So tell me about it. Is this an accurate summation? Are there other, better records? Is this old or new?

unless you want to persuade me that it's worth the $20 for the Italian reissue...

The side-long cut is ok. It's sort of like an "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" redux, though, complete with a crappy drum solo towards the end that kind of kills the momentum. The riffs are even a bit similar, come to think of it. I actually like the shorter songs on the other side a bit better, I think.
That vinyl reissue on Akarma is really a wonder to behold, though. They even reproduced the big fold-out poster that came with original issue of the record!

(the side-long cut is nothing like "in-a-gadda-da-vida," dammit!)

similarities:
1. side-long2. crappy drum solo towards the end which darn near kills the thing

yeah, the search party album is pretty great - folk-psychy, christ-themed mellow stuff with some really beautiful songs and female vocals (the male vocals aren't bad, either). side A is really strong, side B lets up a little bit and gets more 'songwriter' in style. it was worth $20 to me, but i'm pretty much down with the jesus-psych thing inasmuch as my meager budget allows.

Sundazed did a sweet-lookin' 2LP and CD reissue of this. Authorized. Even considering buying the expensive vinyl because bonus tracks.

I bought it on vinyl - and it's fucking amazing (apart from the slight noise at the beginning of three sides - possible due to the coloured vinyl)..
The extra tracks are worth it alone.. Quality package...

oh well, this was on my "hope someone is going to reissue it" list: now waiting for a proper re-release of Leigh Stephens and Top Drawer too!
― Marco Damiani, Sunday, 19 December 2010 11:47 (fifteen years ago)
Um which Leigh Stephens? Because Sundazed did "Red Weather," too.

i just got the sundazed reissue, it's dope, especially the side-long track. it's a little short though for $20.
what was their big song, though? i grabbed it because i heard a song on my friend's pandora (i think it was on like led zeppelin radio or something) but now i can't seem to remember which track it was?

the side long track reminds me more of some sort of chill ash ra tempel or far east family band thing than iron butterfly
