Recorded mostly in 1968 as a concept album about life, the album was rejected by Warners, which led to the band 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 Four Seasons’“The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette” (1969) in its adventurous vocal harmonies and arrangements.
Originally released in 1971 on their own B.T. Puppy label, legend has it 100 copies of The Tokens’“Intercourse” were pressed. The handful of original copies that have surfaced have fetched four-figure sums.
Ace have licensed the album directly from B.T. Puppy and have used 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.
