1967 *MINT VINYL* ORIGINAL ~
THE HOLLIES ANSWER TO SGT PEPPER...psychedelia
THE HOLLIES
Dear Eloise KING MIDAS IN REVERSE
USA - ((yellow)) Epic Records - LN 24344 - stereo
BEAUTIFUL M- VINYL... 1967 first pressing of one of the truly GREAT Hollies albums, when they were at their *peak* of creativity....
1967's Hollies' take on psychedelia, though less kaleidoscopic than that of the Beatles and the Stones, was every bit as riveting. And nobody could touch the Manchester duo of Allan Clarke and Graham Nash when it came to those goose-pimply harmonies. "King Midas In Reverse" proved the crowning achievement -- an all-stops-pulled, hip pocket, rainbow-symphony that will live forever...
Brilliant as many of the songs are, it's easy to see/hear by the vast diversity in styles that this was a band clearly divided about it's future direction. There are flowingly smooth poprock melodies that put the Hollies on the map like "Away, Away, Away" and "Step Inside" mixed with heavy, drug-laced psychedelic grooves like "Maker" and "Try It." The arrangements are nearly as complex as "Sgt. Pepper" or "Pet Sounds" with many unexpected moves within the lavish arrangements. One of he best is "Butterfly" with its complete "Days of Future Passed"-style arrangement. "Maker" takes on George Harrison's Indian RagaRock and actually beats it ! The album shows Graham Nash trying to get to the front of the group. 7 of the songs are clearly his with his lead vocal. Overall, the album is a tremendous creative output. Perhaps the Hollies can't hold up to the Beatles, but this album holds up to the best of the style.
