According to the book, this was the first album to be certified platinum million selling... you'd have thought it would have been the Beatles or Elvis or even Miles Davis but nope... Iron Butterfly.
The title track, which takes up the whole second side of the album, was the big winner. It gained its title because the guy who wrote it was too drunk to say 'in the Garden of Eden'.
The first half of the album is a relatively enjoyable collection of fuzzy psychedelic jams mixed with proto-metal riffery that kind of pre-empts Black Sabbath.
