For an album released in 1968, this sure has plenty of moments that will sound almost totally fresh to your ears. It's a shame this wonderful, sunny pop album was overlooked.
Ah yes, great catch. I came across it about five years ago and was amazed at how good it is. It has all of what's good about the Beatles, Beach Boys, Byrds but doesn't sound in the least bit derivative. It sounds of a piece with that brilliant pop scene.
