Once again, Rhino Hand Made are proven as liars (limited edition for $50....... yeah right).

That said......... my favorite IB album by a mile is the official Atco release, "Live". Because of that I was really excited when this came out.

While it may be worth the $20; it's not nearly as good as the original "Live". IF I remember right, this is earlier material; in fact I believe there are only 2 songs on both releases: Are You Happy & In A Gadda Da Vida.

Anyone who likes IB at all & hasn't heard Live NEEDS to get it (& it's cheap if you buy the used import edition; I wasn't aware until right now that it's oop in the USA; a couple years ago it was $5 brand new):

Makes me wonder why there is no comprehensive Iron Butterfly box set with outtakes, unreleased material, rarities, etc, as well as the "core five" (Heavy, In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida, Live, Ball, Metamorphosis).
