Record of the Day – O13: Iron Butterfly

Im still in that 60s groove…

Somehow Moby Grape and Steppenwolf always make me dig out In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Yeah, I know the new kids don’t care for this, but it’s my party and I’ll play 60s music if I want to.

When I bought my original copy of this, I mostly just listened to the title track, sometimes really loud just to annoy my parents. Ha. But over the years, the rest of the album (and for that matter the rest of the IB catalog) has grown on me. I truly like this record. So you can guess who was pretty happy when this came out on MoFi as a vinyl remaster. They did produce it as a Gold CD years ago, and it is also available on SACD from MoFi.

Mastered by Krieg Wunderlich, this rocks much better than the original, albeit slightly worn original ATCO pressing in my collection. If you need to make this journey and can grab a MoFi copy, you will not regret it!
