This is one of the better Beatles-inspired US pop/psych albums. It’s a short album (ten brief songs), but still has a bunch of variety and melodic ideas to spare. Lots of sitar, some great fuzz guitar, even gypsy violins and calypso beats. A few good-timey songs at the end of side one may annoy some, but they’re good for what they are, and the rest is even better. Great cover, too. Also released by Columbia in Canada.
