    This is bitchen good psychdelica that is mastered and recorded excellently and sounds so good on this Columbia pressing - check out the horn section a the end of "The Butterfly And I" - and of course it's got "Venus" - super slinky - pure fun!

      indeed, you're right; it's a compilation.
      the french version is even more obvious.
