What follows is a miscellany of mostly early material I have bookmarked along the way.
Wishing to avoid any duplication, I have looked back through all previous posts and hope this has been achieved (no guarantees!).
Some of these videos may be familiar, some may not and in either event, I trust will be enjoyable.
I was particularly surprised how many of the early 'official' videos I hadn't seen before.
I didn't think we had music video in those days...
...................................................................................................
And that was so far as I had written earlier this morning.
At which point, decided it would be preferable posting each video in sequence of the song's release date.
So, I checked with Wikipedia and realised there was a major issue - something I had never previously thought about....
...the 'B' sides...
Then I noticed some of these I may never have heard, or if so, long forgotten...
Consequently, I decided to track down contemporary live footage of them all.
What I now have to offer is a mixture of both 'official' videos and concert film.
It transpired that the one song I rediscovered and which has such heartfelt memories of its time, is the only track without either an original video, or film of it performed live - if anyone knows otherwise then please...
That would be the hauntingly exquisite Julia Dream.
Instead, I discovered a live recording for BBC radio, which is a slightly different version and perfectly acceptable alternative.
When I heard this song again earlier and for the first time in what must be... dunno... 45 years?... it hit me so hard it was unexpectedly overwhelming.
There, in an instance, I was back with old pals from schooldays, my bedroom, 16th floor of Glasgow skyscraper flats, listening to Relics for the first time.
There's an old Glasgow phrase and to enquire if we would all have been completely and utterly stoned, 'is like asking if the Pope is a Catholic'.
Anyway, reminisces aside, we have the band's first five single releases, all dating from 1967.
As this is already rather longer than ever intended, I shall post them separately.
