"I had these dreams that something was gonna' happen, seeing the numbers 1966 in my sleep, so I was just passing time until then". - Jimi Hendrix

On December 9, 1966, Cream's first album, 'Fresh Cream', was released in the United Kingdom. The rock era of the late 60's had begun.

Here's some biggies from 1967, the ones I knew, I'm sure there are others. In those days, news traveled a lot slower. It took awhile for all this to sink in.
