Diana Ross & the Supremes and the Temptations I’m Gonna Make You Love Me Motown M-1137 (1 week) Motown had back-to-back chart-toppers with Marvin Gaye and this one. It featured Eddie Kendricks and Diana Ross, with the other members of the Temps and Supremes effectively acting as backup singers. This is a good record, but by this time, Ross was trying to leave her sex-kitten voice behind and strained to sound more soulful. I heard it as screeching, and here Kendricks screeches with her. (And t...

Tommy James & the Shondells Crimson And Clover Roulette R-7028 (1 week) Lots of us record collectors and vinyl junkies have too much time on our hands and sit around making up new pigeonholes to categorize records. Trying to place records like Green Tambourine and Crimson And Clover somewhere led to the coining of terms like bubblegum-psychedelia (even bubble-psych) and acid-pop andpop-psych. Crimson And Cloveris far from bubblegum music just as lyrically it’s pretty far from psychedelia. It’...

- The Zombies, “Time of the Season” (No. 3, Hot 100) While most of the band’s 1968 album Odessey and Oracle veers toward baroque pop, the Zombies returned to the jazz-inflected rock of previous hits “She’s Not There” and “Tell Her No” on album closer “Time of the Season.”
- Sly and the Family Stone, “Everyday People” (No. 1, Hot 100) At the height of the Civil Rights Movement, marginalized communities were begging for peace.
- Crosby, Stills & Nash, “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” (No. 21, Hot 100) Crosby, Stills & Nash were hardly the first rock supergroup, but they might’ve been the first to arrive with a single of Endgame-like ambition to match their combined largesse.
- The Rolling Stones, “Gimme Shelter” (Did not chart) The haunting opening sounds like Chuck Berry slowed down and awaiting the apocalypse. The lyrics evoke a person at their wits end, watching some sort of societal collapse: “Rape, murder — it’s just a shout away!”
Yup - in that box was The Beatles Hottest Hits on Danish Parlophone with the withdrawn 'eskimo' sleeve. He'd done nothing with those records - just stashed 'em upstairs. There was no internet in those days - but by chance the work experience kiddy had spotted it in a back issue of Record Collector "The Beatles Rarest Sleeve".
