Sounds and Sights of the Year 1966

Post by mrpicard »

This thread contains information taken from an article written by 3rd&4thT on the gearslutz.com forum.

On the D*A*M Forum a number of people are looking to replicate the sounds of the 1960s, particularly 1966, and hence one of the reasons for the D*A*M 1996 pedal. However, when searching for "that sound" you have to remember that 1966 was a very different time from now. The audio technology was extremely primitive. For example, consumer speakers were lousy; they were made out of cardboard and they were opaque and without transient response. There was no such thing as "stereo"; in 1966 only 4 stereos were purchased in Europe and only 9 were purchased in the United States. FM radio was only reliably mono, cars did not have FM radios. AM radio had a 4K cutoff and of course you heard this mainly through 6"x9" speakers. On top of that the actually recording technology in the studio was extremely basic, to say the least. So, when you are trying to replicate your "1966" sounds from all your favorite pedals you need to take the above into context.

Below is 7 minutes' worth of bits of hits from Billboard's Top 50 of 1966 (fair use of fragments for noncommercial, educational use in a professional forum etc). Nothing is compressed, EQed, modified etc, etc, this is 100% exactly how the recording would have sounded on a player in 1966. Believe-it-or not but the distortion in the recording is representative of the chains of the period. One thing you will note is how different the sound quality of Paperback Writer is compared to other recordings of the time. This is because The Beatles wanted their songs to stand out and as a result they pushed the boundaries of the technology in order to create a high quality sound (in fact, they were instrumental in many audio improvements we now consider standard). Listening to this you kind of get the idea how different Paperback Writer sounded to other recordings of the time.

Very true about The Beatles recordings, but I think alo lot of the fascination with 1966 has a lot to do with guys that were pushing the boundaries of music and culture. I think it's pretty obvious on these recordings who was looking forward & who was aping trends. Cool post sir! :cheers:

I found this, it's interesting how The Ballad of the Green Berets is at the top of the chart & Shapes of Things is at the bottom.

Top 100 Hits of 1966/Top 100 Songs of 1966
Billboard Year-End Hot 100 charts. Note that from 1956 to 1958, Billboard only compiled top 50 charts, and from 1950 to 1955, they compiled only top 30 charts. What is now the Hot 100 existed for nearly fifteen years as numerous charts, tracking and ranking the most popular singles of the day in several areas. The methods and policies by which this data is obtained and compiled have changed many times throughout the chart's history. Billboard has also changed its Hot 100 policy regarding "two-sided singles" several times. During periods in which singles sales were strong, the Hot 100 allowed both sides of a single (A-side and B-side) to chart together (occupying the same position), provided that both sides were receiving significant radio airplay. Pre-Hot 100 charts listed A-and-B-sides together. For more detailed information on how the Billboard compiled the charts, see the Wikipedia article "Billboard Hot 100".

Now that's an interesting list! Because it's written from a modern perspective, it demonstrates how a seemingly insignificant occurence can have major implications! Makes me wonder what developments, other than the headlines, I should pay attention to.

What happened to 14th May 1966 ? Everton win the FA Cup 3-2 having gone two goals down. Considered one of the greatest comebacks in an FA Cup final of the modern era. Not that I'm biased or anything.... :hihi:

They probably cost the same as a small house and were the size of a snooker table :hihi: And crowds formed whenever one of the nine was powered up to play this new fangled stereo ! It won't catch on said the naysayers - mono will never be bettered, it's just a cheap gimmick :whistle:

Here is a TV ad from around 1966. Evidently portable stereo devices were all the rage on public buses...



Speaking of stereos "the size of a snooker table", they had some great ones by 1968. Computer crafted no less!!!
