F*** the Sex Pistols, the Monkees and Paul Revere, this version is definately the one with bollocks.

@escritora08 The Lp5 are one of the best kept secrets of 1960s ock n roll music. Only recently have their ever increasing number of fans found theri music on You Tube. Currently there are close to twenty sites with their music. I found them first on " Nuggets from the Liverpool Five ( Part1) and .( Part 2)". The comments tell a lot about their unique history, starting in England and ending up in the US..A very versatile band well worth investigating.

@digdugs57 How right you are...the rest are wankers.

There are many different versions of this song done by many bands. There are two versions i would have to say are tops. This one because it has a true mod feel to it and the other one is by The Flies because it has more of a psych sound than The Monkees version.

@7734Duke Let's call a truce.What is 'Original" anyway? Boyce and Hart wrote and recorded it first .The LP5 had included it in their stage act by late 1965, which was when they started recording tunes for their"Arrive" album ( altho not completed and released until 1966). When they actually recorded their released version of "Stepping Stone" I do not know..nor does it really matter.However, my points concerning "verbatim" and added lines remain as valid differences between the two versions.

The Liverpool Five lp with the cut is RCA 3583. Jefferson Airplane's first album was RCA 3584 and it began charting

in Billboard 9-17-66. Paul Revere's was cut 1-4-66. Without a recording date for the L5's, it sure looks like Paul's

was earlier.

@7734Duke Gotta disagree wid ya, you need the facts..This is the only recorded version with the added response lines " Let me be now" and " Set me free now" in the chorus. The Yardbirds borrowed those lines for their stage version after playing some gigs with the LP5. FYI, the Revere version was recorded slightly later than this one, altho the albums came out in the same month. In addition, the Revere version is virtually a verbatim copy of the Boyce and Hart demo disc given to both groups.
