The edges of the front cover artwork wrap around to the back and are glued down in three distinct \"flaps.\" Later 1970s reissues moved to a standard non-flipback, non-laminated jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Green Atlantic Label:\u003c\/b\u003e Look for the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"39\"\u003ebright green Atlantic label\u003c\/b\u003e.

Because of the long duration and heavy organ\/drum solo, these grooves are very shallow. Australian pressings are known for being particularly \"noisy\" if they have even minor scuffs, so a \"Visual VG+\" or better copy is highly sought after by audiophiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKeywords:\u003c\/b\u003e Iron Butterfly, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Vinyl LP, 1968, Atlantic Records, SAL-933002, Australian Pressing, Flipback Sleeve, Psychedelic Rock, Classic Rock, Festival Records Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTags:\u003c\/b\u003e 60s Psychedelic, Hard Rock Vinyl, Rare Australian Pressings, Festival Records Collector, Mono vs Stereo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iron Butterfly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51482902954301,"sku":"5676","price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/2605\/9325\/files\/In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.jpg?v=1773209265","url":"https:\/\/gravestonerecords.com.au\/products\/in-a-gadda-da-vida-iron-butterfly","provider":"Gravestone Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
