Brinsley Schwarz's father was my maths teacher when I was 11! Group was named after the house they lived in in Sevenoaks. Remember going out to buy this single when it came out. Still have it somewhere.

[baccybabs]

I knew all these guys & used to go to their practise sessions in John Seymours mums front room!!!!!( in the early days!) I still keep in touch with Dave Cottam .....

[POPAVIDEO]

connaissait pas

pensait que c 'était un morceau des TOMORROW .

[laineythenomad]

Hey, this is great! Does anyone remember their song "Tomorrow Today" (I think that was the title but not sure) and if so, is there a clip of it anywhere?

[longboarder771]

great song with great pictures, it takes me back to the days of pirate radio

[billieredsocks]

Brilliant!  Thanks for posting this rare gem!

[chuckdee121]

I think I have this as Keith West, but can't remember. Anyhow, great. Oh, any chance you have In My Life by Kippington Lodge???

[Refrescospepito]

I much prefer this version than Tomorrow one.

[garageband66]

I have not heard that one.

[dddangerr]

My fave is Kippington Lodge's "Tell me a story".  Can't find this song anywhere. Too bad my 60s single record of this song is totally worn out,

[garageband66]

I will check my UK connections to see what I can find.

Originally recorded by the 'legendary' Tomorrow on their only LP. Keith West was the singer and they also featured Steve Howe on guitar and Twink on drums. Used to do a mime fight during their stage act.

[garageband66]

A "mime fight"? Mmmmm. Must have been interesting.

[hawkmoon03111951]

I think it was between Twink and Junior the bass player. Long time ago now. Last saw them in 1967 a few months before they disbanded.

[maida1982a]

KL was essentially the same band as "Brinsley Schwarz"-really just a name change. Didn't help too much-but no denying quality of music and talent.

[garageband66]

True but I have heard of other British garage bands that also covered this and to me this is the better version.

[reluctantpopstar]

Also I believe this was part of the (legendary never finished) Mark Wirtz Teenage Opera project. Now THERE'S something for you to do some research on. Start Googling, buddy.

[garageband66]

Sure, I'll get right on that.

I just thought it had an interesting hook.

[45rpmSINGLES]

Certainly produced by Wirtz and Shy Boy was written by `Hopkins-Burgess` . Hopkins is Keith Hopkins better known as Keith West of Excerpt From A Teenage Opera(Grocer Jack) / Sam fame.

This song doesnt feature Nick Lowe as he didnt join the band until later on.

[garageband66]

i don't believe I credited Nick on this recording if you read the liner notes on the video.

[etypebob]

Wow Terry, you are getting good at this! Great song and a surperb job on creating this video. Very well done.

Thanks for the comments, the friendship, and the view.

[naishdave]

love it. you just dont find lyrics like "he makes the tea at ten and then at three again - he buys her biscuits" any more.

[garageband66]

But it rhymes! A necessary component for pop song s back then.

Thanks for the view.

[smokeemonkee]

@naishdave It's cool you pointed that lyric out... that's the kinda stuff I love too!
