Is the song about a woman who went insane?

[Gadmeer]

This is their best hit song. I should know, I am from a golden age. Stampeders? I can't agree with as its simply not true..

[Chrystallaish]

Such a beautiful song!

[MrVapourtrail71]

[proisle]

....this is the best band EVER.

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

This song reminds me of 1968....their other hit, which was the one I liked better, called "Looking at a Baby", hit the Top 40 here in Vancouver in 1967. I knew they were Canadian but I can't remember hearing of them a local band. Guess Who are another Cdn. band from this era. Now the Stampeders who had many hits in the early 70's hailed from Calgary, that I know. I see the Beach Towers on Beach avenue & Grouse Mt. in behind. @1:18 are they at Doggy Beach nearby Kitsilano Park. Thx4 postin'

[jannyrcobs]

Was this shot especially for airplay on the old '60s CBC show Where It's At...?

[fortoate]

so calming...

[pastpanda]

This song puts me in a mood that no other song can. There's just something about it.

[bandcouver]

It's always a hoot to see shots of Vancouver in the 1960's. I think one of the shots is in front of the oddly-shaped apartment block just off the south-west end of the Burrard street bridge.

Beautiful song too.

[bj616]

I agree! Definately a few less buildings back then too. Bill Henderson and his wife May have lived on our island for years now. They are super nice people and I often chat with him when he's in town.

[sixtiesrecords]

Is someone get the lyrics ?

[Fersomling]

Great shots of 1960s Vancouver!

[oldmoviemusic]

This tune is just too good. The Collectors are very underrated and underknown.

Favorited!!!

[cornponebread]

This is absolutely priceless! As a Collectors/Chilliwack fan for going on 40 years, this was thrilling as I had never seen it before. Thank you very much!

[winnentoe]

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C-!

[capnvideo2006]

yes great band from that era.........awesome songs! and yes they became the band Chilliwack. In this video you can see Vancouvers planetarium in the forground in one scene.

[pastpanda]

I've been looking EVERYWHERE for this song! It's one of my favourites, yet everyone seems to have forgotten about it! :(

[Hellsichtiger]

Not Everyone!:)

[winnentoe]

Agree and what about "what love"?

[clw54]

I remember it. I have it on my laptop and listen to it at work now and then.

[MrVapourtrail71]

@pastpanda Can't Find it on Lime or Frost wire...Robin At CFMI 101 Seems to Have a copy...lets ask him. :)

[Thomaspwgy]

Nice song! There are not many known 60's Canadian pop or psychedelic bands!

[Fostersuzanne]

I LOVE THIS BAND

Saw them in Edmonton in 1968.....Blew me away. My best bud had the LP and we would trip for hours on it.

I now have the LP & bought the CD on Ebay.

They became Chilliwack with Bill Henderson being the lead.

I also had the 8 track of their 2nd album. not nearly as well put together.

They do remain one of the best 60's bands from anywhere.

[joanitaylor]

Hell Ya!!!!

[oscargamblesfro]

giant crab covered this one too...

[gesualdo1550]

They're a forgotten corner of the psychedelic movement, but I've always loved this band. Found their 2 albums ("The Collectors" and "Grass & Wild Strawberries") on CD recently, so they are still available. "Lydia Purple" is the only song on these albums that they didn't write and didn't really want to record. Their producer made them. Their other stuff is even better, believe it or not.

[jcpinphx]

Where can I get a CD of the first (Self Titeled) album?

[OnlyrepublikafaninNL]

Bought their album in Holland in the early seventies. Still awaiting a recording of Love Suite... What happened to them ?

[peacedrumguy]

Howie Vickers (lead singer) left the band. Guitarist Bill Henderson took over lead vocals. Band changed name to Chilliwack. Fabulous Canadian band... should have got a lot more recognition than they did. Check out a great Collectors album, "Grass and Wild Strawberries." One of my favorites from that age...

[raincoaster]

Really? Wow, I leave near Chilliwack, remember the band, but didn't know about their roots.

[sixtiesrecords]

Sorry, I didn't know them. It's fantastic, one of the better song that I've ever heard. Pity that we can't have this music quality nowedays...

[nectarine18]

'what love' from the collecters is the best song ever

[RemiFrance]

so true!

[artlongjr]

I love this group, ever since I picked up their brilliant first album many years ago. "Lydia Purple" is

a gorgeous psychedelic ballad, it's great seeing the video!

[janeugenio]

Hey: can you tell me the name of this song? Thanks.

[mcrenshaw]

I saw this video back in the '60s. It's amazing to see it and to hear this beautiful song again....

[Sinnerspace]

This totally kicks ass!! Thanks Beyond

[jeffkahl]

excellent! thanks for posting this!

[jeffkahl]

is this the Canadian band that became Chilliwack?

[beyondthebeat]

Yes -- From Vancouver!!
