While posting my reconstructions of albums by 60's band that never appeared at the time, I've revisited some of my earlier posts which were not part of this series, and with this one in particular I found that I was just as guilty as the compliers that I've criticised, throwing in every single track that I could find from the band. That included duplicate takes and early live recordings just to make up the time, and yet I didn't need to as it ended up as a 45-minute album, which was more than long enough. I've therefore revisited this post and updated it, which includes removing one of the duplicate tracks - I've chosen to keep the raw version of 'Life Is Just Beginning' as no other tracks are orchestrated and so it fits better with the rest of the album - and re-jigging the track listing, as I now think that starting with an instrumental was an odd choice. I've also looked at the live tracks and done a bit of editing to 'I'm A Man', but I felt that 'That's How Strong My Love is' was too much of a soul song to fit with the psychedelia of the rest of the tracks so that's now gone. Finally I've updated the cover, as I never really liked the old one. If you already have this then it's up to you if you grab this update, as you already have all the music, but I just feel that with this running order it now sounds better as an actual album. One last thing that I've done is to tag all of these albums as '60's psyche' so that you can see them all together and check if you've missed any earlier ones.
