Love this music! Grew up w it in 1970sGreat sound on CDGood price for CD

My husband loves it. I personally hate how long this song is.But it was what he wanted so I am happy it fit the bill

Great album,Great sound!

The 1995 updating and remastering of the pychedelic classic In-Gadda- Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly is a step in the right direction. The cover is a nifty 1990s hologram which is actually an improvement of the bland 1968 cover. The sound is definitely superior to first edition compact disc (1990), but it could be improved with higher volume and dynamic level remastering. Tape hiss is still evident at times, and there could be improvements in balancing the highs and lows. I still prefer to listen to this album on vinyl where the volume range is not a problem and the sound is more balanced, more dynamic and actually sonically superior. This disc seems to be at a digital midway point. I am certain that a superior digital remastering at a higher volume and dynamic range with a sound that is more like the vinyl, will occur or has occured. Perhaps I will try the 2003 Japanese disc, but its pricetag is hefty, and I am unsure if it will measure up to the vinyl. I will still recommend this disc, because the original 1990 compact disc was one of the worst sounding discs of all time. This disc is still worthwhile because everyone needs to experience all 17 minutes of In-Gadda-Da-Vida in some form; plus the new cover is a wonderful improvement.

This is a one-of-a-kind band that came out of nowhere. I first heard the music in Tucson, AR. The disc jockey played the opening song 12 times in a row. The song alone was 17 minutes and 5 seconds long, and to this day, I still listen to it. The band was local from Tucson, Arizona. The drummer was in his junior year at the U. of AR; the lead guitarist was 17. The lead member who played the organ had a music school in the city, and the bassist came out of nowhere; talented. It's a must-try for the first time. This song is considered significant in rock history. Not only is it said to be the first hit song that could be classified as heavy metal, but along with music by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Steppenwolf, it marks the beginning of a particularly powerful era.

Old school great CD

The LP of Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was packaged very nicely. It even came with a slipcover for the album cover itself. (It may have came with the record originally)The first time I even heard of this song was on The Simpsons which was season Season 7 Epsode 4: Bart Sells His Soul. If you wish to see the clip of The Simpsons whereIn-A-Gadda-Da-Vida on YouTube the video name is called: The Simpsons - In the Garden of Eden - S07E04Since then I wanted to find that song. After years I came across it but instead of being vinal it was a CD mostly because vinals faded away. So I bought the CD and sadly years latter I lost it. I never owned another one until now. So when I found it I thought why not go vinal like it meant to be played on.Long story short it bought me back to when I first heard it on The Simpsons and when I did had the CD around the early 2000s. The record plays smoothly like I went back in time and bought it when it was first released.(Note: This is not a reproduction but one of the original records.) So anyways I'm just lisining to this record as I type out my review.

Flash back memories.

The title track, In A Gadda Da Vida, was, bizarrely, on the juke box in the NAAFI bar when I was in the RAF. I bought the album on vinyl but ultimately had to sell all my records because I couldn't keep lugging them round with me. I've finally got round to buying this on CD and it's every bit as wacky as I remembered.The first five tracks (side 1 on vinyl) are fine examples of 60's psychedelic rock, very much like the soundtrack to an edgy 60s art film, but the title track, oh my word! It's a 17 minute and 5 second feast of musical genius, whilst being absolutely bonkers. It features heavy bass, magnificently fuzzed guitar, pounding drums and a church organ, yet somehow it all works. It's noisy, discordant and superb!

A prensagem é muito boa, em vinil transparente. Deve ter umas 140 gramas. Aliás, acho um exagero um disco de 180 gramas, além do peso. O som tem as mesmas limitações da 1ª edição lançada no Brasil em 1969 (ATCO ALP 605.029), já que a produção original deixa um pouco a desejar. Isso não quer dizer que não valha a pena comprar esta edição. Vale muito, pois a edição é bem caprichada. O disco não foi lançado no Brasil em 1968. O lado A, antes um pouco desprezado, agora me parece muito bom, até quanto à qualidade do som. O lado B é a própria história do rock pesado: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida baby.

Super Album auf CD , habe es natürlich auch auf Vinyl, die CD ist für das Auto.

Très bon, j'ai le vinyl et je le cherchais en CD, c'est un des tout premier disque que j'ai eu en ma possession dans les années 1970-75, surtout la 6e et la musique est géniale.

La entrega fue muy corecta y el disco que voy a decirme recuerda mis años jovenesque siempre es agradableel disco. Muy bonito transparente y un sonido espectacular
