      I prefer the stereo version. The dynamics are great, very detailed, especially on time of the season. All round great album and sound.

        Great record but this pressing is not. Voice is quiet sometimes in Care Of Cell 44, Butchers Tale and others too

          I have the varese vintage ending in 3 can only compare it to a cd and it’s just a brilliant piece of late 60s gold . Just buy it and enjoy its genius

            I haven't listened to this record for over 20 years. Today I have found this treasure of variety and melody of psychedelic music in my shelf.
            I can listen to this disc 2-3 times in a row without getting bored. What a beautiful peace of art

              As a person who spent 700$ to buy a NM copy, I can assure you that it doesn't worth it at all.
              Sounds just a fraction better than my Time of the Zombies AAA reissue'73 which was bought for 45$ LOL
              Only reasonable for collector's purposes, not sound wise...

                I have a Canadian cover with an UK orange Columbia label. I bought this new at Sam The record Man in Toronto when I was kid. It has a Pars printed cover. Has anyone else seen this combination.

                  As I recall there was a Newbury Comics exclusive multi color splatter wax version of this album a few years ago yet I can find no mention of it here. Someone has to make a release variant for this version. I regret not getting it.

                    I think this is truly a well recorded album to be from 1968. Great bass and dynamics.

                      Is there any version of this album that does not have the horns on This Will Be Our Year? I would love a vinyl copy of that version if someone could point me to it!
