Dittos what Johnny said. That period in the Sixties commenced a revolution in what might now be termed classical rock 'n' roll. the sheer genius of the lyrics coupled with innovative melody compositions and virtuoso musicianship was a blending of epic proportions.
and just think, The Helmsman was there presenting it right in the middle of that great big bubble of popular Top 40 radio!
