Ένα από τα ψυχεδελικά Βρετανικά αριστουργήματα αποτελεί η δουλειά του Billy Nicholls που είναι ευκαιρία να ακούσουν όσοι δεν έτυχε ως τώρα. Κάπου στο αγγλικό κείμενο αναφέρεται το όνομα του Andrew Loog Oldham, το οποίο θα θυμίσω ότι υπάρχει πίσω από τα πρώτα χρόνια των Rolling Stones. Είναι συνεπώς προφανές ότι όπου ανακατευόταν ο Andrew, εξυπακούεται ότι θα το χαρακτηρίζει η ποιότητα.
ALBUM:
1 WOULD YOU BELIEVE (Immediate IMCP 009) 1967 R3
45s:
1 Would You Believe/Daytime Girl (Immediate IM 063) 1968
2 Forever's No Time At All/This Song Is Green (Track 2094 109) 1973
NB: (2) with Pete Townshend.
The Would You Believe album is now an ultra-rarity. His first 45 was produced by Ronnie Lane and Stevie Marriott of The Small Faces.
His album was Andrew Loog Oldham's attempt to concoct the UK's answer to The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, only a few copies appear to have leaked out. He was signed by Oldham straight from school.
Nicholls went on to contribute to Townshend's early seventies solo album, which explains Townshend's involvement on his 1973 45 for Track.
Compilation appearances have included: Portobello Road on Justavibration (LP) and Justafixation (CD); London Social Degree on Maximum '65 (LP); Would You Believe on Immediate Alternative (LP); Would You Believe and Daytime Girl on Immediate Alternative (CD); Daytime Girl on Immediate Single Collection, Vol. 5 (CD).
Προφανώς ξεχωρίζω το It Brings Me Down

Προφανώς ξεχωρίζω το It Brings Me Down
I wander through the night time
There's no one I can call mine
It brings me downIt brings me down
There's no one looking at me
Because there's nothing to see
It brings me down
It brings me down
Because I think far too much
Because I think far too much
And there's no one as such
who believes in the dreams I have to dream
It brings me down
I wander through the night time
It brings me down
I wander through the night time
There's no one
I can call mine
It brings me down
It brings me down
There's no one looking at me
There's no one looking at me
because there's nothing to see
It brings me down
It brings me down
Because I think far too much
Because I think far too much
And there's no one as such
Who believes in the dreams
I have to dream
It brings me down
