Edit for headphones, June 2022. A song of the album "Everything Playing". This song has a giant bass sound, wow, wish there were more artists who did it this way...

BOREDOM
(John B. Sebastian)

boredom, hanging by myself in a bleak motel
over night in a small town

boredom, my mind's counting time, trucks go rolling by
pass the pumps and highway signs

never was a place that felt less like home
never would I've come here if I'd only known

that it's a one-channel town and I'm all alone
I can't just sit and watch my telephone
'cause no one knows my number and it can't be found
and there's no good people just kicking around
so here we are together, machines and me
I feel about as local as a fish in a tree

and it's boredom, my mind's counting time, trucks go rolling by
pass the pumps and highway signs

and in this town all the other sounds have ceased
and the late late show died long ago
with the few words from a priest

boredom, hanging by myself in a bleak motel
over night in a small town

Edit for headphones. A live performance on the BBC television program "Monster Music Mash" in 1969.
From 7th October 1969 till 11th November 1969 a series of six programmes was hosted by Alan Price that went out on Tuesdays afternoon in the weekday children's slot. Price said of the show "(...) We want to give all the artists on the show the chance to perform two or three numbers, anything they feel like doing". Guests included Fleetwood Mac, Pentangle, Dave and Toni Arthur, The Moody Blues, Magna Carta and Slade.

LIKE CRYING
(Daniel Kirwan)

she's got so much blues
her best friend can't help her

her best friends a woman
how can a woman help her

woman's got the blues

she just feels like crying

she just feels like dying

woman's got the blues

she just feels like crying
she just feels like dying

woman's got the blues

woman's got the blues

Edit for headphones, May 2023. Another black & white video, colorized. A fragment from the film "Charlie Is My Darling". Colorized with "Pixbim". Not the best quality what Pixbim produces here. Looks like an orange filter. Colorizing this 64 seconds of film took 50 minutes on a Windows 10 machine, 16GB ram, Intel Core i7 7700 "Kaby Lake" (aaargh! just ONE step away from the Windows 11 requirements).

The most interesting in this video is Brian Jones' beautiful rhythm guitar performance. Keith Richards plays the riff.

Sorry for the two blurred parts: one is to blur the CharlieIsMyDarling.com logo, the other is to blur the Pixbim logo... free versions alway come with a price ! That's the downside.
The upside is: the sun was free today...

Edit 1a for headphones. A stunning, amazing live performance by a great band & an even greater singer. Wow. What an overwhelming load of passion. What a load of superlative soul. I wonder if you ever saw a soul singer performing like her... July 18, 1969 in The Dick Cavett Show. Beautiful July, 1967 Beegees' Barry and Robin Gibb composition. In a 2017 interview Barry Gibb was asked "Of all the songs that you've ever written, which song would you choose?" "To Love Somebody" was the answer. He later on declared the song expresses his admiration for their manager Robert Stigwood's abilities and gifts (Stigwoods had asked to write him a song).
So happy the trumpet drowns a few other wind instruments. Though playing the most exciting instrumental part, the organist is only visible for ten seconds at the start of the song.

Edit 3 for headphones. Extra bass on this one, way too much bass, the way I like it... why upload another edit right after the previous edit of this song? Well, let's be honest, this song should have lasted much longer than three minutes and sixteen seconds... the fade out comes much too soon... and comes so abruptly...
Written by Ellington Jordan and Etta James.
It was first recorded by Etta James in 1967, and then released in 1968.

Released by Chicken Shack in 1969. The original members included guitarist Stan Webb, singer and pianist Christine Perfect, later to become Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac, bass guitarist Andy Sylvester and saxophonist Chris Wood.

Their version reached #14 in the U.K. in 1969, #20 in Holland in 1969, and in 1974 it reached #18, again in Holland.

For some strange reason you won't find this song on any 'regular' "Chicken Shack" album, it is only on 2 cd album "Chicken Shack - The Anthology 1967-2001". This edit however is made of the song on the album "The Best Of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac" (Columbia 510155 2), that says it is a "Chicken Shack" song.

I'D RATHER GO BLIND
(Ellington Jordan)(Billy Foster)

something told me it was over
when I saw you and her talking

something deep down in my soul said "cry girl"
when I saw you and that girl walking

I would rather, I would rather go blind boy
than to see you walk away from me

so you see I love you so much
I don't want to see you leave me baby
but most of all I don't wanna be free

I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
about your kiss and your warm embrace

with the reflection in the glass that I to my lips baby
revealed the tears that will run on my face

I would rather go blind boy
than to see you walk away from me

so you see I love you so much
and I don't wanna see you leaving me baby
but most of all I don't wanna be free

baby, baby, baby, I would rather go blind

Edit for headphones, March 2022. This edit is a combination of the official release (the sung part) and a bootleg release (the instrumental part). Source is the first part of the song "Gomper" on the official album (Japanese mini lp uicy-93026) and PART of the second part of the song "Gomper part 1 (take 2) (Olympic Sound Studios, London 10_08 to 7_09_67)" of the eight cd bootleg box set "Studio Outtakes & Rarities Vol. 3.2 Remastered By Teague Raw".
I like this bootleg's instrumental take, because the flute is not in it. (Alas, it lacks Brian Jones' mellotron, which gives the official release its magic atmosphere.)
As I wrote, the instrumental bootleg song is only partly in this edit, so that it fitted in the video of original length.

GOMPER
(Jagger/Richards)

by the lake with lilly flowers
'while away the evening hours
to and fro she's gently gliding
on the glassy lake she's riding

she swims to the side
the sun sees her dried
the birds hover high
I'd stifle a cry

the birds hover high
she moans with a sigh

Edit (stereo 1a) for headphones. Otis Redding and his beautiful April 1965 single "I've been loving you too long". The song was also on his third album, "Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul" (1965). The song reached number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 on the Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart. In 1971 the live version of the Monterey Pop Soundtrack reached no.110 in the Billboard Hot 100. The song was added to the United States National Recording Registry in 2003. This is an edit othat I made of the stereo version that is on the album "Otis Blue" (2016 Analogue Productions Hybrid SACD remaster).

I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU TOO LONG
(Jerry Butler/Otis Redding)

I've been loving you, too long, to stop now

my apologies for the blurred part at the right: it's the logo that comes with the freeware version of the colorization program "Pixbim" that I have delogo-ed -

Wanna try Pixbim too? Well take this into consideration: on a Windows 11 machine it took more than 10 hours to colorized these two minutes of film ! Maybe it took so long because it is an old computer where Windows 11 is supposed NOT to be running on (processor: AMD A4-4000 code name Richland - memory: 6GB DDR3 - Windows 11 forced install with Rufus).

Edit 3 for headphones, May 2023.
Recorded June 10 & 11, 1964. Can you believe that? 1964 ! Recorded in the one and only fantastic Chess Records Studio of genuine Jewish real high fidelity quality. Released August 1964 in the UK on the EP "Five By Five", in the US on the album "12 x 5" in October 1964. In April 1971 it appeared (unauthorized by The Rolling Stones) on the UK album "Stone Age". And that's it ! What a shame! (I don't count the mono release on "The Rolling Stones In Mono", for that's a shame too.) It is on no other officially released album! The source file of this edit is the album "12 x 5" (2006 remastered Japanese mini lp)(uicy-93014).

Electric guitars: Brian Jones (probably also harmonica) & Keith Richards. Vocals & harmonica (which I doubt): Mick Jagger. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts. Piano: Ian Stewart.

CONFESSIN' THE BLUES
(Jay McShann/Walter Brown) Walter Brown (August 1917 - June 1956) was a blues shouter who sang with Jay McShann's band in the 1940s and co-wrote their biggest hit, "Confessin' The Blues". (A blues shouter is a blues singer, often male, capable of singing unamplified with a band.)

baby here I stand before you
with my heart in my hand
I put it to you mama
hoping that you'll understand

well baby
mama please don't dog me 'round
yeah, I would rather love you baby
than anyone else I know in town

this is my confession mama
and it's sung by all your song (?)(meaning?)
it proves that I'm in heaven mama when you

I don't want nobody else

well baby

Edit for headphones, May 2022. A song from the 1968 album "Picturesque Matchstickable Messages From The Status Quo" (deluxe remastered edition). A well done cover of the The Lemon Pipers 1968 number 1 hit single, written by Paul Leka and Shelly Pinz.

Edit for headphones. A September 1965 #14 hit in the UK (#28 in Canada) was the Small Faces debut single, with the help of Ian Samwell, who wrote the lyrics, and of course Solomon Burke's hit record "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love". Another helping hand was done by Don Arden (born Harry Levy), their Jewish music manager, who in later years admitted to spending £ 12,000 chart fixing to ensure the band's debut song would be a hit. Asked by "Uncut" if this was true, drummer Kenney Jones replied: "That's what he told us. Everybody did that at the time, including the Beatles. Probably still do." And that's what music business is about: money. But, you're lucky... this video is free!
This song was recorded six weeks after the group first got together, and Jimmy Winston (keyboard) left after this single for a solo career. He was replaced by Ian McLagan, who stayed with the band until they disbanded in 1978.

WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT?
(Steve Marriott/Ronnie Lane/Ian Samwell)

I want you to know that I love you baby
Want you to know that I care
I'm so happy when you're round me but I'm
Sad when you're not there
Sing the song now!
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Oh Yeah
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Tell the truth
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) She's so nice
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?)
I want you to give your sweet sweet kisses
Want you to hold me tight
I want you to come whenever I call you
And let me walk you home at night
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Eh Yeah
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Please answer my question baby!
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) She's so nice
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?)
I want you to know that I love you baby
I said this before but that I care
I'm so happy when you're round me but I'm
Sad when you're not there
Baby they it comes again
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Oh Yeah
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Cause I'm so crazy
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) You're too
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?)

Edit 2b for headphones, April 2023. The song was recorded March 10 - November 2, 1969. Brian Jones may have played guitar on the first take of this song. Released on the album "Let It Bleed" on December 5, 1969. This was one of the first songs that Mick Taylor played on with the Stones.
Lead vocal: Mick Jagger. Acoustic guitar: Keith Richards. Slide guitar: Mick Taylor. Drums: Charlie Watts. Fiddle: Byron Berline. Backing vocals: Keith Richards & Nanette Newman aka Nanette Workman. Source file of the edit: Japanese mini lp "Let It Bleed".

Robert Cross wrote:
If you hear the Stones playing anything approaching American country music you can be sure its entirely Keith Richards' doing. Mick Jagger went along with it but it certainly wasn't anything HE initiated. They both kept things on the silly side to make sure Nashville didn't think they were serious about being country music artists. It was just Keith paying homage to a music style he enjoyed listening to.

COUNTRY HONK
(Jagger/Richards)

I'm sittin' in a bar tippling a jar in Jackson
and on the street the summer sun it shines
there's many a bar-room queen
I've had in Jackson
but I just can't seem to drink you off my mind

it's the honky tonk women
gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

I laid a divorcee in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
the lady she all dressed me up in roses
she blew my nose and then she blew my mind

it's the honky tonk women
gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

it's the honky tonk women
gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
it's the honky tonk women
gimme, gimme, gimme those honky tonk blues

DEAR ELOISE
(Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks, Graham Nash)

Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me

Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told you, he was much older
So much older than you

You rushed in blindly, he treated you kindly
Until he found out what he could get from you
You should have departed before he got started
Now you've been burned just like I said you would

Please read my letter closely
It's beneficial too
You must read in-between the lines
A message you will see
If you use your mind, you'll find
I want you back with me

Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told you, he was much older
So much older than you
So much older than you
So much older than you

Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me

Edit 1 (3.21) for headphones. Extended from 1.35 to 3.21 minutes. The performance was not real live, all dubbed. The second part of the edit has an extended guitar solo.

The official release was recorded: September 6 & 7, 1965. Released on "Out Of Our Heads" (UK) and "December's Children (and everybody's)" (US) in 1965. This extended edit is made of the version on the album "December's children (and everybody's)" Japan mini lp remastered 2006 [uicy-93018].

Weaving electric guitars: Brian Jones & Keith Richards. Background vocals: Brian Jones & Keith Richards. Lead vocal: Mick Jagger. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts.

All you hear is taken from the official mono release of the song on the forementioned album.
But to extend it, I did some copying and pasting of several parts of the guitar solo and other parts of the song.
Further more no sounds were added to create the "stereo" sound; for instance the stereo effect on the hi-hat is Charlie Watts' hi-hat only.*
Yes, it was a lot of editing, most difficult part is getting Mick Jagger's lips synchronised with the lyrics. Which didn't go that well, as you may have noticed...

* Some people make the mistake to add sounds - for instance they add the sound of themselves playing guitar - to create a stereo effect . That is the same as painting an onion red and then tell people they are eating an apple...
Writing about onion: up to this very day a world wide operating fast food company still has not understood that onion has to be fried in a pan in order to get a hamburger taste the way it should. Eating raw onion on a hamburger is like playing a stereo record on an ancient mono turntable...

Edit for headphones, June 2021. Source of this edit is the version on the 2 cd + 1 dvd album "The Vaudeville Years Of Fleetwood Mac - 1968 to 1970" (Russian release, no label, no catalogue number).

"Man of the World" was recorded in 1969, composed by Peter Green. The song first appeared as a Fleetwood Mac single in various countries in 1969, subsequently appearing on the band's "Greatest Hits" album in 1971. The song was later featured on the 1992 boxed set "25 Years – The Chain" and on the 2002 compilation albums "The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac" and "The Best of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac". A slightly different version of the song was included on the 1998 compilation The Vaudeville Years.

The single peaked on the UK Singles Chart at No. 2 on 7 June 1969, spending a total of 14 weeks on the listing. It also entered the Dutch Top 40 on 26 April 1969 and peaked at No. 12. The song also reached the top five in Norway and Ireland.

The song was not released in the US until 1976, when DJM Records released it as a single with "Best Girl in the World" as its B-side. It has also been re-released in many countries as a 'Golden Oldies' single. The song was also issued in Australia, France, Greece, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Lebanon, Malaysia and Yugoslavia.

Decades later, Mick Fleetwood commented about Peter Green's then mental health state, "It's a very prophetic song. When he made those songs, we had no idea that he was suffering internally as much as he was. But if you listen to the words, it's crucifyingly obvious what was going on. But a beautiful song. A poignant song".

The B-side of the original "Man of the World" single was "Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonite", credited to "Earl Vince and the Valiants" which in reality was Fleetwood Mac performing under a different name.

Peter Green also re-recorded the song with "The Peter Green Splinter Group" as a hidden track for their 1999 release "Destiny Road".

Personnel: Peter Green – vocals, guitar. Danny Kirwan – guitar. John McVie – bass guitar. Mick Fleetwood – drums.

MAN OF THE WORLD
(Peter Green)

shall I tell you about my life
they say I'm a man of the world
I've flown across every tide
I've seen lots of pretty girls

I guess I've got everything I need
I wouldn't ask for more
there's no one I'd rather be
but I just wished I had never been born

and I need a good woman
to make me feel like a good man should
I don't say I'm a good man
oh but I would be if I could

I could tell you about my life
keep you amused I'm sure
about all the times I cried
and how I don't want to be sad anymore

PRETTY GIRL WHY
(Stephen Stills)

like the ghost of someone near
she comes to haunt me in my sleep
still I'm able to sincerely
get her heart away from his

pretty girl why?
pretty girl why not love me?
pretty girl why?
pretty girl why?

there she leaves me twice as lonely
as I was but yesterday
keeping such a hold upon my thoughts
so near yet far away

pretty girl why?
pretty girl why not love me?
pretty girl why?
pretty girl why?

the minstrel boy has gone to war
now burdened with his father's sword
still she doesn't see how she can give him
piece of lips to hold

pretty girl why?
pretty girl why not love me?
pretty girl why?
pretty girl why?

Edit for headphones, December 2022. A song from the 1969 album "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" (2014 Pono remaster).
Neil Young was living in southern California when he wrote this song. That's the environment he's describing with its "day-to-day running around" that he needs to escape. Young's conflicted relationship with the entertainment industry has marked his entire career, and it's seen even here at this early stage.
While he laments the hectic Los Angeles tempo, he assures us that despite all the allure, nothing worthwhile is to be found there.

Someone wrote: When singing "Everybody seems to wonder what it's like down here" Neils caustic tone makes it clear that for him the entire Los Angeles scene might as well fall into the sea.

Yeah, when people choose a movie actor for governor then indeed it's time to make some serious emigration plans... Neil was a sort of prophet...

The song was released as a single in 1969, but it didn't chart.
That must have been a great disappointment for Neil, for he didn't name the album after this song's title for no reason: like he did - I think - I think this song is a m a s s i v e hit !

Neil Young - guitar, vocals
Danny Whitten - guitar, backing vocals
Ralph Molina - drums
Billy Talbot - bass
Bobby Notkoff - violin on "Running Dry"
Robin Lane – backing vocals on "Round & Round"

EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE
(Neil Young)

I think I'd like to go back home
and take it easy
there's a woman that I'd like to get to know
living there

everybody seems to wonder
what it's like down here

I gotta get away from this day-to-day running around
everybody knows this is nowhere

everybody everybody knows
everybody knows oh yeah

every time I think about back home
it's cool and breezy
I wish that I could be there right now
just passing time

everybody seems to wonder
what it's like down here

I gotta get away from this day-to-day running around
everybody knows this is nowhere

everybody knows everybody knows
everybody knows everybody everybody knows
oh everybody knows everybody knows

oh mmm mmm mmm
everybody knows everybody knows
mmm

Edit for headphones. An interesting cover of a well known Jagger/Richard composition. MP3 source, so not the best quality, sorry.
The song starts promising, with a real nice sharp guitar riff, but, alas, the riff is not repeated during the rest of the song. I repeated the riff three times, accompanying the chorus, in the second edit, which is on this channel too. I think this cover is well worth sharing. I like sharp guitar riffs, it's what attrackted me to The Stones. A Brian Jones thing.
Don and The Goodtimes are from Portland, Oregon in the US and were formed by Don Gallucci, formerly of "The Kingsmen" who had had a hit with "Louie Louie", a number 2 hit in 1964 (composed by Richard Berry in 1955, though in a totally different style). The band was Don Gallucci: keyboard, Bob Holden: drums, Dave Childs: bass, Don McKinney: saxophone (yech) and Pierre Oullette: guitar.
They were the house band on US' Dick Clark’s ABC television show “Where The Action Is” in 1967.
This record with b side "I’m Real" sold well locally but didn’t break through into the national charts.
The band splitted in 1968 with Gallucci going on to form the psychedelic band "Touch".

PAY THE PRICE
(Stephen Stills)

well I've heard the story once before
and I know what the tears are for
that's a lie and I just can buy
you came for me so don't try

and I see another man in your eyes
yes and you're old enough to know you can't live lies
yes and so I'm telling you just exactly what to do
'cause you can't have two tastes of advice

pay the price

and if 't was another time or place
another day, another face
I'm telling you babe it's all you know
that one of us is gonna have to go

and I see another man in your eyes
yes and you're old enough to know you can't live lies
yes and so I'm telling you just exactly what to do
'cause you can't have two tastes of advice

pay the price

listen I know you hate to see me cry
but I have to go and I tell you why
without your love I just can't go on
it's easy (← ?) and it's wrong

and I see another man in your eyes
yes and you're old enough to know you can't live lies
yes and so I'm telling you just exactly what to do
'cause you can't have two tastes of advice

pay the price

and I see another man in your eyes
yes and you're old enough to know you can't live lies
yes and so I'm telling you just exactly what to do
'cause you can't have two tastes of advice

pay the price
pay the price
pay the price

Edit for headphones, November 2022. This is the first version of the song, recorded February 13, 1964 in the Regent Sound Studios in London. The second version is this same mono recording, but mainly on the left channel, with a lot of echo on the right channel and a pedal steel guitar centre/right to cover that up & create a stereo sound. That second version is on the 1975 album "Metamorphosis".

Source file of this edit is cd two of the thirteen cd box set "Collector Treasures 1961 - 1967" by Wonderland Records (WLR SF 6167). The song is mistakenly entitled "Some Things Just Sticks In Your Mind II", for it's the first version. And things "stick". One thing sticks, two or more things stick. You got that? Hè, hè, hè...

I like this first version better, for at the end of the song of version two you may begin to think: "Hey man, stop interfering with your whining pedal steel guitar, you're beginning to behave like the average saxophone player... (acting like a jammer)" or "Brian Jones would have done that a thousand times better!"

Lead vocals: Mick Jagger
Guitars: Big Jim Sullivan/Jimmy Page
Bass: Joe Moretti (?)
Drums: Andy White (?)

SOME THINGS JUST STICK IN YOUR MIND
(Jagger/Richards)

why does the sky turn grey ev'ry night
sun rise again in time
why do you think of the first girl you had
some things just stick in your mind

why does the rain fall down on the earth
why do the clouds keep cryin'
why do you sleep curled up like a child
some things just stick in your mind

why when the children grow up and leave
still remember their nursery rhymes
why must there be so much hate in their lives
some things just stick in their minds

Edit for headphones, November 2021. If you think this song sounds weird, well, then you haven't heard the rest of the 1969 double album "Trout Mask Replica" (2013 remaster). It is a special album, very special, watch this video to understand what's going on: https://youtu.be/58nPEe-TU-w

VETERAN'S DAY POPPY
(Don van Vliet)

I cry but I can't buy
your veteran's day poppy
it don't get me high
it can only make me cry
it can never grow another
son like the one who warmed me my days
after rain and warmed my breath
my life's blood
screamin' empty she cries
it don't get me high
it can only make me cry
your veteran's day poppy

Not an edit. This is to sort of experience The Rolling Stones' "Down Home Girl" in true stereo... though narrow stereo... though with a bit too much solo guitar going on... a typical example of too much caffeine I guess ? Still a nice song, it has its charms.
The Breadmakers, an Australian band from Victoria, formed in 1989.
Members: Blacktop Brierley, Davern White, Dikko Whelan, Homesick Gordon Hepburn, Nicholas Phillips, Scott Lacey (2), Smokey Shephard.

Edit 2b* (alt. take) for headphones. "Clean" version, with only bass, guitar and slide guitar. Or name it "sort of unplugged". The official release has percussion, piano, organ & backing vocals added.
This one is from the bootleg album "Time Trip vol. 4" by Scorpio (or Gold Standard) (cat.nr. SIAE RS-23-94-07.)
Recorded May and June, 1968. Released on "Beggars Banquet" in 1968.
Acoustic slide guitar: Brian Jones. Vocals: Mick Jagger. Acoustic rhythm guitar: Keith Richards. Bass: Bill Wyman.

Rejected because of the tiny slide guitar glitch at 1.53 ?

* edit 2b = better volume & new photos

NO EXPECTATIONS (alt. take)
(Jagger/Richards)

take me to the station
and put me on a train
I've got no expectations
to pass through here again

once I was a rich man and
now I am so poor
but never in my sweet short life
have I felt like this before

you heart is like a diamond
you throw your pearls at swine
and as I watch you leaving me
you pack my peace of mind
