The Hollies - King Midas In Reverse (1967)

 In 1967, The Hollies made the great leap into psychedelic rock, mostly spearheaded by Graham Nash. They recorded and released two psych classics that year, Evolution and Butterfly. They also releases several singles that didn't end up on either album, either. Cheif amoung these is Nash's "King Midas in Reverse", which he would go on to perform with Crosby, Stills, and Nash, despite the underperformance of the song when released by The Hollies. 

Also in '67, The Hollies recorded two singles specifically for release in Italy, two of the four songs being in Italian. Huh. There's only Eleven songs this time around, and they're bookened by the Italian tracks. All 11 of the songs were recorded in '67.

The cover is from The American release of Butterfly, which included "King Midas in Reverse", so was titled Dear Eloise / King Midas In Reverse, but I removed the "Dear Eloise" part, since that's the opening track of Butterfly.
