    Is it just me, or did anyone else buy 5+ copies of this LP as each one was burned through? I swear to God. Must have been closer to 10 by the time I delved deep into the half price bin. And that was about US $1.99...

    This was one of the first "weird" records I ever bought. Has a special sentimental place because of that. I only bought it once, though. Love the cover art!

    Grant Life is a rock, but the radio rolled me!

    The album is certainly bizarre!

    The God of Hell Fire! Between this and Thunderclap Newman, I was pretty well convinced that Pete Townshend was a genius. And that's not even counting Pictures of Lily....

    I actually did, at a nightclub north of Buffalo NY. It was an all ages show (the club usually required 18+) because the promoter was worried it wouldn't sell out, and had no clue how crazy Brown could be.

    Constantly played this album through the 70s and early 80s, then found a mono copy and was blown away... side one felt like a whole new (half) album to fall in love with.

    Being an Arthur Brown junkie, I"d like to know where you got the mono versions. And, of course where I might also. I Need my fix!

    Never got into the LP.

    But the moment I heard “Fire” for the first time on AM radio I raced to Sam Goody’s and picked up the 45.

    One of my 60s treasures.
