### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RARE FLIGHT
*by T***E on March 12, 2011*

"THE BEST OF IRON BUTTERFLY EVOLUTION" IS A FIT NAME FOR THIS GROUP.IT HAS GONE THROUGH MANY PERSONEL CHANGES SINCE IT,S BEGINING WITH THE DEFECTION OF "DANNY WEIS"[GUITAR],"JERRY PENROD"[BASS] AND "DARRYL DELOACH" VOCALS.FOR REASONS KNOWN TO THEM.THE ALBUM "HEAVY" HAD TO BE SHELVED UNTIL NEW RECRUITS COULD BE FOUND.AUDITIONS WERE HELD,AND NEW MEMBERS "LEE DORMAN"[BASS] AND "ERIC BRANN"[GUITAR,VOCALS] WERE ADDED TO THE LINE-UP.ERIC BRANN WOULD END UP PURCHASING DANNY WEIS,S GUITAR,A" MOSRITE",TO GET THAT RIGHT SOUND."IRON BUTTERFLY THEME",POSSESSION" AND "UNCONSCIOUS POWER" WOULD COME FROM THE "HEAVY" ALBUM.WORK ON THERE MASTERPIECE "IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA" STARTED AFTER "HEAVY" WAS RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC."FLOWERS AND BEADS","TERMINATION" AND "IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA"[IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN] THIS SONG WOULD HIT POSITION #30 FOR SEVEN WEEKS ON THE BILLBOARD CHARTS ON SEPTEMBER 28,1968.THE THIRD RECORD "BALL" WOULD BRING "SOUL EXPERIENCE",AND "BELDA BEAST".WELL IT COULDN,T LAST LONG,BUT HERE COMES ANOTHER LINE-UP CHANGE,"MIKE PINERA" WHO JUST LEFT "BLUES IMAGE" ON GUITAR,VOCALS,AND LARRY"EL RHINO" REINHARDT,[GUITAR]."STONE BELIVER","EASY RIDER" NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FILM BY "PETER FONDA"AND "DENNIS HOPPER" AND "SLOWER THAN GUNS FINISHES THIS ALBUM.THE GROUP WOULD BREAK-UP AFTER AN EUROPEAN TOUR,"DOUG INGLE"[KEYBOARDS,VOCALS]LEADER WOULD BE THE FIRST TO LEAVE.AND BY THE WAY,"RON BUSHY'[DRUMS] DID THE PHOTOS AND ART FOR THE SLEEVE.IRON BUTTERFLY WOULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST GROUPS ALONG WITH "BLUE CHEER","LEAF HOUND" AND "HAWKWIND" TO BRING THE TERM "HEAVY MUSIC" TO THE FORE.I KNOW THEIR ARE OTHER OPINIONS ON THE SUBJECT,"JIMI HENDRIX","LED ZEPPELIN","BLACK SABBATH" AND "STEPPENWOLF".AND I LOVE THEM ALL! GET THE VINYL RECORD IT,S VERY GOOD.P.S THERE IS A CD CALLED LIGHT AND HEAVY ON RHINO RECORDS,IT HAS MORE SONGS.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first Iron Butterfly album
*by P***E on May 6, 2012*

After soaking in In A Gadda Da Vida for several months during my eighth grade year; requesting it to be played on WHFC Gaithersburg, Maryland in the late hours of the evening, I bought this album at Dart Drug in Gaithersburg and year or so later. This was it! I just about wore out the album, and I'm glad to see it's on CD and remastered. It's a great sampling of one of the HEAVY rock groups. Highly recommended for the novice!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ One thing's missing from this CD!
*by C***N on March 25, 2013*

The thing that's missing is the full version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (IAGDV for short). There's easily enough space available on a CD to add in the full version of IAGDV. For those who want the full version of IAGDV, the current price here on amazon.com is $4.99. There's also "Light and Heavy" on amazon.com, but it seems to be full of filler to get up to 21 tracks and that doesn't leave enough space for the IAGDV full version. What we really need is a third "Best of Iron Butterfly" CD that combines the songs on this CD with the full version of IAGDV. I'm not sure I would buy it because I already have the "Deluxe Edition" of IAGDV (bought on amazon.com as a used disc) which includes three versions of IAGDV (the classic long version, the short version that's on this CD, and the version from the "Live" album). However, listening to three versions of IAGDV verges upon IAGDV overload, if that's possible!
