Iron Butterfly UK 1st Press LP Heavy VG+ ’70 Atco 2465015 Acid Rock
Iron Butterfly
HeavyOriginal 1st press UK LP released in 1970 on Atco Records. Cat: 2465015.
Released in January 1968, "Heavy" was Iron Butterfly's debut album, featuring the original line-up of Doug Ingle (voc/keys), Darryl DeLoach (voc), Danny Weis (gtr), Jerry Penrod (bass), and Ron Bushy (drums). As the title implied, Iron Butterfly set their stall out to play psychedelic rock with a more heavy edge thanks to Weis' occasional use of feedback and fuzzed-out guitar drones alongside Ingle's doom-laden, almost gothic organ. The root of the classic Iron Butterfly sound of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"-fame began to take shape here, as exemplified on psych/rockers such as "Possession", "Unconscious Power", "You Can't Win", and best of all, "Iron Butterfly Theme", a heavy, droned-out, instrumental with lashings of feedback which, Blue Cheer aside, was about as heavy as you could get in 1968. The album captured Butterfly in their formative stages and is, stylistically, something of a mixed bag, with some tracks veering towards a psych/pop/rock middle ground on an album which, essentially, saw Iron Butterfly hone their style within the classic pop format - 10 tracks in 30 minutes - with no excess flab (or jamming), just a collection of short, concise songs that mapped out the blueprint for Butterfly's glory days.
