The Ravers

 



I love this whole other meaning the word "raver" had in the 1960s - basically a sexually wild 'n 'free young woman

The solicitous, condescending tones of the interviewer in this Man Alive report are something else 

Simon Dupree and the Big Sound was the pop-psch band of Ray Shulman (A.R. Kane producer / mentor ) and his brothers  - which then turned into the ultra-prog outfit Gentle Giant

This was SD & the BS's big hit




The Associates, under an alias - 39 Lyon Street -  covered it

  1. Was "raver" not more of a gender-free descriptor in the 60's? You can't read anything about the early days of The Kinks that doesn't describe Dave Davies as a world-class raver.
