That Other Place<p>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...</p><p>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.</p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/beatles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>beatles</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/crystals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>crystals</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/philspector" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>philspector</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/recordmirror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>recordmirror</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/recordreviews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>recordreviews</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/musicjournals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicjournals</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a></p>
