Iron Butterfly – “Evil Temptation” 1967

This is another rare 45 from my collection and was recorded an unknown lineup of Iron Butterfly. This was originally posted on youtube by gypsyball, who I gave a copy of this song to because at the time I didn’t have an account here. This was most likely recorded in early to late 1967 or possibly later, but I am unsure.

All I know about the lineup is this:
Erik Braunn – Lead Guitar

Doug Ingle (who I’ve had the priviledge of talking to) said that he is not on this recording and he is fairly certain that Ron Bushy isn’t either.

But I do know that this song was played live at the Galaxy Club in the Fall of 1967, except that version had lyrics (sung by Darryl DeLoach), was almost 7 minutes long, and was titled “Time to Ignore Evil Temptation.” This song is simply an instrumental jam version of the Galaxy Club one. But again it is unknown when this was recorded and whose in the lineup.
