It could well be included among the Rolling Stones original albums as well since only two tracks were previously released on LP in the States - the singles "Ruby Tuesday" and "Let's Spend the Night Together", which were both on "Between the Buttons" . Conversely, these two tracks were not on any European album, and bearing in mind that three tracks were entirely new and that "Have You Seen Your Mother" was not found on any album either, "Flowers" was definitely also interesting for European fans . The album might seem a bit messy - the song-order probably could have been better but it does contain a lot of pearls. "Ruby Tuesday" are supposedly one of the most beautiful the group has ever recorded, and both "Backstreet Girl" and "Lady Jane" are very delicate ballads. "Out of Time" could have been a hit for the Rolling Stones, but it was instead for Chris Farlow. "Mother's Little Helper" has both the twinkle in his eye and a good dose of social realism - while it is also a nice melody. As with the three "new" songs the group's version of "My Girl" is definitely my favorite version of this number. "Ride On Baby" has very fine melodic verses, the chorus, unfortunately does not quite live up to this, but after all, a good number. "Sitting on a Fence" is both textually and melodically a very good number, which also has a very nice guitar melody-line - strange that the mistake towards the end ws not corrected. This song was in a much weaker version a minor hit for the duo "Twice as Much". "Take it or Leave it" from "Aftermath was incidentally also a minor hit for The Searchers - so the strength of the song writing is obvious. The Stones' own two hits "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Have You Seen Your Mother" are not among the group's best, yet hits. The only slightly weak number is "Please Go Home""  [+]  Reply

The group had been frustrated by not being allowed to play on the first album, and they had expected that the second album would be different with the members playing a bigger role in the recordings. This was not to be; the album was released without the band's knowledge, and their frustration grew. The group hated the album. None the less; it's just as good an album as their first. The concept was more or less the same again. Fine pop-tunes written by some of the most prolific songwriters of the time. Neil Diamond wrote their big international hit "I'm a Believer" and the fine "Look Out Here Comes Tomorrow". Goffin/King wrote the fine "Sometime in the Morning" and the great bonus-track "I Don't Think You Know Me". Producers and songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart wrote "She" and the now classic "I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone". Neil Sedaka's "When Love Comes Knocking" is another highlight on the album. Once again the Monkees' own fine songwriter Mike Nesmith was allowed to produce his own songs "Mary Mary" and "The Kind of Girl I Could Love". A few misses is there too. "The Day We Fall in Love" and "Auntie Grizelda" are tracks that may have had some justification in 1967; today they are close to impossible to listen to. Skip those tracks and enjoy the rest of the album. Good bonus-tracks!! "  [+]  Reply

It sounds the least adventurous and the least flashy with its wordplay. There are no epic lyrical intensities of Leonard Cohen. Nor is there the brilliant rhythm section heroics or Biblical parables and mysteries of John Wesley Harding. Nor is there the fearless experimentation and vocal flights of Goodbye and Hello. Nor is there the quiet political tensions of Jerry Moore, or the classical aspects and chamber folk experimentations or 7-9 minute poems of Pleasures of the Harbor or the psychedelic experimentation and child-like flights of fancy of Donovan, or the Proto-Buckley dreamy production and velvety pipes of Fred Neil. And yet this album may just be the most succintly well-rounded and best written and most affecting of all these albums in many ways. Its a perfectly distilled 23 minute set of songs with absolutely no wasted anything. The vocals ache and the words ring completely true, and the band adds non-showy yet brilliant touches with a gorgeous horn here and a killer drum fill there, the guitars shimmer and cut, etc. The whole Tim Hardin 2 album floats through, completely serene, completely immaculate, untainted by silliness or extravagance. Its just about as perfect an album as was released in the 1960s. Grade: 9.6/10"  [+]  Reply

It was also the album that introduced Tonys Hicks' banjo which is very prominent on the big single hit "Stop Stop Stop". "Butterfly" is often regarded the strongest album by the Hollies. Released in 1967 it was to be last to feature high-pitch vocalist Graham Nash, who left in late 1968 to join David Crosby and Steve Stills. Sadly the Hollies were never quite the same after his departure - they did record some fine album later, but some of the magic somehow had gone. With the "For Certain Because" (1966) the Holles had begun to write all their material for their albums, and the this continued on the following two albums "Evolution" and "Butterfly". All 3 album contains some of the finest songwriting the Hollies ever did. Their playing and singing is impeccable like on most of their recordings - some might say that their lyrics at times tend to be a little too naive or silly. "Butterfly" is their most adventurous album and the closest the Hollies ever came to psychedelia. Apart from "Dear Eloise" which was released as a single in some countries it is very much an "album" - not just a collection of songs built up around 3 or 4 hit singles. It seems the Nash was the dominating force at this point, taking the lead vocal on more songs than usual lead-singer Clarke. Nash abilities as lead-singer are obvíous here, but it's usually a pleasure to listen to all singer, not least when they change lead-vocals or join in on harmonies. It's hard to bring forward particular tracks, because all are great. Tony Hicks cute "Pegasus" was always a favourite, but the songs like "Try it", "Would You Believe" and "Dear Eloise" with Allan Clarke up-front are all classic Hollies. Nash's laid back-songs like "Wish You a Wish" are "Postcard" are close to the sound of Simon & Garfunkel. On the instrumental side, there is a lot experimenting with various instruments like citar, different keyboards and several tracks feature string-arrangements. The Hollies actually recorded at least an album's worth of material before Nash finally left. With strong material like "Wings", "Open Up Your Eyes" , "Tomorrow When it Comes", "Man With No Expression", "Do the Best You" and the two fine singles "Listen to Me" and Jennifer Eccles" another fine Hollies album (with Nash) could have been made; insted they gave us the deeply disappointing "Hollies Sing Dylan" "Butterfly" is probably their finest moment. Here we have as bonus-tracks most of these potential final-album songs. The Nash version of "Blowing in the Wind" was another possible inclusion. A song called "Ashes to Ashes" is also said to have been recorded. https://www.angelfire.com/nv/Badfinger/BANDhollies.html"  [+]  Reply
