[manchild3479]

this is just fantastic, nothing like it today,,,,,,,,,,,,,or will ever be.

[vintage52]

I so remember this being played and played on Radio Caroline when it came out - Herd were great while they lasted. Whatever happened to good music?

[pinkfeet18]

absoutley great group not like crap around today

[31jon1959]

pure class

[ColumRogers]

The Herd deserve more recognition than they get! So bloody awesome!! xx

[chrismagic56]

Yessssssss



[georgianwindow]

I do remember my first job working on a mink farm at 16 and this song coming on radio 1 1967 the bells then the atmospheric way the song builds, I liked also Traffic hole in my shoe here we go round the mulberry bush hero's and villains by the beach boys all these songs bring back the great music of 1967

[2656paul]

yes you are right PURE CLASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[beckilanena]

pure class

[beckilanena]

pure unadulterated class

[fourkoff]

About 20 years ahead of it's time

[bombsta1973]

i love this site ive heard these songs for years but dont know anything about them im 38 so was to young but thanx to everyone that puts something about this song on here and others gives me a little insight

[fourkoff]

20/10 better than perfection.

[midmodgal]

Now, this is alright!

[roelsjohan]

het liedje geeft me elke dag koude rillingen!

de trompetten doen het fantastisch!

[roelsjohan]

Ik wil dit liedje bijna elke dag genieten! Het doet me terug denken aan december 1967 toen het binnenstond in de Veronica's top 40. Fantastisch! Gewoonweg groot!

[martin1griffin]

This is just pure quality - one of the greatest songs of the 60's. Peter Frampton - legend in my book

[Bliar1]

@The Spaghettihoop

Definately 'second' that sentiment - great song, great group, great times.

Now we are all looking down the barrel of our 60th Birthday and wondering where it all went.

Oh well, we still have our memories - for the time-being at least...

[stillovescott]

Saw them on the same bill as Scott Walker....never to be forgotten!!!! Both fantastic.....

[watchampions]

Fantastic stuff from the 60s, i had the pleasure in those days gone by

[MrBillies12]

such power....atmospheric is not a strong enough word! always loved this tune!

[TheSpaghettihoop]

To all those over 50's, wasn't it GREAT to be a "Child of The 60's" with this kinda music, almost 59 now and I would not have swapped being a teenager in the 60's for anything, as for music and lyrics, you can keep, PUNK, DISCO, NEW AGE, RAP, 70's, 80's, 90's and nowadays Music, this is where it was at. May God Bless all The Musicians of The 60's, particularly many of those who are no longer with us, it was them alone that made it all possible.

[lambertroberts]

this takes me back,,,Joan,,,Freida,,Janice,,­,a great time in my history

[dustykel100]

my father bless him said "you call me man once more", i say's, "ride on, big peace pop's", and i ran out, fast, Fantastic time's, i waz away wif the fairy's, peace you guy's an gal's on here

[txswinterry65]

I lived in England when this song was out. Always thought The Herd was way ahead of their time.

[oceanchange]

@txswinterry65 Me too. Was a teenager in England then ! Haunted me songs like this. In Australia now. You ?

[YBikerG]

Do they get any better than this????

[daffonfire]

Bought the single....can still see it....fontana label and he was the face of 1968!

[vegbloke]

Check out Grinderman / palaces of montezuma, strikingly beautiful in a similar vein, album version only.

[raypangshk]

My mum played this when I was 7 years old. The lyrics didn't mean much to me at the time but later I was able to appreciate the depth of the song. This is 'The Song' for me and nice to see over 100k hits :-) on you tube...

[dinkeldal]

inderdaad de produktie was voor die tijd briljant

[MegaChris1954]

fab song. fab group

[evajom1]

The production is absolutely fantastic.One of the greatest singles of any decade.There must have been a huge amount of work put into it,yet it seems so effortlessly brilliant.

[MrPansperson]

Gregorian chanting after 6 spliffs. Fantastic!

[dinkeldal]

toen alles nog langzamer was en je nog kon dromen van meisjes en wat je later zou worden

prachtig nummer overigens

[worthmoremusic]

Frampton at his best........

[johngpayne]

Thank's I forgot this one

[LeandroJesskint]

From time to time I put this song in the playlist of the music system in my favorite pub, which gets appreciated every time

[jimincairns]

...and little Peter Frampton up front!

[2656paul]

never ending classic iam old but im happy, a sixtys child

[SuperNevile]

Masterpiece in 3 minutes 12 secs, tha arrangement exactly fitting the words. Beaten to No. 1 by Massachusetts, Baby Now That I've Found You, Zabadak, The Last Waltz and Hole In My Shoe. Out of that list only really play HIMS and this.

[philwear]

@SuperNevile

To be honest all were fantastic .. this was ultra

[candybrae1]

Loved this song when it came out in the sixties...and still do .......long live my heros

[erickc34]

love it love it love it

"heard" this every day for 40 years and still

love it love it love it

[soulhoney56]

Pure Genius !!

[dinkeldal]

prachtige compositie uit der jugendzeit de compositie blijft wat rest is de herriniring

[Byrd801]

ubelievably good!!!! still as strong and beautiful as i when it was launched. i am getting old !!! still remember that !!! what a great period in music . thanks for uploading it.

[patrickdarcy]

fantastic

[vegbloke]

by the way Sanmiguel357 well done for posting this., thankyou, you have made a major contribution to the historical archive.

[vegbloke]

I was practicing Palaces of Montezuma by Grinderman for the pub piano and i couldn't get this melody out of my mind, but couldn't think of the artist or songtitle. I had to phone my sister Dee in Devon to get the answer by playing it down the phone on the piano to her.

[spiderselecta]

cool !

[zwerfkijen]

the creativity and originality of the sixties and early seventies have never been repeated since. I am so glad I grew up in the sixties.................maybe I should grow up.............music wise that is....................never !

[vegbloke]

@zwerfkijen Just look harder, try some Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds or his other band Grinderman.

[hanpanal]

I still get shivers when it starts! What an awesome track, never ever tire of it. Thanks for posting, just no-one can beat Frampton, gorgeous boy! you don't have to be over 50 to love it, my kids, 14 &16 love it as well!

[691peebles]

the sixties ah ! the seventies too! the eighties were so cool! the ninties just as good! and what now?????? nothing such a lack of individuality everything manufactured to look and sound the same..... boring!

[691peebles]

my dad used to play this all the time....cool

[minimadalison]

From the Underworld - magic, magic, a 45 I bought on release, have played to death, still have it, still love this song - magnificent. So glad I can hear (and see) it here today because I rarely bring out the record player now. A powerful, wonderful sound and Peter's voice perfect. Peter was gorgeous and the song hauntingly beautiful, never forgotten, never get tired of hearing it. Peter was 17 same age as I was. He went on to greater things with Steve Marriott (formerly of The Small Faces)

[shemanic1]

@minimadalison same as "a 45 I bought on release, have played to death, still have it" but still play mine in pubs as a retro DJ

[Framptonfixation]

Peter, Peter *sigh*.....most beautiful boy who ever walked the earth

[54helena]

Peter Frampton! ooooh lovely......still have pics of him that use to hang on my bedroom walls!

[Georgie2047]

Frampton was so pretty he was name 'the face of 67" because of his good looks. He was also a talent.

[pragnerp]

@Georgie2047 Not disputing his prodigous gifts or good looks but Frampton was the Face Of 68.

[Georgie2047]

@pragnerp Thanks. I lost a year... too many purple hearts.

[candybrae1]

Long live all the sixties music...Long live the Herd. I so love them .The best of the best for the time.

[taphn]

powerful stuff

[da162da]

I remember buying this single in a Phillips store, played it to death and still it's brilliant.

What memories.

[bosssl2002]

very nice



[PC619K]

just brilliant, better than the crap they play now. i get goosepimples listening to it.

[Efrasnel]

Voice has an uncanny resemblance to that of Peter Gabriel...And no, I'm not drunk.

[lindakay39]

@Efrasnel It is Frampton.

[kenfig]

God it feels Sad to remember this song and how fast your life goes

[kana498]

IM IN TOTAL AGREEMENT CANT TOP THIS SONG

[englishsandy]

truly exeptional production,masterpiece of a song and the concept is bloody amazing,music as it should be not tiny little girls singing about a boy and lipstick.These are MUSICIANS,Truly amazing.

[MrAugustus88]

even though Steve Howe is not involved in the song, it reminds me of his face,

[MrAugustus88]

A psychedelic-progg masterpiece, by Peter Frampton, from 1967-1968. It includes amazing orchetrations.

[willnotallow]

I want to be 14 again.

Start over and miss out all the shite I had.

[ShadyPastel]

I have this song, I can't believe someone has found the videos!!! Incredible. You could tell back then that Pete's guitar was straining at the bit to set free to really go !

Thanks sanmiguel357

[balaia52]

Unschlagbare Aufnahme.

[vuctreppi]

distorted audio it`s useless shit

[psychonaut3]

First heard this on Annie Nightingale one Sunday night in the 1990s. Got their From The Underworld and Anthology albums - don't know why it took so long for me to search for this gem on YouTube - cheers for sharing.

[candybrae]

This "REALLY" is my all time fav.

[willnotallow]

Yeah man, I was 14 then, oh my God I wish I knew then what I know now.

[englishsandy]

Along with "Excerpt" this is on of the most memorable peices of music from the 60's.

Just wonderful Andy Bown & Pete Frampton ? who were the rest please? I can't remember.Truly exceptional piece of music.

[penrhyndeundraeth]

@englishsandy Andrew Steele (drums) and Gary Taylor (bass).

[englishsandy]

@penrhyndeundraeth tar ever so.Those 2 names ring a bell in my mind.I am sure they joined other groupo.Do you know if they didi?

[penrhyndeundraeth]

@englishsandy Check the link with wikipedia 

[flammasherman]

@englishsandy Andrew Steele & Andy Bown,also I agree, one of my favourites from ' 67.

[englishsandy]

@flammasherman thanks and the music is just mind blowing in a good way.Take care.

[SPACE7AMSTERDAM]

Frampo G R E A T !!

[treborkellogs]

the first record i bought still class

[anthonydansullivan]

I am almost 60 years old. I loved this song, still do. But you old farts never, ever, write off today's music. It's still good, all you need is ears and attitude. You are all locked in an era. That's not neccessarily bad but if you were 18 you'd give exactly the same argument about today's music. Which proves it's all bollocks. I don't want our loving to die? lol

[soulmagi]

Thanks I really loved this song in the 60s and still do

[BART51258]

Sorry couldn't put the link into the Bolan song, but it's worth checking out!

[BART51258]

Great song, for another delv into the underworld check out Marc Bolan's 'Dandy In The Underworld' this is a 'live' TV performance from 1977, containing some of Bolan's best lyrics.

[steve1to10]

Stunning. This is exactly what the Sixties represented- intelligent lyrics (Orpheus & Eurydice), freedom to venture into undefined territories (despite being 'pop' music), brilliant music and what a production!. Timeless excellence.

[morquipgirl1]

@steve1to10

This song brings me to tears.... the underlying melody has the epitomy of the late 60's.....

[patoo1000]

@steve1to10 Right on my friend!

[candybrae1]

@steve1to10 You are so right there Steve 

[Enothrae]

@steve1to10 well I wouldnt go as far as saying the sixties represented smart lyrics. more than today ill give you that.

[idle44]

@Enothrae I think the point is that the top 20 had 20 distinctive sounds you could identify. So the Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Herd were creative stand alone artists. I could go on you can not mistake Lulu, Petrula Clarke for Dusty Springfield and so on. It's getting late. I'm not well and getting old goodnight.

[flammasherman]

In my all time Top 10 of favourite songs, remember hearing it at Pauls Variety Fare Cafe on the jukebox, whilst at Cambridge Technical College, East Road, Autumn 1967, just simply never tire of hearing it- a masterpiece !

[Robmont1953]

peter frampton

[davao2001]

AWESOME, incredibly good, top music. That's all I can say about this song.

[boxey24]

What would we do without YOU, YOU TUBE, tracks like this one could be lost to generations of music lovers.

Thanks again for posting

[consol1974]

ein ganz großer Oldie,schön das ich das lied hier gefunden habe,immer und überall hörbar

[jocke52]

i miss the sixtys, was a cracy and funny time

[Mega19491949]

NOW THIS IS CLASS!

[toyo4000]

Great music, listen and learn so called " pop stars of today " you could'nt even tie their shoe laces, what it means or the story it tells is yours to understand. Enjoy people!

[dinkeldal]

alles was open alles lag voor mij

zo jong en verlegen zo onzeker en soms kon ik er niet meer tegen

prachtige tijd from the underworld

[FORTBAXTER]

Proper pop / rock music. The same sort of stuff that all today's nameless / faceless bands try and replicate.

[ColumRogers]

So glad i discovered The Herd there was and still are no one quite like them.

[candybrae]

take me back to those wonderful years...when bands played our tunes ....when you could understand the words.....when we were all in love with the Herd.

[BULLETPATABLE]

From the underworld by the Herd is my all-time favourite song.

[candybrae]

Bulletpatable.....mine too!!!!!!

[RocksiePocksie]

Yeah, you're right about that! Couldn't agree more.

[piroschka6]

wow, this song is so wonderful.....close my eyes and i m back at 17...........

[dinkeldal]

fantastische single  duizenden keren gedraaid ..kapot gedraaid

[flammasherman]

Fantastic memories, on the juke box at Paul's Variety Fare, cafe, East Road,Cambridge,opposite the Technical College,early winter of ' 67,loved it then and still do, in my own personal all time Top 20.Brilliant and unique !.

[candybrae]

flammasherman...this is surley the best of the best with all the memories it brings back to our generation

[yumyummoany]

Ahh, The Herd - lovely! Especially this one - groovy!

[silverlink14]

fantastic memories brought right back

[ColeslawBoyz]

look how cool that dude is playing the drums

[Paquito1956]

Thanks SanMIguel for posting this great song.!!!

The music really grasps the atmosphere of the underlying story.

[mysticmariah]

Oh WOW! I went to see them at The Top Rank Suite in the late 60's. Me and 2 friends we managed to get in at the age of 13! - all dressed up in our elder sisters' gear and loads of make-up. We had to hitch home cos we spent all our money on the entrance fee!

What a night!

[StormyValance]

Excellent. Thanks sanmiguel357

[zetechats]

wot a band wot a song long live the sixties

[gribouileetchristian]

AAAAAAAAAA SUPER

[si11100]

One of the best songs from the sixties but hardly ever played on the radio in the UK these days. The Herd had only three hit songs but could and should have been massive.

[TheStephmaster]

I'm feeling like I'm sixteen again

[ColumRogers]

The drummer looks like Colin Morgan from the TV programme Merlin.

[drumheadthe1st]

AAAHHH Yes...a very young Peter Frampton and I think Andy Bown on keys. Great stuff indeed. Geez there not rapping....lol. I wonder why?

[boxey24]

Many thanks again Sanmiguel for posting a great song, and thanks to the viewers who have given me the thumbs up. Wish we had songs/groups like The Herd these days.

[ColumRogers]

I am a young person who has been loving 60's music for most of my life and words cannot describe how much i love The Herd.

[KeefieUK]

Good for you - glad you enjoy it as it was a special time, believe me, was there - now gone. Only the memories.

[cathyosborne]

Fab! really cool - and after all these years!

[KeefieUK]

Yup, London certainly turned out many interesting music and superior groups back in the sixties. This is one of all time favourites.

[troji2004]

einfach super dieser Titel aus meinen früheren TAGEN - long time ago.

greetings Klaus from Germany.

[willnotallow1]

OMG

I'd forgotten this. great to hear and it takes me back to my early teens, first love etc

[master747100]

me too, I was only 16 at the time. Good musicians never die, the keyboard player is still with Status Quo so i understand!

[heekale]

The story told in this song is from the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.

[MyHumourRoom]

TriumVirateABAP. Right on. It was a great time growing up in the UK in the 60's and 70's. I wanted to be a drummer but my parents made me get a trade. Bugger all my mate's went on to be household names. YouTube lets us relive thoe's time's. Thanks.

[candybrae]

I was a drummer in the sixties. my dreams were fulfilled. I still have my drumkit.

[MyHumourRoom]

candybrae. I too have my drumkit. I now play along with the groups on You Tube. Parents were right now retired but having fun.

[candybrae]

MyHumourRoom...what is the name of the group you play with....I will look it up on youtube.

[MyHumourRoom]

I play along to Youtube Rock-N-Roll music on my own in my study. But Love it.

[englishsandy]

TriumVirateABAP boy you got it right on what you said.You really now how to put things into words.Good on you mate.

[TriumVirateABAP]

Sometimes something comes through form another time, it steps into view and we do not desrie to see it eye to eye because we are afraid that it was even possible the GOD knew us deep down and that IT could know *everything right down to the tiniest detail!

Peope raised alone, raised by elders two generations from them keeping children in some sort of vacuum time warp.

[TriumVirateABAP]

Where were we then? Movements of Music & Lyrics, and the artists that platformed voice to stir souls out of slumber & lethargy.

Originals who speak for another

[TriumVirateABAP]

I will never rid myself of accent no matter what I try, forgive me!

What I meant to say is that some indeed are touching many of other times and yet some very special artists come out of no where to acknowledge certain point which is precisely hitting important markers, and lives are transformed. Sometimes doctrine drowns so many, whereas musical Poets call all people in every station and background to their basics.

What ever makes souls blossom is certainly a calling to lift spirits.

[dyci12345]

i was 17 when this tune was on the the charts. i am now a grandfather of 59 and what a track, i feel 17 again

[candybrae]

this is one of my all time favs. .....I remember it like it was yesterday.

[candybrae]

dyci12345..... me too

[dalreichmoor]

i bought this single when it came out all those years ago,i still love this song. i think it was ahead of its time and how hearing it again brings back good memories. thanks for uploading it. i have put it on my favourites ,cheers.

[captainkundalini1]

Anyone know where I can get hold of the lyrics?

[penrhyndeundraeth]

Try putting "chords and lyrics The Herd From The Underworld" into google.

[arfurchance10]

I think my personal fave records growing up were and possibly still are (apart from anything Dusty did) were this one and The Letter by The Boxtops

Regards to all. Ray

[arfurchance10]

What a time to be ALIVE!

Ray

[candybrae]

The best of the rest Ray..........

[boxey24]

I first heard this one in the sixties, it gets even better every time I listen to it. Many thanks again for posting.

[penrhyndeundraeth]

Songwriting at it's brilliant unique to the 60s best!!

Now with the deep dark river behind us what could go wrong if I stayed strong in mind. Whay was the sudden lapse into madness, what was the urge that turned my head round to look at you? What was the stubborn will to destroy the love and joy I nearly held?

[davao2001]

unbelievable perfect music!

[candybrae]

...the words mean everything....so poignant....the words of love.........Thank you for the words of love that was there in the sixties.

[PAULLONDEN]

This is such a beautiful

fully realised piece of music ♫

[Wardimus83]

Please somebody help me! Im trying to find, The Herd - Charlie Anderson, can someone message me if they know where to download it.

[boxey24]

Could still be a hit to-day with the right band.

[TriumVirateABAP]

Momentful moments when bands like these of the 60's and 70's marched for PEACE. We saw our fellas return from the war only to never be the same...somehow our young people lost the sparkle of the light in them. The misery of the confusion and fear that is let loose in the world to ravage on humanity is just too much. Can we allow these eyes to see anymore of this carnage? Would we shed a tear to see our little ones cry at blatant hate go so far.

[MyHumourRoom]

Beautiful words. What in the H**L has happened to this World?

[Reach16]

Peter Frampton

Face of 1968 Gorgeous

Scream Scream scream

[candybrae]

Please bring back those days....the Herd...the best...Peter....love of my life

[tonypendrey]

Loved this song for 42 years and never seen this !!!!!  Thanks sanmiguel.

[SydneyTrull]

So glad this has made it onto the site.I still have the single and play it often,Takes me right back.Peter Frampton.....I love you!!
