5 out of 5 stars I love this album.......2007-01-25

I love this album, and bought it in the original US version, then in the UK version, than again in the Sundazed CD. Graham Nash's last album with the group before the reunion album, "What Goes Around," had so many good songs. From the beautiful atmospheric "Butterfly" by Graham Nash, to a rare Tony Hicks vocal, on "Pegasus" to the incredibly powerful vocals on "Charlie and Fred" this album is a gem. The singles from this album, "Dear Eloise" and "King Midas" are among the best from a group that produced so many great tracks. The US cover was one of the best, and showed the growing distance between Alan and Graham, just before Graham left for CSN.

5 out of 5 stars Acid tested Hollies.......2005-09-06

Hollies
Butterfly CD

I'm on my second copy of their finest album, as far down the paisley path as Nash could lead his conservative bandmates. His sitar seminars and elevated observations on people with small minds who haven't gotten high yet might've been inside digs at the rest of the group. Tony Hicks' grudging entry the psychedelic sweepstages has him dolefully singing "I'm Pegasus the flying horse," promising to take you anywhere but asking you to be discreet about it. In the Hollies world, this qualifies as a Ringo song. After Nash bolted to fight the ego wars in CS&N, the Hollies' impeccable harmonies took on an annoying mosquito like sameness but any group interview thereafter makes a point of saying the Hollies enjoyed their biggest chart hits after Nash left. That's like saying Lennon had his biggest chart hits after Mark David Chapman shot him.

5 out of 5 stars Real gem of the psychedelic era.......2005-07-29

One of the best albums of the psychedelic era. A real diamond full of kaleidoscopic lights and fresh breezes of patchulie. A must for conoisseurs and lovers of the best kind of music. Expressionism full of warm colour tones. The triad Clarke-Hicks-Nash by definition.

5 out of 5 stars Obra cumbre de Los Hollies, Indispensable Album de los 60's.......2004-02-15

"Dear Eloise/King Midas in Reverse" fue originalmente editado en USA en 1.967 como la versión americana de "Butterfly"(UK 1.967), y como era habitual en la época, con algunas diferencias en una y otra orilla del Atlántico: en este caso cambiaron la selección de temas, el título del disco y la portada. Gracias a Sundazed, en este remaster encontramos la totalidad de temas editados en ambos continentes, apareciendo aquí como bonus tracks ("Pegasus", "Try It", "Elevated Observations", "Do The Best you Can") los temas de Butterfly que no aparecieron hace 37 años en los USA -por cierto, todos ellos imprescindibles-.
En total 15 temas que muestran a los Hollies en su esplendor, con su trío original de intérpretes/compositores (Nash, Hicks y Clark) exprimiendo lo mejor de sí mismos: grandes temas, primorosamente interpretados -armonías vocales marca de la casa-, arreglados y producidos, y como no podía ser de otra manera en 1.967, bañados con litros de pachuli y psicodelia...exhudando un perfume arrollador.
