Rating: LA RECENSIONE
If you love Sergent Pepper by the Beatles but want more songs in the same style and atmosphere to satisfy your craving for psychedelia, if you have already listened to Odessey and Oracle by the Zombies and liked it, if you are a fan of the Kinks, then this is the album that will satisfy you. In May 1967, Tomorrow debuted with the single "My White Bicycle", followed by another single, "Revolution", in September. At the beginning of 1968, their self-titled album was released. The album is a beautiful work of English psychedelic rock which, although a child of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper and other albums of the period, possesses remarkable creativity.
The album opens with "My White Bicycle", which will please genre lovers at first listen, followed closely by "Colonel Brown". To the notes of "Real Life Permanent Dream", you might find yourself dancing in the typical ’60s style, making wave-like motions with your arms. The beginning of "Shy Boy" seems like that of the Beatles' "Getting Better" but it quickly redeems itself through its charm and optimism. The album flows at very high levels and at the eighth track, we find a cover of the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever" done in a superb way. The album delivers the last three truly beautiful tracks and when the last song ends, giving way to silence, you will want to listen to the legendary "My White Bicycle" once more before putting it back in its case. If it is true that every art has its golden age, well... for popular music that might truly be the period between 1966 and 1968, and the ideal place to find its exquisite fruits could indeed be England.
The Tomorrow album does not pale at all next to absolute masterpieces like The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn or Sgt. Pepper, and listening to it closely makes one wonder why it hasn’t received the acknowledgment it deserves. If you love Sergent Pepper by the Beatles but want more songs in the same style and atmosphere to satisfy your craving for psychedelia, if you have already listened to Odessey and Oracle by the Zombies and liked it, if you like the Kinks; then this is the album that will satiate you for a while.

01 My White Bicycle (03:17)
My white bicycle, my white bicycle
Riding all around the street
Four o'clock and they're all asleep
I'm not tired and it's so late
Moving fast everything looks great.
My white bicycle, my white bicycle
See that man, he's all alone
Looks so happy but he's far from home
Ring my bell, smile at him
Better kick over his garbage bin
My white bicycle, my white bicycle
The rain comes down but I don't care
The wind is blowing in my hair
Seagulls flying in the air
My white bicycle
Policeman shouts but I don't see him
They're one thing I don't believe in
Find some judge, but it's not leavin'
Lift both hands, his head in disgrace
Shines no light upon my face
Through the darkness, we still speed
My white bicycle and me
My white bicycle, my white bicycle
Tomorrow
