I have the Rhino disc and it is quite good. Still amazes me how they were able to produce such a deep layered sound but were never able to grab that sound again. Now where is that weed I stashed 50+ years ago?...
Heavy by Iron Butterfly is my favorite recording by them,it was either my 2nd or 3rd album I bought. They just released it in its original mono mix on vinyl and it kills.
17:05 long .. my first album i ever bought in the summer of 1972.The album is from 1968.The Rhino cd is the digital to own.The original lp is THE way to here it.
An Iron Butterfly thread, great. For my money, their best album is Metamorphosis. By the time of that album, they added two guitarists, Mike Pinera and Rhino. Pinera was fresh from his stint with Blues Image and he and Rhino were at their creative peak. The album still rocks and I look forward to it every time I put it on (and I haven't done any drugs in 35 years!). Their subsequent live album, recorded in Europe (?) has good live versions of some of the songs from Metamorphosis as well.
