The self penned debut single of the former Moody Blues lead singer & (future Wings) rhythm guitarist, sadly failed to trouble the charts despite featuring Trevor Burton (of the Move) on guitar, Viv Prince (of the Pretty Things) on drums. Half a decade later the lead singer of The Zombies would have a hit with a more melancholic orchestral version of this beat recording produced by Denny Cordell.

New Entries:-

Walker Brothers - WALKING IN THE RAIN :: A classy cover version of one of my favourite Wall of Sound recordings. The Walker Brothers retained Phil Spector's sound effects from the Ronettes' 1964 original, but Scott's baritone adds an extra dimension to the song. It was to be the Walker Brothers last UK hit before they split up.

Bob Dylan - LEOPARD-SKIN PILL-BOX HAT :: An adapted blues song which, rather unsubtly, pokes fun at the fashion industry. It was track 3 on his acclaimed "Blonde On Blonde" LP which was a year old by the time this single was released.

Bob Dylan - MOST LIKELY YOU GO YOUR WAY AND I'LL GO MINE :: The B-side, also taken from "Blonde On Blonde". It's about as upbeat as Dylan gets, and there's a properly funky Mark Ronson reworking of the track that's worth seeking out.

Monkees - I WANNA BE FREE :: I've sourced the Australian singles chart for this ballad. It's a Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart composition, sung by Davy Jones, and drawn from the band's debut LP.

12th May 1967


The Kinks grab a new Number One - now had I been doing some charts on here back in 64 then You Really Got Me would have topped, and possibly Sunny Afternoon. The Trems Four Seasons cover is up to 3, as the actual Four Seasons are at 9 (whatever the label says) and The Beach Boys oldie cover shoots up to 10. Highest new entry The Walker Brothers also cover and early 60's classic, at 33, just ahead of big climbs for Spanky & Our gang and Sonny & Cher. The original songs to later chart-toppers for me (Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Say You Don't Mind) and later hits (24 Sycamore and Here We Go Again) climb or enter, while The Staple Singers have a chart debut, and yet another old Monkees fave pops in too. Just waiting for Sgt Pepper eh? This chart could get VERY crowded....!

1 ( 2 ) WATERLOO SUNSET The Kinks
2 ( 1 ) DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE The Mamas & The Papas
3 ( 8 ) SILENCE IS GOLDEN The Tremeloes
4 ( 3 ) A LITTLE BIT ME A LITTLE BIT YOU The Monkees
