From the archives of ‘60s Psychedelic Rock comes a live concert album showcasing the early beginnings of one of the most influential Heavy Psych bands, Iron Butterfly. Available on CD and, for the first time, 12” vinyl from Purple Pyramid Records starting May 27!

The concert was recorded at the historic Galaxy Club, which opened in 1964 just two doors west of the Whisky in the heart of the Sunset Strip, USA. This performance features the rare early line-up of the band that recorded the full-length Heavy (1968): Doug Ingle (vocals and organ), Danny Weiss (guitar), Jerry Penrod (bass), Darryl DeLoach (vocals and percussion) & Ron Bushy (drums).

“Every big name act that was in LA came to see us play at the Galaxy,” says Bushy. “There was Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, etc.”

Atlantic Records showed up too, signed the band, and sent them into the studio to record what would become the band’s debut album. The set list from this night’s performance included 'Possession', Heavy (1968) opening cut, and its far-sighted closer, 'Iron Butterfly Theme' as well as 'Fields Of Sun', 'Gentle As It May Seem' and 'You Can’t Win'. All of them performed by a band that was about to emerge from its cocoon to become the mighty Iron Butterfly!
