The third and most controversial albumby The Seeds, 1967's idiosyncratic 'Future'.
Encouraged by their manager, "Lord Tim" Hudson, the album a psychedelic missive to the world; an outrageous gesture with no expense spared: copious string and horn overdubs on a selection of material that espoused the singer's new-found "flower power" philosophy, Nevertheless, 'Future' contains many fan favourites such as "Painted Doll," "Flower Lady," "Two Fingers" and "A Thousand Shadows".
This deluxe 2CD edition features the remastered stereo album, along with a selection of period mono mixes, including several that are previously unissued, A second disc, 'Contact High: The Future Sessions', is a fascinating rundown of the album's creation, utilising
outtakes, alternate mixes and previously unheard versions.
