Often presented a US eleven track version of the UK fourteen track Mighty Garvey album (Fontana TL/STL 5470), but it could also be seen as an exclusive. Apart from a totally different sleeve design this omitts the three "Happy Families" tracks, and "Harry The One-Man Band", instead adding "Semi-Detached Suburban Mr. James" - a 1966 45 A-side. While the UK was a kind of theme album built around the made-up person "Mighty Garvey", all traces of that was expunged here and instead you get a pop/psych LP with no concept attached. It feels good to have the three top singels "The Mighty Quinn", "Ha Ha Said The Clown" and "Semi-Detached Surburban Mr. James" on the same plate, together with other highlights as the catchy "Each And Every Day" plus psych numbers like "Every Day Another Hair Turns Grey" and "It's So Easy Falling". My only reservation would be the audio on this press. Bass low in the mix most of the time, making it sound very sharp. A little more warmth would have made it a lot better. Title song is mono and comes out great, while HHSTC sounds like some kind of fake stereo. The rest true stereo. In any case special enough to earn its own safe place on the shelf. Vinyl issues also in Canada and Downunder. Premiere US had label as shown here in a glossy sleeve. (MÄNÄ*) (YZÄ*)
