Time Circle, 1968-1972
Encyclopedia
Time Circle, 1968–1972 was a compilation album by Spirit
, issued in 1991.
This set draws heavily from the four albums released by the original line-up on Ode/Epic. It also includes some outtakes and versions of songs from then unreleased soundtrack work. At the time that this set was released, Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus
was the only studio album by the original group still in print.
Several of the outtakes were later included on the 1996 reissues of the first four albums. The remixes of the The Family That Plays Together
tracks (necessitated because the master mix
was lost shortly after the album's release) are different from the 1996 re-release.
