Burning Up Years was the debut album by New Zealand blues-rock band The Human Instinct. It was released in 1969 and reissued on CD by Ascension Records in 2001.
The album's title track was a version of a 1969 song by Birmingham progressive rock trio Hard Meat. Hard Meat's original version appeared as the B-side of their cover of The Beatles' "Rain").[1]
Other cover versions on the album were The Kinks' "You Really Got Me" and Neil Young's "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" (listed as "I Think I'll Go Back Home" and wrongly credited to New Zealand-born songwriter/guitarist Jesse Harper).
