IRON BUTTERFLY/BALL 228011 (-69) UK


 Their third album and different from the two surrounding ones as it lacks a long epic track. While "Metamorphosis" had "Butterfly Bleu" and "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" had that -  https://monolover.blogspot.com/search?q=%28G%C3%84PPY*%29  - this has a couple of more or less regular length songs. I do value the epics, but here are other qualities.  Well written songs with lots of top guitars, piquant organ and emotional vocals, making it hard not to be touched. Favorite tracks - "In The Time Of Our Lives" combining disturbingly hard with beautifully melodic, "Filled With Fear" odd psych carried by great guitars and the furious "Real Fright". Even if the remaining songs, to my taste, not reach up all the way to those three they all matter and there's absolutely no need to jump tracks. Whole album below so You can judge for yourself. The audio on this UK is tophole - loud and clear - making it very good listening, so I'm enjoying it all to the fullest as I'm writing this. Very tasty indeed. Issued and reissued all over the world on vinyl, CD and other formats. Premiere US on ATCO (SD 33-280). Japan 2006 CD in paper sleeve with obi. First UK had label as shown here in a glossy fold/out cover.  (GÄPPY*)
