After Something Else - which only reached No 32 in 1967, only compilation LP's made the charts. I find this absolutely staggering, just what were the British public buying from 1967 onwards. Classics like this, Arthur, Muswell Hillbillies, Lola & Preservation Act's one & two seem to have been completely ignored at the time. I wonder how many copies these albums actually sold. I can't think of another band as huge as this that stopped making the charts at the height of their career. Does anyone have an explanation for this ?</span>"<br /> - Steppenwolf666<br /> ________________________________________________________<br /> <br /> <span class="forum-bbcode-font-size-9" style="line-height: normal"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">About album of the day:</span></span> The BestEverAlbums.com album of the day is the album appearing most prominently in member charts in the previous 24 hours.
