Burning Up Years is 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 is a version of a 1969 song by Birmingham progressive rock trio Hard Meat, whose original version was the B-side of their cover of The Beatles' "Rain".[2]
Other cover versions on the album were The Kinks' "You Really Got Me", Neil Young's "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" (listed as "I Think I'll Go Back Home" and miscredited in the liner notes to New Zealand-born songwriter/guitarist Jesse Harper) and Ashton, Gardner & Dyke's "Maiden Voyage", wrongly credited to Maurice Greer.
