Another fun discovery from Record Mirror (March 26, 1966)!
James Brown & the Famous Flames visited UK for the first time in March 1966. There was also a special episode of the popular TV show Ready Steady Go! dedicated to him.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any surviving video footage from this performance. However, as you can see from the comments sent by the Record Mirror readers, the British TV audience wasn't really ready for him at the time.

I've spent a couple of hours browsing through 1960s British music magazines for a writing project. As usual, I've ended up picking up lots of fun stuff that have no relation to what I was actually looking for...
Like these two record reviews from Record Mirror (October 13, 1962). Apparently the ending of the Crystals' "He's a Rebel" was deemed "too wild for polite English ears". The reviewer clearly wasn't too impressed with the first effort of a "strangely-monikered" new British group either.
