HOLLIES--Butterfly--Import LP

English import album by HOLLIES entitled "Butterfly".

"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. In fact, however, the group's focus remained where it usually was: modest but pleasing, similar-sounding catchy tunes with high harmonies and strumming guitars. It's not remarkable or essential, but it's certainly pleasant enough, and a bit better than their earlier 1967 LP, Evolution, with some of their better album-only cuts ("Postcard," "Pegasus," "Butterfly," "Away Away Away"). With some track alterations, the record was issued in the U.S. as Dear Eloise/King Midas in Reverse; the U.K. edition, as collectors should note, has a few songs that were never released in the States ("Pegasus," "Elevated Observations?," "Try It")." - Richie Unterberger

Released on EMI/Parlophone Records (PCS 7039) in 1967. It is FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION, NEVER PLAYED and visually grades near mint. The laminates cover is lightly dinged on the corners and right edge. Actual item pictured. NO RESERVE on this ROCK classic.
