Notes:  An album full of big sound and even though it's a bit dated still manages to hold your attention all the way through. Every so often they hit a very Steppenwolf-like stride and then go off on their own again. The 14 minute Butterfly Bleu has all of the sixties trappings including a hint of sitar and the scent of jasmine. The back cover art has a very nice deco or Parrish feel to it. The front cover photo sums it all up; cradle to grave.
