Heavy

LP (Item 575437) Atco, 1968 — Condition: Very Good+
Temporarily Out Of Stock

LP, Vinyl record album

✈
❔
Heavy sounds from Iron Butterfly – a record that's not nearly as well known as their classic In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida – but which has a very similar vibe all the way through! The songs are a bit shorter, but these guys really manage to do a lot with a little – using lots of brooding bass right up from the bottom, to create a blueprint for hard rock imitators in years to come – none of whom were able to match these guys' simple, direct approach – and their optimistic sense of power in their music. Many numbers often have this vocal interplay that really works wonderful with the fuzzy guitar lines – and titles include "Possession", "Unconscious Power", "So Lo", "Look For The Sun", "Stamped Ideas", "Fields Of The Sun", and a nice fuzzy funk version of "Get Out Of My Life Woman".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(1841 Broadway pressing. Cover has wavy upper corners, faint stain on the opening, bent lower corner.)

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or pressing details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Iron Butterfly

Metamorphosis
Atco, 1970. Near Mint- Gatefold
A record that's not a complete metamorphosis for Iron Butterfly, but one that definitely has the group stretching out with even more force and confidence than before! The group were maybe one of the few to come to hard rock via psych, instead of the blues rock path that so many others took at the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Iron Butterfly

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Atco, 1968. Near Mint-
The album that rocked a million dorm rooms back in the 60s – and for good reason, too – given that the title track is a side-long, totally jamming monster – the kind of track that was really revolutionary at the time, and which still has a hell of an impact all these many years ... LP, Vinyl record album

Vanilla Fudge

Vanilla Fudge
Atco, 1967. Very Good
One of the coolest concepts for a record in the 60s – and a set that's the first, and maybe crowning achievement of Vanilla Fudge! The set's mighty trippy – and often offers up very weird, fuzzy remakes of songs that were more mainstream hits for other artists in the 60s – tunes ... LP, Vinyl record album

Back Street Crawler

Band Plays On
Atco, 1975. Near Mint-
(Cover has surface wear and aging.) LP, Vinyl record album

Allman Brothers

Beginnings

Back Street Crawler

2nd Street
Atco, 1976. Very Good+
(Includes the printed inner sleeve.) LP, Vinyl record album
Atco, 1976. Very Good+ Gatefold
Life after Peter Gabriel – with Phil Collins doing a surprisingly great job on vocals – free from all the tripe of later years! The group are still very much in the mode of their early prog years, but balance things out with a few catchier tunes – a mode that's a bit like the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Roxy Music

Manifesto
Atco, 1979. Very Good+
A brilliant little comeback album for Roxy Music – their first album in 4 years after Siren, and a well-done departure that takes off from older records without losing any of their greatness! In a way, the set's almost the group's Lodger – a similar effort to Bowie's record from the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Horslips

Tain
Atco, 1974. Very Good+ Gatefold
(UK Oats pressing. Includes the lyric inner sleeve. Gatefold cover has some light surface & edge wear.) LP, Vinyl record album

Yes

90125
Atco, 1983. Very Good+
An album of surprising brilliance – recorded late in the career of Yes, but one of the group's biggest hits ever! And while we've always been fans of Anderson, Squire, & Co, we're also ready to admit that the real star here is Trevor Horn – who produced the album and put the whole ... LP, Vinyl record album
Atco, 1974. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
Hard to go wrong with the insanity of this one! The record broke the bank of Genesis, but really allowed Peter Gabriel to trip out nicely as his swan song to the band. LP, Vinyl record album

Last Words

Last Words
Atco, 1967. Very Good+
A bit Sunshine pop, a bit blue-eyed soul – and the only full album ever recorded by The Last Words – a group with roots in New York, and some Florida help here from producers Brad Shapiro and Steve Alaimo! The tunes are mostly in a 60s jangle-pop mode – post-folk electric, but ... LP, Vinyl record album
