"Scenes (from Another World)" is a 1967 single by Canadian rock group the Scene. It was their only release, reaching number 13 on the RPM chart.
Background The chance for the Scene to record the single for the B.T. Puppy label came about as a result of Neil Sheppard (also known as Neil Ship) being in New York. In New York Sheppard met the label owners, Hank Medress and the Tokens, and ended up doing some studio work for them. In late 1967, he helped his brother Michael Ship, a member of the Scene, to get a one-off single deal. The result was the psychedelic rock flavored "Scenes (from Another World)" (with "You're in a Bad Way" as the B side), which was released on the B.T. Puppy 533 label that year.Both Sides Now Publications - B.T.
