Music from 1967 and earlier

I'm attending a Murder Mystery party this Saturday and it's set in "the swinging 60's, the summer of love, 1967". It's going to be pretty funny. There are some clever riffs on famous 60's icons, Lord Michael Jagged (the rockstar), Wiggy (the model) and Oliver Deer (the actor) are a couple of guests. I'm a wine-critic, so I'll gradually progress into a raging drunk by spitting my wine into a bucket (as I usually do anyway). I've got a mop-top wig lined-up and hopefully a comical 'tache to accompany my wino-red nose and snooty manner.

But anyway, I've been put in charge of the playlist so I need some songs from 1967 and before, but obviously with a 60's feel. I've got a lot of the most obvious and pop tracks, but hopefully someone here can put me onto something more awesome. You know, like the rare tunes that only Tarantino would know of.

Here's mine so far:

(apologies for having the title before the artist, that shit annoys me too, but that's the way iTunes exported it)

Jesus, you hit middle-age quickly.

WTF
