The Hollies deliver a lite-psych-infused melodic whimsical catchy sunshine/baroque pop LP with an extraordinary ear for melody & gorgeous 4-part harmonies. Sunny colourful music to treasure.
A potent musical mix.

The Butterfly album and the most psych Hollies LP. My fave. Includes Pegasis!! N

Interestingly the mono cut has far far more deadwax than the stereo. Compared to the 'Evolution' in mono it sounds quieter, which it hasn't so much deadwax. But soundwise a stunning cut.

Amazing album. Superb reissue: top pressing, top mastering. Sounds great in both mono and stereo mixes. We need more reissues this way...

No se divulga en medios comerciales pero este disco en circuitos under de la psicodelia es conocido como "the crayol album".

It seems to me that the cover artwork and the catalog number refer to the 1978 reissue!

I've been listening to this record almost non stop since it's arrival on my doorstep last week. And I must say that it was great upon first listen but has improved drastically with every listen.. I've decided that while side one is pretty darn good, that side two is a masterpiece and blows side one off of the turntable!

Best songs from side 1 are Dear Eloise, Maker, Would You Believe and Wishyouawish. But side two it's EVERY song..but if forced to choose the big standouts I guess, would be Postcard, Charlie and Fred, Try It and Step Inside. With Butterfly being a beautiful end to a great album.

I've basically named every song on the album which just further makes my point.. this is a great ALBUM. Definitely the Hollies shining moment since they were mostly known as a singles band.
