 in Britain and became a party standard of the 1980s.

Where can I find a down load for “Morning Girl” by the Neon Philhaemonic Orchestra, please?

Nice, but somebody, somehow, somewhere needs to upload Spanky And Our Gang’s 1969 song Anything You Choose. It can, and should, be done!!!!!

I certianly agree that Spanky and Our Gang was underated. They are one of my favorite groups. Thanks for posting.
Great job …
Great job myrecordcollection! Thanks for sharing.
I haven’t delved …
I haven’t delved into the lyrics much, but I’ll say The Free Design song Love You is (mind you, I love it) hilarious. It reminds me of the song My Favorite Things: a sort of puerile listing. It makes me wonder what’s in store from the rest of the genre. I think of Leonard Cohen as intellectual, not pop music. I’m sure even a cursory study may prove different, if not, I’ll assume the smartening up lies in the arrangements and melody. If you ever write that article, I would love to read it!
Sure! The Left …
Sure! The Left Banke were the “baroque pop” group par excellence in the 60s, but they were far from alone. Orchestral pop in general came as a response to the louder “rock,” and baroque pop was a sort of smartening-up of orchestral pop. Sometime I’d like to write an article about all of the academics and intellectuals who worked in 60s pop–there were quite a few.
After looking into …
After looking into The Free Design, I discovered yet another genre: baroque pop. I would love to see the bands of this musical label gathered together. Also, any of the handful of medieval/renaissance influenced bands as well.
thanks, man. this …
thanks, man. this is great.
Nice Collection of …
Nice Collection of Albums. I have collested 45′s since 1977. I have about 12,000 of them and close to 6,000 45 Picture sleeves. Oh, yea I do have many albums too
As a record …
As a record collector, I am totally impressed with the condition of these hard-to-find 60′s nuggest! Thank you for sharing these impressive finds with the world! Some of these I’ve never seen before, like Tommy James & the Shondells, Lemon Pipers, 1910 Fruitgum Co., etc. Everyone’s heard the music….wonderful to see the original LPs here!!! A++++++++
Yes and no. If I …
Yes and no. If I have the CD, chances are I’ll just play the CD rather than the record. If it’s not on CD, I’ll play the record in order to make a rip and then play the rip from then on. I love records but definitely find that the digital stuff is more convenient for me to play in my home, office, car, etc. Plus the more you play a record, the more you leave it open for potential damage.
Most of this stuff …
Most of this stuff is on CD in fact: Clique, Grass Roots, Blades of Grass, Rose Garden, etc. The trick is knowing where to look, because many of these CDs are imports that you just won’t find in your local chainstore.
Do you listen to …
Do you listen to all these records?
