This is a UK first press mono edition, offering the original intended mix - punchy, direct, and heavily focused, as heard on initial 1960s UK pressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"888\"\u003eRich in experimentation and melodic ambition, the album stands as one of the more understated gems of the late-60s British underground.
