Robert Pollard’s Guide To The Late 60s podcast- 016 Spirit of ‘67 (Paul Revere & The Raiders) / Permanent Damage (The GTOs)Let’s get together outrageously to discuss Zappa’s girl group side project and whether Revere deserves to be revered.
- 015 Fifth Dimension (The Byrds) / And The Music Plays On (Del Shannon)Scientific delirium madness as we discuss theoretical physics and the Byrds. Then we wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why this Del Shannon album remained unreleased for over a decade!
- 014 Younger Than Yesterday / The Notorious Byrd Brothers (The Byrds)Time to begin the McGuinn as we leaf through the back pages of The Byrds.
- 013 Horizontal (Bee Gees) / The Graham Gouldman Thing (Graham Gouldman)In which we get our Massive Chew Sets around another Bee Gees album and the debut from future 10cc-er Gouldman.
- 012 Odessa (Bee Gees)The relative heights of adult humans and Christmas trees are amongst many topics discussed as the red flock cover of Bee Gees’ 1969 double album Odessa steps into view.
- 011 Odessey and Oracle (The Zombies) / 1st (Bee Gees)Bulbous swirling fonts and psychedelic imagery a-plenty on the covers. But what will the Wizards make of the music on this pair of albums recorded in Swinging London™ during the Summer of Love™
