It is the end of the Beat era right before full blown Pysch.
It is beginning of feedback and fuzzboxes and studio trickery.
Phasing and compression too: I guess it's a cross between the mod/r'n'b sound and Joe Meek-type studio experimentation. Too tough for psychedelia, too flash for r'n'b. 1966-7. The Wimple Winch. :-)
