Evolution was also the name of The Hollies' debut album for their new U.S. label, Epic Records. But, like many American issues of British albums, this album was remixed using heavy echo and reverb. In addition, three songs were left off the album (with only "Carrie Anne" added), thus making the U.S. version somewhat less desirable than its British counterpart.
The cover shown is the U.S./Canadian cover, which used the same Karl Ferris photograph but differed from the U.K. cover by dispensing with The Fool's overall cover design. Instead, the U.S. Canadian cover put The Hollies' name on the cover in more conventional psychedelic-influenced lettering, placed the album title on the cover in a normal font, and then overlaid a paisley-patterned image to be more consistent with U.S. visions of psychedelia.
