Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 69.6/100, a mean average of 67.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.5.

This 1965 album was the fourth studioalbum from the Seekers and the first on which contemporary songs played played the major role on the tracklist. Guitarist in the group, Bruce Woodley, would for the nexts albums contribute some of the really great Seekers originals, and here he is the man behind the fine songs ”Two Summers” and ”Don’t Tell Me Mind”, both written in the typical Seekers folk-style.
Highlight on the album is producer and songwriter Tom Springfield’s title track, which was also a big hit for the group. Another big favourite is the version of Jo Stafford’s hits from the 1950’s ”Allentown Jail”.
There are two Bob Dylan cover versions, ”Don’t Think Twice” and ”The Times are a’Changin’” – both quite nice but not significant.
Like with their early albums there are traditionals like ”The Leaving og Liverpool” and more recent folk/country songs by writers like Woody Guthrie and Bob Gibson. So to sum it up, this album could be described as transitional between the early traditional Seekers and the more modern Seekers, focusing more on contemporary and commercial songs, and here I clearly would argue that in the latter category is their most successful.

I grew up in Australia with the Seekers being on constant replay on AM radio. I have returned to this album in my quest to uncover Dylan cover songs - and there are 2 on this album. Although not the best nor the most engaging/interesting cover of "The Times They Are-A Changin'", I have included this version in my 'top 100 Dylan covers' chart as it was this version of the song that invited a primary school age 'me' to pencil in 'Dylan' as an artist to check out when the time was right - & it didn't take long (about 5 years) before I penned 'Dylan' as an artist to follow ~~~~
Archaic, but decent. They kind of exploded out the top of a modest restrained career, and hardly got a breath for a decade or so. A little bit corny but with moments of taste too. The hit off this was "A World Of Our Own." I have shelf space for it because it is important to acknowledge where you came from in figuring out where to go next.
