    Not psychedelic in the least, unless you think adding strings and reverb on vocals makes it psychedelic

      This record is magical! Sunshine pop/psych, creates wonderful feelings! Great album!

        why this great lp has never been reissued?its unfair at least...

          A crisp, lush optimistic well-arranged 60s sunshine/psych pop treat filled with beautiful melodic songs, warm romantic (at times breathtaking) baroque orchestral arrangements, Philly-soul-like vocals & symbiotic harmonies.
          Just magically beautiful.

              Well with the cover I expected it to be a real psychedelic pop rock, but finally it seems to be a imitation of Frank Sinatra or other 60s pop rock signer with orchestra...
              I'm a little bit disapointed 😅

              It's like Days Of The Future ed by The Moody Blues. Just not made by the London Orchestra and with less rock.. more pop.
              "The Dream" is the only song that the vibe is psychedelic.
