SKU 05-SUNBEAM 55002
"Deluxe Sunbeam Masters edition, presented in a mini-LP gatefold sleeve, limited to 1,000 individually-numbered copies. An acknowledged landmark of progressive acid rock, this 1968 classic combines top-notch songwriting with vicious guitar, swathes of mellotron and dense arrangements, to unique and unsettling effect. Late-period UK psychedelia with weird strings, flute melodies, and other synthie orchestral moments. This official reissue includes comprehensive liner notes, rare photographs and two bonus tracks, making it a must-have for lovers of true British psychedelia."

Nice to see this early English proto-progressive/psychedelic classic reissued. With the original 'second hand' cover, that made everyone paying hundreds of dollars for an original upset because, "You said it was mint condition, but the cover is all beat up..."

"This still holds its ground after 38 years. Its unusual mix of poetic psych with heavy episodes and progressive structures is inventive... 'The World Will End Yesterday' is an acid-drenched classic." --The Tapestry Of Delights

"A harrowing world away from the predominantly beatific nature of much English psychedelia... an album that is certainly worth persevering with." --Record Collector

"This is often considered a few years ahead of its time... one of those odd records that mix psychedelic and garage-style music with progressive touches, and lots of long instrumental sections with guitar solos." --All Music Guide
