Plus the album they did as "Electric Banana" around the Emotions / S.F.
Sorrow! FWIW I quite like the horns and strings on Emotions. The
remaster has with and without versions and I prefer the "with", more
often than not.

All the above are essential 60's LP's. For a moment there (late 64
perhaps), they were the greatest band in the UK I reckon, just before
The Who hit their stride.
