(WE AIN'T GOT) NOTHIN' YET (The Spectres)
"(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet" is a song by the American rock band Blues Magoos, released in October 1966. It was written by Ron Gilbert, Ralph Scala and Mike Esposito. "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet" was released as a single by the British Rock band The Spectres (a predecessor of Status Quo) in 1967. (More from Wikipedia)
At about the same time as "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)" by the Electric Prunes but on the opposite coast, a Bronx, New York band called Blues Magoos had a hit single with "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet" that reached #5 on the Billboard charts. Almost immediately after the song's original release, in February 1967, a British band called the Spectres released their own version of "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet". By the end of that year, the band had changed its name to the Status Quo (dropping "the" in 1969 to become Status Quo). In January 1968, they released a psychedelic single of their own, "Pictures of Matchstick Men", which was a #12 hit in the US and a #7 hit in the UK.
