Track 4 - Beechwood Park.

Chords and drums have strong hint of Procol Harum.

I'm not sure all this benefits from not sounding enough like the Beatles/Beach Boys. sad yes

This is probably the best track, so far.

I note that, from being an inveterate user of a worldwide kwiz site, this album was a bigger hit in the USA than it was here.

Track 6 - Hung Up on a Dream.

It's true that it avoids sounding utterly like other bands and artists of the time, but that doesn't make it any good.
