Iron Butterfly’s second album, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, was cut from the same cloth as contemporary outings by fellow LA luminaries The Seeds, The Music Machine and The Strawberry Alarm Clock, yet it outshone them all.
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida sold in excess of one million copies in its first year alone and became the soundtrack to the summer of 1968, its 17-minute title track defining a generation of stoned alternative rock fans.
'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida' has taken on a life of its own, having been used in many films (Manhunter, Resident Evil: Extinction) and TV shows (The A Team, Seinfeld, The Simpsons - twice!), as well as being covered (Slayer, Boney M) and sampled (Beck, Nas) numerous times.

Expanded edition of the best-selling rock classic includes 4 non-album A-side and B-side bonus tracks
First time on CD for the live instrumental edit of 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida'
16 page booklet featuring reproductions of original promotional materials and singles and liner notes by Shindig! editor Andy Morten
