Recorded in Abbey Road in the same period as Sgt. Pepper and Piper at the Gates of Dawn, by Norman "Normal" Smith, this is top-notch British psych with just as much warped imagination to it as the two aforementioned masterpieces, yet done on a far smaller budget.
I just bought the 2003 remaster today and its wonders are still sinking in. I can't believe I've missed out on it all these years. In my ignorance I always had The Pretty Things down as Stones clones, but this is way better than Mick n' Keef's psychedelic efforts.
It came out belatedly in 1968, was barely promoted by EMI, and duly bombed. A big pity.
