The bulk of album work took place on March 3, 8 and 17. "The Games We Play" as well as the Graham Gouldman-penned "Schoolgirl" were also begun during this session. The next session on 22 February was dedicated to two more songs meant specifically for release in Italy, "We're Alive" and "Kill Me Quick". Two songs sung in Italian, "Non Prego Per Me" and "Devi Avere Fiducia in Me" (the former composed by Lucio Battisti and Mogol), were also recorded on that day specifically for release as a single in Italy. That song was completed during the next session on 13 January along with the album track, "Lullaby to Tim". Work began on, but was not completed for, the eventual single "On a Carousel". The first session occurred on 11 January where "When Your Lights Turned On", "Have You Ever Loved Somebody" and the B-side "All the World is Love" were completed. It was first released by the Everly Brothers on their Two Yanks in England album.Įvolution and its respective singles were recorded at EMI's Abbey Road Studios in just six days spread over three months in early 1967, at the same time the Beatles were recording Sgt. The song "Have You Ever Loved Somebody?" was released earlier (in September 1966) both by the Searchers and Paul and Barry Ryan as single a-sides. In 1978, Parlophone reissued the stereo version of Evolution, along with Butterfly and Confessions of the Mind. I worked with the Fool (lead by Simon Posthuma) on this, and they did the lettering, the back cover design and the group's costumes. This combination created the image of the Hollies 'pushing through to a new wave of music style and consciousness'. Over this I superimposed a shot of William Morris Art Nouveau wallpaper with an illustration and 'Love' lettering drawn by my girl friend Anke. So I listened to the music that they were recording at Abbey Road Studios, and got an image of them pushing through a membrane into 'the Psychedelic world', and so in summer of 1966 I took a studio shot of them pushing out their hands and the lead singer pointing through clear plastic. they wanted to break from their 'Pop Beat' sound into something more psychedelic. įerris commented on the making of the album cover during a special signing of cover prints in 1997: The album cover artwork was created by the Fool, with the psychedelic cover photo by Karl Ferris, who is credited with creating the first truly psychedelic photograph for an album cover. Drummer Bobby Elliott only played on three songs on the album due to appendicitis and, as a result, he was substituted for by Dougie Wright, Clem Cattini and Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
None of the songs on the album were selected for single or EP release in the UK, although " Carrie Anne" from the American release was issued as a single in the US. Like its predecessor, For Certain Because, this album comprises only songs written by group members Allan Clarke, Graham Nash, and Tony Hicks.
