Iron Butterfly released their first album in the spring of 1967 titled Heavy. The following winter while the band was on the road with other famous rock stars like, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Traffic, The Who, and Cream, their impressive debut stayed on Billboard's album charts for almost a year. In July of 1968, Iron Butterfly released the monumental LP, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, featuring the 17:05 minute side-long track that shook the entire music industry.

To date the album has sold in excess of 25 million copies and remains an undisputed classic in the archives of rock with DJ's worldwide. Within a year of releasing In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Iron Butterfly had charted a third album, Ball, which surpassed Vida and climbed to No. 1. Ball remained on the charts for 44 weeks, followed by two more album releases in 1970 Live, and Metamorphosis, each charting in the Top 20.
