Και βέβαια οφείλω να ανεβάσω αυτή τη δισκάρα αφού σήμερα είναι η μέρα των Amboy Dukes (θα ακολουθήσει και άλλη ). Εκτιμώ ότι ο συγκεκριμένος δίσκος είναι από τους καλύτερους acid rock που βγήκαν στα 60’s και βέβαια ο καλύτερος των Amboy Dukes. Πιστεύω ότι οι περισσότεροι αν όχι όλοι θα έχετε το δίσκο ή κάποιο cd. Αν όχι, είναι μια ευκαιρία νομίζω έστω και έτσι.
Το ομώνυμο κομμάτι που βάζω τους στίχους και έγινε τελικά το μοναδικό hit των Amboy Dukes, γράφτηκε από τον κιθαρίστα Steve Farmer. Περιγράφει το αίσθημα από ένα acid trip, ωστόσο ο Ted Nugent που δήλωνε ότι δεν είχε πάρει ποτέ «ουσίες» στη ζωή του, νόμιζε πως ήταν απλά η περιγραφή μία εσωτερικής κατάστασης ενός ανθρώπου.
Journey To The Center Of The Mind, lyrics:
Leave your cares behind

Journey To The Center Of The Mind, lyrics:
Leave your cares behind
Come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
Beyond the seas of thought
Beyond the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind.
But please realizeYou'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind.
How happy life could beIf all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Center of the mindthe mind, the mind
