Sun Ra - Magic City
13th Floor Elavators - The Psychedelic Sounds of
both fucking amazing
Love is the best album on that list for mine...of any year really.
5th dimension is also gold.
I heard that Baby Lemonade, The Band that toured with Aurthur Lee as "LOVE", are now cashing in, calling themselves The New Love Band. I heard in their time together he freaked them out because he started taking acid again. R.I.P.
The Butterfield Blues Band's East-West is great. 1966.
pretty much the best time ever to be a living human, maybe.
The first Easybeats LP
That was 1965.
wrong, walrus. your super arsefuck internet database factory is wrong. the lp is next to me and is clearly labelled '(p) 1966 alberts productions'.

If you followed the saga you would've read that lee became a crip and started threatening the band members and their families.
but that doesn't give them the license to take the love name. what a pack of overweight bearded guitar-shredding fucks.
werent they justifying it cause johnny ecoles (sp?) played with them for a while?
you must have a later pressing. Easy was released in 65.
provide evidence, waldick.
The Psychotic Reaction album is solid from start to finish
your super arsefuck internet database factory is wrong
Bahahaha
Q65 - REVOLUTION
Fuck!
UBU WINS

In September the first LP Easy was released and rapidly became one of the best-selling albums of 1965.
mondo, see here: http://www.albertmusic.com/easybeats/discography/easyalbums.htm
says september 1965. for my mind, there's a lot of filler on that album anyway. 'i'm a madman' stands out as awesome though.
The Missing Links - S/T
http://www.allmusic.com/ says Easy - 1965
Also says not available outside Australia until the 1990s. Interesting factoid.
The Butterfield Blues Band's East-West LP? Good choice. Been looking for it for ages.
i saw it the other day as a two-fer with their self-titled debut album. their version of cannonball adderley's work song is fantastic.
i was born in 65 and 66 was a great year for being a baby. lots of good music to christen your ears with.
pretty sure "uncut" had an edition dedicated to 1966, the greatest year in rock 'n roll history, not too long ago.
small faces- small faces
One of the best years of music ever. If I had a time machine.....
I take this back - this is a killer album most of the way through.
