L.A. prophetically responded in 1968:

 

Man, if the recording dates on Wikipedia are correct, Shank was putting down these tracks before Magical Mystery Tour had even hit the shops in late 1967. I assume he had early access to it, given that World Pacific was part of Capitol? Makes Ramsey Lewis' Mother Nature's Son--Lewis' record of White Album songs that came out several weeks after the White Album itself in late 1968--seem like a slowpoke!

I'm more inclined to believe Discogs listing of 1968. World Pacific was then part of United Artists, but UA didn't become part of EMI/Capitol until about a decade or more later.

All things considered it's a pretty trippy album, and so is the Lewis (thank you Charles Stepney). Good times, albeit quite niche!
