• Track Listing

Multiple generations of bands who’ve taken listeners on epic heavy-metal journeys can look back to "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" as the godfather of it all. As you hear these five Iron Butterfly LPs, though, you’ll discover that these pioneers of trippy, hypnotic rock didn’t always need 17 minutes to achieve the desired effect; many of the most mesmerizing tracks here top out at three minutes. "Heavy," "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," "Ball," "Live" and "Metamorphosis" charted between ’68 and ’70; they include the hits "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," "Soul Experience," "In the Time of Our Lives" and "Easy Rider" plus live versions of "Filled with Fear," "Are You Happy," the first three aforementioned hits and more!
