I have not heard this gem for 40 years. Far Out!

[TheFatyBella]

Magic.

[bingobongo445]

Man i was just taken to another level in music, this stuff is da bomb!

[bluedemon71]

it is true though that the first version from '66 was shorter and less elaborate. the conclusion can be that they heard The End with the obvious guitar bit 'borrowed'from them , and felt it would be fun to do a long version themselves to stick it back to The Doors. after all it was Them ,with VAN Morrisson still in the band who created the sound and show of long organ based, poetry driven , crowd interacting versions of the songs on stage as far back as 64 when The Doors werent even a band yet

[bluedemon71]

it's the other way around : The Doors were heavily influenced by Them (and eric Burdon's Animals) in fact so much that they decided not to have a bassplayer in the band because it made them sound too much like those bands. the original version of this song was recorded and played live in LA & San Fransisco BEFORE Light My Fire was even written, and since Morrisson & co are notorious for ripping off other people's sounds, riffs,melodies and lyrics its not hard to figure out to whom credit is due

[Wellifye]

great,.....!!!

[bingobongo445]

Think they were influenced just a little by the Doors song The End! 

[baddad59]

@bingobongo445 Could very well be the other way around..

[tinyke3]

wow first time hearing a song by this band.. how have I existed untill now

[MrJeepsters]

Est ce van morison qui chante

[bingobongo445]

Because FCCs nazi like control over much of the music played on top 40 radio stations at that time. Most likely the only place you would have heard this great music on was late night underground stations. Sad but true.

[goon8000]

very sooooothing....

[bndrpz]

very amazing !

[alxvc2]

amazing

[ziggy107]

have fallen for this track ... infectious pure psych

[tatunkha]

get the facts straight - Floyd Barrett did a track called "pink square room"



[taZDuke]

@tatunkha

there's not such a song by Syd Barrett. I also have been looking for that years and years. No result. This is the only Square room that i've found. Most of the fans says the same thing.

best regards

[Evoken13]

about 2 min in.....I was there, man!

[sn00pyize]

Very, very Groovy~~~~~~~~  *

[zios121]

can anyone get me the lyrics? i really want them

[tripcan]

some people claim that this song belongs to syd barrett in original, some others say pink floyd also has a song named square room(which couldn't be found in anywhere!), but they're not same with this square room. and some other say that syd barrett hasn't written any song named square room. is there anyone has an accurate and 'reliable' information about that?

[ArtfulDawdger]

@tripcan

all I know is pandora cant find it and it pisses me off! Square Room Radio ftw!

[taZDuke]

@tripcan

Neither Pink floyd, nor Syd barrett has not such a song named as Square room..its a rumor where is based on psychedelic similarities of two bands i guess.

best regards.

[tatunkha]

@tripcan Respond to this video... Floyd Barrett did a track called "pink square room"

[666UFO666]

Killer Tune !!!!!

[trojanlol]

so great

[pejetube]

Hier houd ik echt niet van, dit was de ondergang van The Beatles

[anwiyayoukhanna]

So sick

[ckampoli]

I love Them

[bandcouver]

This album consists of material recorded after Van Morrison left and started his long-standing solo career. I believe Van had released "Brown Eyed Girl"

the same year.

[SuperNevile]

West Coast Pysch influence ~ different to British Pysch. Lovely track ~ thanks for the upload.

[MojoMurillo]

Very cool. Firstly reminded me of the Doors, 'the end' and some Iron Butterfly influences and later the fab four definate possibility John Lennon once heard this song or G.Harrison. But the long jam reminded me mostly of the Grateful Dead.

[eggshrapnel]

@MojoMurillo yeah this band (main singer is coincidentally van morisson) used to jam with the doors and they basically made them what they were. so good points on the similarities there.

[rodneyracoon]

@MojoMurillo Yep it mostly reminds me of The End by the Doors and also the Indian influenced Harrison-Beatle songs.

[HumbertoGillanLennon]

I like to very much this song, are a completetly a Raga-Rock master piece, with acid psychedelia :).

[zivoderac]

Best of The Best !!!

[estosiesmusica]

[neerajsubedi]

never heard anything like this before. got this one through somebody's facebook profile. mesmerizing.

[K3FON]

I wish there was a higher quality version!

[mikal9000]

Who could've guessed that the post-Van Them could come up with such a trippy track? Yet another lost psychedelic classic available again to anyone with YouTube access -- thanks for posting it!

[TakeItBrendanLSD]

beautiful cover art as-well

[jimbotro]

did radiohead sample the beginning of this? or copy it?

[cheekymonkey1979]

I'm very impressed by this track: thanks for posting!

[kirkwill8806]

Yo, gkncvs, please post the rest of this album. I'm looking on the internet and can't find this anywhere (this song is sooo fucking awesome, I NEED IT)

[rearly62]

@kirkwill8806 this is available as a CD now

[mindtrippp]

trippin me out man

[col1rbtx]

I read that this song is on a 45rpm on Sully records of oklahoma city. Is this album also on Sully? I also read that Amarillo, Tx was their home for about 1 year...true?

[MagicMankyIII]

The cd liner notes say Ray Ruff signed the band and flew them to Amarillo in late 1966. Sully released 2 singles - Dirty Old Man/Square Room & Walking in the Queen's Garden/I happen to love you. They moved to LA in late '67 to record this album for the Tower label. The Sully versions are different recordings but were included as bonus tracks, not on this cd, but on the cd reissue of the 'Time Out!' album, for some reason.

[Mariekesone]

Never heard this song from THEM..

Lovely, relaxing, light and drawing you in..

Trance...Love it:-)

[HemiVic]

My favorite THEM tune is "Dirty Old Man" from late 1967. I heard that Van Morrison left the band in early 1967 to go solo and the rest of the band continued without him. They used Ray Sully as lead singer when they were in the states but then had two different line ups in Ireland in 1968. Just a killer band!

[JabberwockySupafly]

I love it!

[minsulisa]

great song!

[c2105026]

don't you just hate it when you drop some acid and things just begin to look a bit strange lol

[mobyboy]

its a great trippy track !

I like oriental influences in psychedelic

[eposz2]

@mobyboy trippy hippy!

[flatbillysg]

what a "trip" down memory lane..

[asorls1]

Jim Armstrong on Guitar. He was on the 2nd them LP with Morrison too.

[MagicMankyIII]

Ray Elliot too. He plays flute on this and he also played keyboards on the 2nd LP including the sublime version of 'It's all over now, Baby Blue'.

[asorls1]

@MagicMankyIII I heard he passed away about 15 years ago.

[MagicMankyIII]

@asorls1 Yeah, I heard he left Them and settled in Canada. He reunited with Armstrong and MacDowell on a very good album called 'Truth - Of Them and Other Tales', but I don't think he recorded again. But Jim Armstrong is still going and recording some good stuff.

[PsychedelicGuy]

I have this LP, and also have "Time Out Time In for Them" and "Belfast Gypsies" all 3 of these are amazing!

[AFLOWWER]

increibleeeee

[chuckdee121]

They were quite the group! As I understand it, Kim Fowley enabled them to make several recordings, and their attitude was one of just going for it. The Belfast Gypsies Lp should be in everyone's collection. If you don't have it, get it!

[suyorga]

It belongs to Syd Barrett as far as I know..

[Thexile123]

Yes i heard this too is this true?

[suyorga]

it is.

[RollingStonedGypsy]

this a great longer song then the one i have

Belfast Gypsies\T.H.E.M\Time Out! Time in for Them [Bonus Tracks]\17 Square Room [Original Single Version]has 2 cool tracks from it on this cd

[ITSALOVELIDE]
