Something Else from the Move is a five-track live EP by the English pop band the Move, released on 21 June 1968 through Regal Zonophone. The Move established themselves with a series of singles that reached the top-five in the UK singles chart, generating hype for an album. After rumours about a live LP began circulating, the Move's manager Tony Secunda pitched an idea about recording an EP of live performances at the Marquee Club in central London. Reflecting the Move's setlist on stage, Something Else from the Move is exclusively made up of covers of songs by contemporary pop bands such as Love and 1950s singers such as Eddie Cochran. The EP has an eclectic blend between rockabilly and psychedelic music. - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fl065L5lSA&list=RD2Fl065L5lSA&start_radio=1 #TheMove #TheByrds #Psychedelia #EddieCochran #Music #Beat #Mod #BritishInvasion #SpookyTooth #JerryLeeLewis

Emotions is the third album by the English rock group The Pretty Things, released in 1967. Emotions Review by Matthew Greenwald The Pretty Things were one of the most underrated rhythm & blues bands to come out of the mid-60's British rock explosion. So well-loved by Brits, they were often thought of in the same breath as The Rolling Stones. And, like a lot of great rhythm & blues based groups to come put of England, they stepped somewhat uneasily into the precarious psychedelic music explosion. However, in all fairness, The Pretty Things did come up with a pretty fine and original album, Emotions. Superbly well-orchestrated (especially the gorgeous "The Sun," one of the album's standouts), The Pretty Things didn't lose sight of their R&B leanings, as tracks such as "There Will Never Be Another Day" show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_lYqTA-lj0&list=RDK_lYqTA-lj0&start_radio=1 #ThePrettyThings #Mod #Beat #Psychedelia #Music #BritishInvasion #1967

Get the Picture? was recorded quickly as a follow-up to Pretty Things' self-titled debut album. Jimmy Page cowrote the album's opening song "You Don’t Believe Me". AllMusic wrote that Get the Picture? was "a record that's just a few notches short of Rolling Stones level in the charisma department" and that "Pretty Things approach Rolling Stones' territory, and even in their off moments, they're flying at the same level as the Kinks' album tracks." Uncut, in a review of the band's studio albums box set, said that the album "showed they were eager to grow". - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbdsJO1fLMA&list=RDHbdsJO1fLMA&start_radio=1 #The PrettyThings #JimmyPage #GarageRock #BritishInvasion #Music

The Animals is the self-titled debut album by the British R&B/blues rock band the Animals. It was released in the United Kingdom on 6 November 1964 on EMI's Columbia Records Review by Bruce Eder The group's U.K. debut long-player, containing -- in the custom of the time in England -- not one of their singles up to that point, including "House of the Rising Sun." Apart from "Story of Bo Diddley" (which is, itself, heavily steeped in conventions out of Bo Diddley's repertory), everything here is a cover of traditional blues and R&B material, ..For adult orientation, The Animals is roughly on a par with the Rolling Stones' debut LP (though that album is also more fun). The group would do better in the future in a less stiff and intense posture, but this is a strong debut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okO1uWXICg0&list=PL42Yxei0XI0ETXbwmM8eoasNKHiIhXYGQ&index=1 #TheAnimals #EricBurdon #BeatmUsic #Mod #Blues #BritishInvasion #Music #DebutLP #AlanPrice
