Nashville recordings

Released in November 1966, Volume 3 was the final album The Easybeats recorded in Australia before heading to England. Led by the number one single "Sorry", the album captures the band at the height of its domestic success, just before the international breakthrough that would change their history.

Released in October 1966, Elvis Presley's Spinout soundtrack combined nine movie songs with three recordings from Nashville sessions. The most enduring was a five-minute version of Bob Dylan's "Tomorrow Is a Long Time", a performance Dylan later singled out as the cover recording he treasured most.

Released in October 1966, The Kinks’ ‘Face To Face’ marked a decisive shift from the band's early guitar-driven hits towards Ray Davies' sharply observed portraits of English life. Featuring 'Sunny Afternoon', 'Dandy' and 'Session Man', the fourth studio album established a new direction that would shape the band's most celebrated creative period.

Release in October 1966, the duo's third album gave them proper studio time for the first time and delivered Scarborough Fair, Homeward Bound and a stark social collage that still lands six decades later.

Released on October 10, 1966, The Monkees became a chart phenomenon, but the record also captured the unusual reality behind a television band whose members were initially largely kept away from the instruments.

Nina Simone's 1966 album Wild Is The Wind reaches its 60th anniversary with a reputation built on interpretation, restraint and songs that continued to influence generations of artists.

The Mamas & The Papas' second album turns 60 on August 30, 2026, preserving a pivotal chapter in the group's brief but influential run of 1960s hits.
