1967: Make Love, Not War

25 years ago, I started to DJ in public.
I multiplied that time by two, and found myself back in 1967.

50 years ago, music sounded like this.

The disenchantment of the younger generation and the general state of the world draws tons of parallels to today.

We reached space, and technology has evolved staggeringly.
But humanity still has some way to go.

Riots spread like wildfire across the US, regarding race, poverty and disparity. A contentious war raged in Vietnam. In recent years, Kennedy had been shot and Mandela thrown in prison.

But there was still an air of optimism.
It was the dawn of the hippy.
It was the Summer of love.
London was swinging. San Francisco was far out.
Peace, love, unity. And quite a lot of acid.

The soundtrack to all the above was astounding.

Here's 2hrs of music from the western world, across genres, released and produced in 1967. New born sounds of psych and rocksteady, nestling alongside the cream of soul & the grooviest pop.
