Great, but false advertised

Like the title says this was a great listen but on the picture is shows the UK Version so I bought it on vinyl excepting the UK version. When the album came I was disappointed to see the US version instead of the UK

New Vinyl Release of Evolution

One of the best Hollies albums ever. I've loved this record since it came out and this presentation with both the mono and the stereo version of the recordings is superb. Best sound quality ever, along with the pressing quality which was immaculate on both records. Cover was done beautifully as well. Whoever was behind this re-release on vinyl did it with true love and care and it shows. Highly recommended.

A Hit and Miss Album!

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2011

"Evolution" was the first of two Hollies albums released in 1967. The band did a lot of experimenting in those years, both in songwriting and arrangements. Some of it worked, some of it didn't. "Butterfly" is often hailed as their finest and most consistent, whereas "Evolution" suffers from being anything but consistent. The songwriting is more or less on par with "Butterfly", but some arrangements in various degrees ruin the songs.

Worst is the "underwater" effect put on Graham Nash's voice on "Lullaby to Tim". It could have been a great track, but as it is, it's almost unlistenable. I have often wondered if a version with unruined vocals exists.

The distorted guitars put on the opening track "The the Heartaches Begin" and "Have You Ever Loved Somebody", give a forced feeling that does not help the songs, which are really good Hollies songs. The Searchers proved that "Have You Ever Loved Somebody" even had hit-potentials.

Enough negative words said, because there are plenty of succesful tracks that make the album quite enjoyable after all.

Like on the previous album all songs were written by Clarke, Hicks and Nash and Allan Clarke and Graham Nash more or less share the lead vocals with Tony Hicks joining in on choruses etc.

"Stop Right There" is a nice quiet Graham Nash ballad; fine violin solo. Nash also takes the lead vocals on one of the big highlights on the album "When Your Lights Turned On"; classic up-beat Hollies with great guitars and harmonies.

The nostalgic "Ye Olde Toffee Shop" featuring harpsichord is quite charming, but no more.

On "Games We Play" Clarke and Nash share the lead vocals. Incredible that this song was not released as a single. Extremely catchy with funny ( naive ) teenage lyrics.

Allan Clarke demonstrates his powerful vocals on several tracks such as "You Need Love" and "Leave Me".

"Water on the Brain" is another example; a song which also features a charming trombone solo.

So all in all you could call it a hit and miss album, mostly hits!

By the way, this review refers to the British version of the album.
