Originally released in 1971 on their own B.T. Puppy label only, perhaps, a hundred copies were pressed and over the decades it has become a holy grail collectable with the handful of original copies that surface fetching a four figure sum.\u003cbr\u003e     Recorded mostly in 1968 as a concept album about life, the tracks were originally rejected by Warners which led to the band eventually putting it out themselves. Musically It sits in similar hallowed space to the Beach Boys’ “Smiley Smile” (1967), with dashes of the Millennium’s “Begin” (1968) and the 4 Seasons’ “The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette” (1969) in its adventurous vocal harmonies and arrangements.\u003cbr\u003e     Although the Tokens enjoyed massive hit singles in America – especially ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’ – they always felt sore about “Intercourse” not receiving the critical acclaim and sales that they though it should have received.\u003cbr\u003e     Ace have licensed the album directly from B.T. Puppy and the music is the correct, band-approved running order. Housed in a replica of the original “Intercourse” sleeve the album comes with an inner sleeve with liner notes by Bob Stanley. This lion no longer sleeps – buy a copy and bathe in the sound of a lost classic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e     Includes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eIt's Amazing to be Alive \u003cbr\u003eI'm a Droplet of Water \u003cbr\u003eBathroom Wall \u003cbr\u003eAnimal \u003cbr\u003eGreenfields \u003cbr\u003eWonderful Things \u003cbr\u003eCommercial \u003cbr\u003eIn and Out \u003cbr\u003eGray is Gray \u003cbr\u003eWaiting For Something \u003cbr\u003eI Could Be \u003cbr\u003e654321 Lou \u003cbr\u003eI Wanna Make Love To You \u003cbr\u003eStereo \u003cbr\u003eYou Loser You Fool \u003cbr\u003eIt's Amazing to Be Alive (reprise) \u003cbr\u003eSome People Sleep \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNEW SEALED \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eimport re-issue from the UK on 180g vinyl \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ace \/ Steve Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49064907702523,"sku":null,"price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4553\/files\/TokensIntercourseLPfront.png?v=1783829866","url":"https:\/\/orbitrecords.com\/products\/tokens-intercourse-import","provider":"Orbit Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
