Blaze is the sixth album released by MGM Records in the US and Canada by the band Herman's Hermits (picture shows the rear of the record sleeve, as the front looks completely different, featuring no text). The album was released in October 1967. Blaze was not released in the UK during the time. EMI/Columbia, the group's UK label, did press the LP, but for export sales only.
