The Hollies : Butterfly (1998 Version)

TRAVEL BY THE SILVER LINE

TO A PLACE 

THAT HAS NO TIME

WHY DON'T YOU TRY IT NOW ?

Butterfly

is the seventh 

studio album by

 the English rock and pop band

 The Hollies 

released on 

 November 1st 1967.

 It was the band's 

final album to feature 

Graham Nash

before his departure

from the group in 1968.

 The album consisted solely of songs 

written by the trio of

 Nash, Allan Clarke, and Tony Hicks, 

with Nash leading the sessions. 

It showcased the band's 

pop-oriented approach

 to psychedelia.

In the US and Canada,

Epic Records released an

 alternate version of the album 

as Dear Eloise / King Midas in Reverse

(also November 1967),

 featuring a

 different track selection/order

 and alternate artwork.

 The 1967 single

 "King Midas in Reverse" 

was not included on

 the UK version 

of the album, 

but was added to the 

North American version. 

A 1998 CD reissue

 brings together 

all the tracks

from both versions 

of the album.

UK Release

As with Evolution

(1967), 

none of the songs on the 

UK album 

were selected for single 

or EP release

 in the UK. 

The mono single 

and stereo CD versions of 

"Try It" 

differ greatly in terms of

 sound effects and vocals. 

Cash Box said of

 "Dear Eloise"

 that it has 

"pounding orchestrations and a

 tremendous vocal sound

 added to the

 exotic beginning-finish."
