1968 Original LP, No Scratches, Cover in Good-Very Good Condition, Iron Butterfly: Doug Ingle (vocals, organ, keyboards); Erik Brann (guitar); Lee Dorman (bass); Ron Bushy (drums). Recorded at Gold Star Studios, Hollywood, California and Ultra-Sonic Studios, Hempstead, New York. For many years this late 60s heavyish extravaganza was the biggest-selling record in Atlantic's history. The reason was the title track, a memorable but ponderous 17-minute slice of self-indulgence. It is all here: drum solo (takka takka, ding ding, ba boom boom), guitar solo sounds like it's played with a tenon saw, and finally an overlong church organ solo, that needed the beef of a Hammond instead of a Vox Farfisa sound. The vocals are great, but in a strange sort of way so is the whole album. Song List 1. Most Anything You Want 2. Flowers And Beads 3. My Mirage 4. Termination 5. Are You Happy 6.
