Description

Odessey and Oracle (Orchid Coloured Vinyl)Odessey and Oracle was one of the flukiest (and best) albums of the 1960s, and one of the most enduring long players to come out of the entire British psychedelic boom, mixing trippy melodies, ornate choruses, and lush Mellotron sounds with a solid hard rock base. But it was overlooked completely in England and barely got out in America (with a big push by Al Kooper, who was then a Columbia Records producer); and it was neglected in the U. S. until

Odessey and Oracle was one of the flukiest (and best) albums of the 1960s, and one of the most enduring long players to come out of the entire British psychedelic boom, mixing trippy melodies, ornate choruses, and lush Mellotron sounds with a solid hard rock base.

But it was overlooked completely in England and barely got out in America (with a big push by Al Kooper, who was then a Columbia Records producer); and it was neglected in the U.S. until the single "Time of the Season," culled from the album, topped the charts nearly two years after it was recorded, by which time the group was long disbanded.

Ironically, at the time of its recording in the summer of 1967, permanency was not much on the minds of the bandmembers. Odessey and Oracle was intended as a final statement, a bold last hurrah, having worked hard for three years only to see the quality of their gigs decline as the hits stopped coming. The results are consistently pleasing, surprising, and challenging: "Hung Up on a Dream" and "Changes" are some of the most powerful psychedelic pop/rock ever heard out of England, with a solid rhythm section, a hot Mellotron sound, and chiming, hard guitar, as well as highly melodic piano. "Changes" also benefits from radiant singing. "This Will Be Our Year" makes use of trumpets (one of the very few instances of real overdubbing) in a manner reminiscent of "Penny Lane"; and then there's "Time of the Season," the most well-known song in their output and a white soul classic.

Not all of the album is that inspired, but it's all consistently interesting and very good listening, and superior to most other psychedelic albums this side of the Beatles' best and Pink Floyd's early work. Indeed, the only complaint one might have about the original LP is its relatively short running time, barely over 30 minutes, but even that's refreshing in an era where most musicians took their time making their point.

Thayers toner review
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This Thayers Blemish Clearing toner is fantastic. It does not have an offensive smell, nor is it abrasive to the skin. Consistent use will see your skin's condition improve.

Pleasant, light aroma, gently affects the skin.
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It has a pleasant, light scent and feels gentle on the skin, helping to keep it fresh and clear, but I recommend following up with a moisturizer to prevent any dryness.

Clear Skin Staple—Gentle Yet Effective and Pairs Perfectly with My Favorite Facial Pads
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This toner is my daily go-to for keeping my face in check. It’s gentle on my skin but packs a punch when it comes to keeping my sensitive skin clear and fresh. I use it every morning and night, and my skin has never looked more balanced. It doesn’t sting or dry me out, and it layers beautifully with my other products. Total game changer. I use Thayers Blemish Clearing Toner with the ForPro XL Facial Pads and the combo is perfection. The toner glides on smoothly, and the pads help distribute it evenly without soaking up too much product. My skin feels clean, refreshed, and noticeably clearer. If you’re looking for a refreshing, non-harsh toner to add to your routine that’s simple and effective, this duo is it!

Gentle, yet very effective
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've used multiple exfoliating toners in the past but none were as effective as this one. I have been using it for 3 days now along with the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming cleanser and it's cleared the whiteheads on my chin quite a bit and made my face feel and look smooth. Will continue to repurchase.

Finally Something That Works For Me
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Imma be honest - I haven’t had great skin for over 30 years. I feel like like there’s always :something: that makes me resort to only being comfortable wearing make-up any day I have to see people / leave the house. But, I started using Thayers in October 2025 (I created my own “Thayers system”: salicylic toner, salicylic pads, and - at times - the stuff in the little dropper bottle) and I can honestly say that :finally: something is working for my skin! I have tried everything! But Thayers is it for me these days. Thank you!!
