RocknRoll firsts

The Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things" is often credited as the first psychedelic single.

Paul Butterfield Blues Band's "East-West" is credited as the first extended modal jam on a rock record.

 

Yeah and Lennon was the 1st and only to return it to protest Britians interference/occupation in Ireland & Britians involvement in Viet Nam.Peace.

 

Rest assured that I know my Chris Clark discography well (proud owner of an CC autographed cd !), but I was only replying to AudiophilePhil's post about "big hit-making act"...Yes, Chris did chart but sadly couldn't compare with Rare Earth saleswise.

 

The first artist to be banned in China ? Recently Katty Perry

 

The Beach Boys also played there

 

I know, they typed another band name on the label(s) for royalty reasons.

 

I know it wasn't actual distortion effects. Guitar amps at that time hadn't that function yet.
In a way that 'new sound' came up accidentally and became common many years later.
So recordings like 'Rocket 88' and 'The Train Kept A-Rollin' by the Johnny Burnette Trio are good documents for that.

 

And because Cold Turkey was slipping down the charts.
