The Kinks, featuring temporary bassist John Dalton, appear on this week's Ready Steady Go! with live performances of the group's latest single, 'Sunny Afternoon,' along with the as-yet-unreleased Ray Davies composition, 'Dandy.' 'Sunny Afternoon' will soon push The Beatles' 'Paperback Writer' from the top spot, reaching No. 1 for the week ending July 13. 'Dandy' will become a top-5 US hit for Herman's Hermits in September.

As 'Sunny Afternoon' continues its ascent up the charts, the group's schedule is at such a whirlwind that Dave Davies falls ill from physical exhaustion, necessitating the cancellation of a string of UK dates at the end of June and the first week of July.

Also appearing on this week’s Ready Steady Go!: Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, Norma Tanega, Tom Jones, Dave Berry, and an interview with former Yardbirds bassist, Paul Samwell-Smith.
