Caravan

Released in October 1968 this was the debut album by Caravan who, post-psychedelia, became a popular prog-rock band in the 1970s and 80s (and are still around these days). A good album this is, marred by the fact it has the album tracks in mono and then stereo. I know this appeases purists though is a bit annoying if you want to just listen to the music in the best way possible.

This is good psychedelic rock-pop but you could see hints of their future direction. Its very organy, proto-proggy and unmistakably British.
