    My first vinyl. I bought it new right after hearing it on FM radio out of Miami. In the unfashionable SW corner of Florida in the 1960's, I thank our lucky stars The Record Bar on Central existed. Working my way through catag my 55+ collecting history, but In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was my first.

      I wonder how many who actually know what the title track was supposed to be called - In the Garden of Eden !?! I read it online in the 90s, but few seem to know that to this day. According to one of the bandmates, Michael Mann's old (1986) Hannibal Lecktor (!) movie Manhunter on TV.

      For those of you into electronic music, you know that Michael Mann asked Mel Brooks, 97, will get an Honorary Oscar in January (not with the Academy Award winners in March), although he got one already for the script to the classic 1968 The Producers...

      Anyway, I think he wanted them again for 'Manhunter'. But they made several soundtracks (some quite bad) at the time, and so he had to settle with a piece by KS, Freeze from Various - Manhunter - though, probably due to copyright issues. And now, I have a dozen clocks, phones and such (even one in "the turlet") to adjust. Now, is it 3AM or 5AM?

        Little known fact that this LP was the second highest selling record in the whole 60's decade, selling over 30 million units - only out sold only by Sgt. Peppers - 30 million people can't be wrong

            Time to figure out which issue of this album I have. See you in a few years.

              The is a must for anybody that has any memories of the 60s. Every boy in school worth his salt knew this drum solo. In the early 80's I went to the record store in the mall and asked to order a copy. He had one on hand. I asked how many do you sell? He said about one a week.

              That said when audiophile novices ask, "what is grunge?" (relating to the mastering process) this album is the prime example. Mobile Fidelity really dropped their standards when they reissued this on CD. It sounds no better than my rererelease on vinyl. The Rhino version also is not good but frankly better than the Mobile Fidelity, who apparently used DBX noise reduction, which acts like a slow moving tone control. Substantial breathing on the MoFi version. Just get the Rhino and turn down the treble, there are no real highs to be found here anyway.

                I have always felt Side one was very under rated...a terrific
                Psychedelic summer feel

                  I discovered this Album via the Original Soundtrack of Michael Mann 's thriller movie from 1986 "The Sixth Sense", where the track "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" gives the final scene a great touch of sonic madness. The whole album has a strange but enjoyable Psychedelic Rock feel, especially through the singer's vocals, but the final track is the one that has made history here.
