Editorial Review:Japanese reissue features 6 tracks packaged in a miniature LP sleeve. Atlantic. 2006.
Iron Butterfly's 1968 album veritably defined the burgeoning genre of hard-rock, primarily by way of its utterly over-the-top title cut. Reportedly composed by keyboardist/lead singer Doug Ingle in such a stoned-out, numb-tongued condition that he couldn't properly pronounce its intended title--"In the Garden of Eden"--the track seemed almost a parody of every excessive inclination of psychedelia. Melodramatic vocals, repetitive riffing, aimless solos--you name it, this 17-minute behemoth had it. Aided by FM DJs who loved to program it in its entirety so they could take "legitimate" breaks, it became an unavoidable hit--and an anthem of its era. --Billy Altman

A Classic from way back.
Bought it for the original version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.
I was 11 yrs old and my older sister brought the LP home. Parents went berserk but it converted me from Country to Rock!

not exactly as I remembered...don't care for most of the songs on this CD but it was definitely worth it to get the full (18-20 minutes?) version of "Inna Gadda Da Vida" baby! The others I can fast forward!

Sound is great, the two variations on title song are at the end where they belong. Neither is as good as the studio version.
Entire CD is worth a listen.
Buy it!
Keep it!
