Five by Five is the second EP by the Rolling Stones and was released in 1964. Captured during a prolific spurt of recording activity at Chess Studios in Chicago that June, Five by Five was released that August in the UK shortly after their debut album, The Rolling Stones, had appeared. The title of Five by Five is a play on words—five tracks recorded by a band with five members.

In his book The Rolling Stones: An Illustrated History, British rock critic Roy Carr wrote that "along with the Beatles' Long Tall Sally four-tracker, 5 X 5 is unquestionably the first and last great EP." - Wikipedia

Something Else from the Move is a five-track live EP by the English pop band the Move, released on 21 June 1968 through Regal Zonophone. The Move established themselves with a series of singles that reached the top-five in the UK singles chart, generating hype for an album. After rumours about a live LP began circulating, the Move's manager Tony Secunda pitched an idea about recording an EP of live performances at the Marquee Club in central London.

Reflecting the Move's setlist on stage, Something Else from the Move is exclusively made up of covers of songs by contemporary pop bands such as Love and 1950s singers such as Eddie Cochran. The EP has an eclectic blend between rockabilly and psychedelic music. - Wikipedia

Emotions is the third album by the English rock group The Pretty Things, released in 1967.

Emotions Review by Matthew Greenwald

The Pretty Things were one of the most underrated rhythm & blues bands to come out of the mid-60's British rock explosion. So well-loved by Brits, they were often thought of in the same breath as The Rolling Stones. And, like a lot of great rhythm & blues based groups to come put of England, they stepped somewhat uneasily into the precarious psychedelic music explosion. However, in all fairness, The Pretty Things did come up with a pretty fine and original album, Emotions. Superbly well-orchestrated (especially the gorgeous "The Sun," one of the album's standouts), The Pretty Things didn't lose sight of their R&B leanings, as tracks such as "There Will Never Be Another Day" show.

Get the Picture? was recorded quickly as a follow-up to Pretty Things' self-titled debut album. Jimmy Page cowrote the album's opening song "You Don’t Believe Me".

AllMusic wrote that Get the Picture? was "a record that's just a few notches short of Rolling Stones level in the charisma department" and that "Pretty Things approach Rolling Stones' territory, and even in their off moments, they're flying at the same level as the Kinks' album tracks." Uncut, in a review of the band's studio albums box set, said that the album "showed they were eager to grow". - Wikipedia

The Animals is the self-titled debut album by the British R&B/blues rock band the Animals. It was released in the United Kingdom on 6 November 1964 on EMI's Columbia Records

Review by Bruce Eder

The group's U.K. debut long-player, containing -- in the custom of the time in England -- not one of their singles up to that point, including "House of the Rising Sun." Apart from "Story of Bo Diddley" (which is, itself, heavily steeped in conventions out of Bo Diddley's repertory), everything here is a cover of traditional blues and R&B material, ..For adult orientation, The Animals is roughly on a par with the Rolling Stones' debut LP (though that album is also more fun). The group would do better in the future in a less stiff and intense posture, but this is a strong debut.

#TheBeatles landed at the newly-renamed #JFK International Airport on #ThisDayInHistory in 1964 on their first visit to the United States. Having recently topped the charts here (1 Feb.), they came over to cement #Beatlemania and launch the #BritishInvasion of the US pop charts.

The Clientele, “From a Window” from Suburban Light (2001)

Breaking with my policy of a single selection for these Friday music posts because I've featured so many downtempo tracks and I don’t want to be too one-note, and I find this one irresistible!

#TheClientele can sound so #BritishInvasion-y that they could come off as shtick, if they weren’t so good at it. Here their echoey vocals suggest a 60s recording played on AM radio, and though there’s just a single melodic vocal line - is it the harmonics of this technique? - it somehow hits me like fully harmonized #PowerPop, floating over their basic but pristinely recorded 3-piece rock.

Bonus: The album cover lets this post do double duty for #FensterFreitag / #WindowFriday.

A Session with The Dave Clark Five is the UK debut studio album by the English pop rock band the Dave Clark Five, released in the United Kingdom on 10 April 1964 through EMI's Columbia Records.[1] The album consists of the single "Can't You See That She's Mine" along with covers of "Rumble" by Link Wray & His Ray Men, "On Broadway" by the Drifters, and the Walt Disney song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah."

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, music critic Bruce Eder wrote: "As the group's first venture in making an LP, it's not as strong as their later efforts, though it does show off their range around the sound that would make them international stars. The lack of the presence of a hit single, however, leaves it weaker than most of the group's American-released LPs." - Wikipedia
