Quick thoughts: Weak Sauce. This is a very poor month of music. I do not see myself spending a lot of time listening to these albums in the future.

This song really stands out in a month of weak albums: Tim Hardin – If I Were a Carpenter

Notable Singles released this month: The Doors – Light My Fire /// Franki Valli – Can’t Take My Eyes Off You /// The Who – Pictures of Lily
