Fellow survivor resorts to using wikepedia,
Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) is a song written by Mickey Newbury. Said to reflect the LSD experience, Newbury wrote it as a subtle parody of the emerging underground rock culture. First recorded in 1967 by Jerry Lee Lewis, who rejected it, it was a hit for The First Edition (with Kenny Rogers on lead vocals) in 1968. It was Rogers's first top ten hit in the Billboard charts, but not typical of the country folk harmonies that characterized most of The First Edition's catalog. [1] However, the group were no strangers to rock music, bouncing between country, pop, rock, and folk.
The innovative song features Rogers on lead vocals and was the group's second single. The psychedelic hard rock arrangement made quite an impression in the music field. According to Rogers, "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" was Jimi Hendrix's favorite song. This is possibly due to the way in which the guitars on the track were recorded, which was quite different to what was standard at the time. Producer Mike Post reversed a few chords to create a spooky intro, and the proto-metal solo played by Glen Campbell was heavily reverbed.
Interestingly, when this song was recorded, Rogers, Campbell, Newbury, and Post were not household names and today, they are all major successes. When Rogers signed to United Artists Records in the mid-1970s after the group split, he re-recorded the track for his Ten Years Of Gold album.
Due to its lengthy title, the song has picked up a number of nicknames from both the public and even record companies who press up the song. They are naturally shortened versions of the official title, such as "Just Dropped In", "I Just Dropped In", or simply, "Condition". Possibly because of such a long title too, various pressings have had typing errors and slightly changed the title as a result, such as "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Is In)" or "Just Called In...", etc, however the song remains the same
COULD ID DO BETTER THAN WIKEPEDIA? NOPE>>>>
