The *best* copy ever found, here....((and that's saying something))

The colorful cover showed the pair of musicians dressed in Indian-like garb, and they were seated in front of a painted psychedelic background that featured characters from the Lewis Carroll poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter." One may wonder IF The Rolling Stones used the cover of "Of Cabbages and Kings" as a model for the soon to be released "Their Satanic Majesties Request."

The opening of "Of Cabbages and Kings" was obviously influenced by The Beatles "SGT Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band," right down to the squeaks and groans of a tuning orchestra. Jeremy Clyde is then heard self-importantly reciting a line from Carroll's famous poem: "The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things, of shoes and ships and ceiling wax, of cabbages and kings..." (interestingly, Chad and Jeremy were talking about walruses at least three months before John Lennon sang that he is one). There is then heard the grunts of someone laboriously hammering and chiseling stone. The sound effects finally lead into the opening strains of "Rest In Peace," with lyrics like "my name it is Mathews, and I've got it made, a memorial maker, it's a profitable trade...".
Side one flows with heady tuneful melodics, including "Busman's Holiday" and "Can I See You." The songs feature the sounds of sitars and tablas, and there is also a lot of Sergeant Pepper-like special effects added to the tracks, like babies crying and crowd noises. Flip the LP over, and listen to "The Progress Suite,"  ~ the long segemented track is filled with ambitious psychedelic & satirical zones, very different from the previous mellow Chad and Jeremy offerings ...all in all, the album at the time, was rated very highly by the music critics but sold poorly. Even so it passed over collectors heads of the day, the album is eccentric trippy psychedelia firmly entrenched in the "Sgt. Pepper" mold ...and that is the best way to describe the album.
