Journey to the Center of the Mind is the second studio album released by The Amboy Dukes. Released in April 1968 on Mainstream Records, the album is best remembered for its hit single title track, which charted at No.16 on the Billboard singles chart.
The album demonstrates a more pop-oriented approach than the band’s debut album, as well as a psychedelic, garage rock and hard rock sound. Retrospective commentary on the album have called it a classic album of 1968, but also one that wrote lyrics and phrases which have since become cliches about the hippie culture 1960s.
