Comment:

The musical Hair premieres Off-Broadway, The Concorde is unveiled in Toulouse, France, BBC Radio 1 is launched.
Desmond Morris publishes The Naked Ape, In Gibraltar, only 44 out of 12,182 voters support union with Spain, Jim Morrison and The Doors defy CBS censors on The Ed Sullivan Show, when Morrison sings the word "higher" from their #1 hit Light My Fire, despite having been asked not to.
We said hello to Kurt Cobain, Evan Dando, Billy Corgan, Will Ferrell, Michael Johnson & Nicole Kidman.
We said goodbye to Vivien Leigh, Dorothy Parker, Woody Guthrie, Che Guevara, John Coltrane & Otis Redding.
Drugs were invented in this year, a few people take them but generally they don't catch on. Yes 1967, the Summer of Love. Here's our pick of the tunes of the year. Believe us, this could've been a 10CD Box Set. Enjoy..

"Drugs were invented in this year." No wonder they were so hard to find in 1966.
Musically it was a fantastic year. As is this mix.

Well, with all that was going on in 1967 from a musical standpoint, this mix should be a classic. The pleasant news is that it is indeed. :-) Great work.

A fantastic year for music and a fantastic mix. Too many good singles here to single out. Bring on the boxed set!

With a year rife with incredible music, I imagine this would one of the hardest to distill. But, as with all previous volumes, beautifully executed!!!

gave this glorious thing a listen the other day. Pink Floyd, Box Tops, Traffic and Caetano Veloso tracks are really great, in addition to what I've already listed.
