LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Recorded live at the Galaxy club in Sunset Boulevard in July 1967, this captures Iron Butterfly's early five-piece, two-guitar line-up on fiery form. Having just recorded their debut album, 'Heavy', they tear through several tracks from it, as well as two otherwise unreleased numbers and others that wouldn't see the light of day until their third album appeared in 1969. A unique document of a major band at an important juncture in their career, this is essential listening for all lovers of acid rock.
