How does this list compare with that found in excellent little illustrated book which also annotated a 100 psychedelic recordings (50 US, 50 UK), and  given away in the first edition of Mojo magazine, written by Jon Savage?  UPDATE: Unbelievably a ride on  local search engine revealed this:
http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10249&KW=savage

Interesting to note that The Creation in fact feature in both lists - but not the same track (?) - their mid 60's UK singles get raved over as perhaps the best from a 60's UK band, in that long book on the subject of psychedelic music, Jim DeRogatis's Turn On Your Mind.

I think I heard Rainbow Ffollie's Sallies Fforth album virtually the day it was released (it was given to record shops in the UK by Columbia UK to play in store as a form of promotion), but never heard it as psychedelia (not all released during the summer of love have to be psychedelia). Rather a rather nice piss take/pastiche of Sgt Pepper, minus the psychedelia making it nice mid 60's pop with jokes. Also an influence on the name of one of my early radio shows Jazz Ffollies - 3 years before Julie (Don't Cry For Me Argentina) Covington etal appeared on the box with Rock Follies too!

But as they (who be 'they', however) say, you remember the 60's you couldn't have been there......................

Most of my faves are there (Kaleidoscope, Floyd, Manfred Mann (Up The Junction), The Move etc etc)
 
I would have picked Ice In the Sun over Pictures Of Matchstick Men
 
others:
 
Purple Gang - Granny Takes A Trip (Like The Smoke's My Friend Jack, it was banned by the BBC)
Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense And Pepermints
Honeybus - Under The Silent Tree
Love Scuplture - In The Land Of The Few - (a great song, much better than The Sabre Dance)
The Moles - We Are The Moles (They were rumoured to be The Beatles in disguise - until Syd Barrett gave the game away and The Shulman Brothers admitted it was them)
Idle Race - Skeleton And The Roundabout
Kaleidoscope - Jenny Artichoke
John's Children - Desdemona
David Bowie - Karma Man
 
I suppose should mention Keith West, but never been much of a fan

The thread is the 100 greatest UK Psyche Records.

 
The Animals were not American, and the three 1965 tracks.were not American Psyche.

We Gotta Get Out Of This Place was written by US songwriters Mann/Weil. The style was US Psyche and performed by UK band The Animals.
 
It could have been performed by a Danish band for that matter, but it remains US Psyche in Animals' version.
 
But you're right on the thread title, but I was commenting on Dick's excellent post.

Listing complete albums is a bit of a cheat IMHO (as per Record Collector) - Jon Savage top 50 UK  list is made up of individual tunes - btw if you can get hold enough of those tracks they will make up good CD compilations.

...and most of them already have Wink LOL
 
Yes, the adding of whole albums was odd, sepecially since most albums in the 60s had at least 2 singles on them. And to have missed some of the more pop Psyche Pop stuff too.

To answer my own question. (BTW  I'm sure LP tracks are listed as singles in both lists, although perhaps not issued as singles). Strip away LPs from the Record Collector's list and you are left with just short of 50 singles. From this there are 15 tracks that overlap , i.e. 30% , supporting the arguement that by getting several so-called experts together and you are guaranteed significant differences!! Does the Record Collector list on the basis of what is collectible, I know Jon Savage listsedon th basis of personal aural impact?

I see the Hollies Butterfly album was listed. However, I bought and know the Hollies Evolution album better, i.e. reported to be Graham Nash's attempt to really shift the band from mainstream pop into something more radical. I guess lukewarm responses from both fans and the the rest of the band had Nash head off to California and CSN.
 
Talking Anglo-Americans - slightly bemused to see Hendrix in both Savage's UK and US list - I presume indicating  Experience and post-Experience periods. Could similar be said of the Animals (Geordie R'n'B band) and Eric Burdon & the (some time called New) Animals (some time west coast rock band)?

Seeing Bobby Haydock's (?) hat in the Hollies cover photo, reminds me that a number of  60's pop musicians prematurely  balding hid that from the fans. Was this a tradition started by pop and rock stars or something much earlier?

I don't know before the Beatles, but Lennon and Ringo both wore hats before the Hollies cover, I guess taken as green light by others that it was ok then.
 
Lennon wasn't bald back then but he began to bear signs of baldness around 40, so i'm pretty sure he would have been bald later on.
 
(Speaking of....anyone noted my new avatar, by the way?)

I enjoyed reading your list, Dick, (will check some of these out if i can find them) and agree on Psyche tracks listed as opposed to whole albums that contain one or two Psyche tracks, though i'm sure the Record Collector list was meant as a convenient guide, though many good ones are missing - no "My New Day and Age" by the Mindbenders and "Too Much to Dream Last Night" by Electric Prunes. 
 
Luckily (or unluckily for the cash pressed collector of vinyl) many good Psyche songs were released on 45rpm singles, though these  are rare and are far more expensive than the CD compilations  many of these rare songs appear on. Smile

Practically everyone and everything you mentioned,can be listened to at "Technicolour web of Sound "on the net the UK USA and sometimes even South American Psych and prog. I love what they play mainly because I'm in the middle of nowhere as far as music goes and good culture is hard to find.
