What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

IRON BUTTERFLY "in-a-gadda-da-vida" cd,1967

got this one a while ago as part of an Iron Butterfly 3cd album set..
i always liked the title track, but when i first played this i just didnt 'get it'...i let Music Head know what i thought, and his reply was 'i was afraid of that'...probably because its one of those 'had to be there' albums...
so i listened a few more times to give it time to work with me, and thankfully it has..
its a good album, not great, but not bad neither...not so sure about the 17 minute version of the title tracks though with those lengthy drum solos on the middle which sort of let it down a bit for me...had previously only ever heard the standard radio edit version which i love,
but now there is nothing i do not like on this one whatsoever....
