This late 1967 album found the Hollies making some modest adjustments to the psychedelic era: occasionally trippy studio effects, a sitar on their most psychedelic track ("Maker"), songs that didn't always deal with boy-girl relationships.
But the group's focus remained where it usually was: modest but pleasing, similar-sounding catchy tunes with high harmonies and strumming guitars.
Better than their earlier 1967 LP, Evolution, it contains some of their better album-only cuts ("Postcard," "Pegasus," "Butterfly," "Away Away Away")
Side 1:
Dear Eloise
Away, Away, Away
Maker
Pegasus
Would You Believe
Wish You A Wish

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels - barely a spindle trace to be seen
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like new (no prominent track divisions - a la Sgt. Pepper's)
VINYL Audio: MINT
Plays beautifully throughout with nothing to fault the clean, crisp, immediate *STEREO* cut - I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate - very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Crisp and sharp with a deep gloss to the front laminate, a clean back and unworn edges and spine where all text is clear and bold
