| Good Late 60s UK Psych |

| Tomorrow released only one self titled album in 1968. Hilights of album are My White Bicycle with backwards tapes and good guitar. Revolution and Real Life Permanent Dream are good psychedelia with some trippy lyrics. Tomorrow never overcame to excess in their songs. Songs were tightly crafted psych pop.

| Though fairly obscure, Tomorrow was highly influencial on the burgeoning psychedelic scene. While the album contained a couple of silly tracks (Auntie Maries Dress Shop, Three Jolly Little Dwarves), the majority of Tomorrow was a collection of great psych moments such as My White Bicycle (later a hit for Nazareth), Revolution and Now Your Time Has Come. It gave no indication of the style of music Howe was to produce with Yes (or even Asia!) but that is no bad thing; Tomorrow is a very worthy record to own in your music collection and was a also pivotal in the development of psychedelica.7/10

| I got this for my birthday a few weeks ago, and wow, what a great record! Its always cool to find something this good that you havent heard before. Not just My White Bicycle which is still one of the classic psych pop tunes of all time, but the whole record. And I was amazed that anyone could do such a fantastic and more than credible version of Strawberry Fields Forever.

| Good Psych Album, Great Singles |
|
|
|
| This album is very well done and worth owning for any fans of 60s Psych out there. The instrumentation is often very psych tinged, and the singer does a great job throughout the record. Its definetly in the vein of the Blossom Toes or early/mid Pink Floyd stuff.The singles on the record, (especially My White Bicycle and the stuff by the Aquarian Age), are very memorable and make this record worth purchasing alone.

| Tomorrow - self-titled (EMI) import CD |
|
|
|
| Its been noted that this sole 1968 record by the short-lived UK psych band was one of the best lps of that era as well as its always been highly under-rated.I would tend to agree with that opinion.This reissue of the Tomorrow record is really quite nice,with the lps eleven tracks along with twelve bonus tunes tagged on for good measure.A total of 23 songs.Wow!A truly great psychedelic release to own.The discs gems are easy to spot,like My White Bicycle(the same tune Nazareth opens some of their gigs with),the timeless Revolution,Three Jolly Little Dwarfs and Hallucinations.Most of you probably,of course know about Tomorrows line-up.That it included guitarist Steve Howe(before he joined Yes),heart-throb Keith West on vocals and drummer Twink before he joined up with the Pink Fairies.Sort of a historic record,one COULD say.The extra tunes are about as good as the actual lp.Sort of dug Why and the mono version of the previously mentioned Revolution as well as the three cuts by The Aquarian Age,a side project by Twink and the bands bassist,Junior.Thought the spoken word track,skit,whatever... Good Wizard Meets Naughty Wizard was a gas.To end things,there are four decent Keith West solo tracks.Comes with a beautifully-designed 12-page booklet with PLENTY of cool photos,artwork and info.A must have.
