HOLLIES/EVOLUTION PMC 7022 (-67) UK MONO

One of the best psych albums of the sixties. Twelve strong tracks with memorable melodies and groovy lyrics, all written by the band. Top of the line production, arrangements and mixing. Great vocal harmonies and on the spot backing. Superb pressing and audio. Clearly recorded with this mono mix first hand. It's made with the music in mind and probably supervised by one or a few of the group members - and by the time the stereo was made by some anonymous studio engeneer the group had left long ago. I've heard a few different variations through the years, but non of them even comes close to this UK mono. Issued in US on Epic (LN24315/BN26315) with different tracking - three of the original songs were removed and "Carrie Ann" added. The US copies I've heard all seemed slightly remixed with tons of reverb added. First UK with label as shown here, thick unflexible vinyl and laminated flip/back cover. (HÖLY*) (PÖX*)
