    I also couldn't find this one on the forum: From 1966, it's Yvonne Baker with "You Didn't Say a Word":

    From 1968, it's Chicago quintet The Mauds with "Forever Gone", a driving rock tune reminiscent of early Chicago (then Chicago Transit Authority), with whom they even recorded with (on a different session):

    From 1970, it's Shocking Blue with a strong folk-rock number, "Never Marry a Railroad Man":



    (Shocking Blue had a big hit in the late 60s with "Venus".)

    One of the greatest Canadian songs of all time! Bob Crewe produced and did his usual superlative job.

    How about some accordeon psych from 1968. "Henbanes Sacrifice" from Swedish band Jackpots...very odd with beautiful vocals.

    Here's one I dug up, a great garage tune buried in a live album full of all kinds of easy listening and folk songs, by Japan's Yuzo Kayama & The Launchers:

    I heard this obscure one a TV commercial recently(!). From 1963, it's obscure soul artist Chyvonne Scott with a great soul/R&B number, "I'm Moving On":

    "Burn Up" by Keith DeGroot. A galaxy of session talent on this one!

    I discovered that song just a few months ago. I thought I had already posted it! Maybe in another, similar thread.

    It's very good, although I'm not sure what they're singing about.

    “Why Can’t You Love The Boy Who Loves You?”...my favourite song when I was five!

    The Buggs record holds a special place for me as my very first album. I just bought it again from a seller on Discogs, and I’m playing and loving it right now!

    Spikedrivers-Strange Mysterious Sounds (1967)

    A local Detroit group sounds ala Jefferson Airplane but IMO better.
    A+

    The 3rd Bardo-Im Five Years Ahead of My Time is essential garage psychedelia.(1967) A+

    "Summertime Girl", by the Spanish group Los Iberos. Recorded in London, this song is pure 60s magic.
