There's a pretty detailed description of this album found above so I'll just underscore "After Tea" is the UK release of the original Dutch "National Disaster" album. Released in early 1968 by the British Ace of Clubs label, the UK version featured different artwork and included both sides of the band's second Dutch single 'After Tea' and 'Lemon Coloured Honey Tree'. In case anyone cared, here are brief blurbs on those two 'bonus' tracks:

- 'After Tea' offered up another acid-tinged slice of flower-power/psychedelia. At least to my ears it was actually better than similar sounding tracks on the LP ('Not Just a Flower In Your Hair', ' In the Land of the Bubble Gum Tree).   rating: *** stars
- In spite of the title, kicked along by van Eijck's keyboards and Martin Hage's overlooked drumming 'Lemon Coloured Honey Tree' was a great slice of blue-eyed soul. Ray Fenwick also used the song to showcase some tasty fuzz guitar. The performance would have gotten an even higher rating were it not for the weird scat segment that showed up at the end of the song.   rating: **** stars
