COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE
Following the huge success of their second record, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Iron Butterfly scored a second hit with Ball.
While it didn't have any acid rock freak-out to compare with the epic "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," Ball was a more ambitious album, as the group experimented with shorter, more melodic songs.
Like any Iron Butterfly album, the quality of the material is wildly inconsistent, yet cut for cut, Ball is a more consistent album than their two previous records, as the group trimmed away some of the acid rock excesses of their earlier records while retaining their brutally loud trademark heavy guitars
Side 1:
In The Time Of Our Lives (4:46)
Soul Experience (2:50)
Lonely Boy (5:05)
Real Fright (2:40)
In The Crowds (2:12)
Side 2:
It Must Be Love (3:11)
Her Favorite Style (3:11)
Filled With Fear (3:23)
Belda-Beast (5:46)
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels - just a couple of spindle traces per side
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces are clean but Side Two displays some prominent bag rash which is purely cosmetic and has little effect on the sound performance
VINYL Audio:EXCELLENT+
Plays beautifully throughout with little to fault. The bag rash has little audio consequence - just some low-level surface between track - nothing really
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from some light signs of wear and transfer marks to the white from the black on the inside, the gatefold is sharp and solid and all text on the spine is clear and bold
