Tomorrow - BBC Sessions (1967-1968)

Have you ever heard of the British rock band "Tomorrow?" They were one of the pioneer psychedelic bands, but were only in existence for a short time, from 1967 to 1968. Today, they're probably best known for their guitar player Steve Howe, who later became a key member of the band "Yes."

If you want to know more, here is the Wikipedia page on them:

It turns out they have enough BBC sessions for an album, but just barely. This album is 34 minutes long.

Many of the songs suffered from the usual BBC problem of the time of BBC DJs talking over some of the music. Those are marked with "[Edit]," as usual, and I wiped those DJ voices with the UVR5 audio editing program, as usual.

You may see that one song here, "Excerpt from a Teenage Opera (Grocer Jack)," is credited to Keith West instead of Tomorrow. I've included it because West was the lead singer of Tomorrow at the time. He got kind of a side job of singing the lead vocals for a planned rock opera. It ended up not being released, but this single was in 1967, and it was a number two hit in Britain, and a hit in most other Western countries except for the US. The song was very produced, with a children's chorus and other such things, so it was challenging to perform live. Thus, this version had live lead vocals, but the rest was a backing track. 

Three of the songs in officially released versions on an obscure BBC rarities compilation (tracks 1, 2, and 8). They had slightly better sound, so I've replaced those. Everything else is officially unreleased.

UPDATE: On December 31, 2024, I updated the mp3 download file. I noticed that the blogger Prof. Stoned posted a version of this band's BBC sessions earlier in 2024. He had one song I didn't, "Shy Boy," so I included that. He also had better sounding versions of most of the others, so I used his versions, and then removed the BBC DJ talking from them again.

I was complaining recently how there seems to be no or almost no good color photos of bands like the Idle Race or the Steampacket. Tomorrow is another such case. I found what I thought at first was a good color photo, shown here, but then on closer inspection I realized it was colorized with sepia tones. So I took that and colorized it some more, changing the clothes, hair, greenery, and such.
