The Hollies: Evolution 1967


1967 was the year of "Sgt. Pepper" and "Their Satanic Majesties Request". Everybody was either ripping off The Beatles or The Stone's new sound. The Hollies took their own approach to psychedelia, ahead of its time in their own garage-rock way. They always had incredible harmonies and great guitar effects. "Evolution" is a classic mix of experimental studio-trickery and raw rock and roll singles. The album cover was made by Karl Ferris, who is often credited as creating the first psychedelic photograph for an album cover.
