Album Notes & Community Reviews

Heavily utilizing the Abbey Road studios, The Hollies bathe their signature three-part vocal harmonies in phasing effects, sitars, and string orchestration. The songwriting moves away from Merseybeat pop toward whimsical, highly arranged vignettes characteristic of the British psychedelic era.
