I always thought ET was slightly off his feed though still sounding great overall when he cut these songs for this album and I think I can prove it,, the songs were recorded in early 1966 and on January 6th 1966 ET had a horrific night where he thought he was gonna die from a coughing fit and he couldn't catch his breath,,, he quit smoking right then and there at 2:06am January 6th 1966....
So things were rough for ET in early 66'.
