Autumn' 66 is the third studio album by the British rock group the Spencer Davis Group released in 1966. Although the album was not released in the US, the single "Somebody Help Me" was on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts for seven weeks and peaked at number 47 in July, 1967.[1]
Although never released in America, all but four tracks ("When A Man Loves A Woman", "Dust My Blues", "On the Green Light", and "Neighbour Neighbour") were released either as album tracks or as B-sides.
The AllMusic retrospective review by Richie Unterberger commented that "At the peak of their popularity, the Spencer Davis Group's albums were considerably less impressive than their hits", and criticized the album for relying too heavily on covers. However, they named the original songs "Somebody Help Me," "High Time Baby," "On the Green Light," and "When I Come Home" as highlights.[2]
