Beskrivelse	Very Rare Dutch Psychedelic Folk-Rock Album. Orig. Dutch press. A top copy. Vinyl looks and sounds Excellent/Near Mint. The halflaminated flipbacksleeve is in beautiful Excellent condition. Marcel Koopman wrote about the album in Dag Erik Asbjørnsen`s "Scented Gardens of The Mind" (A Comprehensive Guide to the Golden Era of Progressive Rock (1968-1980): In 1967 he issued a third LP, Picknick, one of the best albums ever to emerge from Holland. Readers of the Dutch collectors magazine still rank this among the 20 worldwide best ever albums of 1967 (a year with ample competition) thirty years later. It is a swirling collection of highly personal songs evoking images of a world apart. Although usually playful and whimsical, the song "Megaton" revealed a darker edge, depicting the end of the world as we know it. "Prikkebeen", another Top 10 hit when issued as a single, featured a duet with the female singer Elly Nieman (a well-known character from the Dutch hippie scene). The orchestrations were by now unsurpassable in their richness and resourcefulness, the melodies soar and the lyrics are among to the best ever written in Dutch. On the other hand it is a rock album with strong playing, much more so than on the previous LP's. The archetypical psychedelic cover was designed by Seemon & Marijke (also known from the group The Fool and for designing the front sleeve of the Incredible String Band's 5000 Spirits and the Beatles' Apple Shop logo).
