Absolutely bonkers. Always been a big fan of The Pretty Things' amped up R&B, finding it more energising and exciting than the work of either The Stones or The Who (to name two) from the same time. This sees them transition from that proto-punk sound to something far more multi-dimensional, experimental and innovative. The ambition here is laudable, and this warrants close listening (I played it twice in succession). I don't really get the 'story' here (if there is one), but that doesn't seem to matter. This is what Sgt. Pepper could have sounded like if it hadn't been made by a teen pop boy band.
