Original recording
Unlike their previous recordings, "Journey to the Center of the Mind" had a more psychedelic sound, instead of a garage rock sound. The song features lyrics written by the Dukes' second guitarist Steve Farmer, and the melody written by Ted Nugent. The song was recorded with a higher budget than their past recordings. During the recording of the song there was a lot of tension between the band members, and a few of the members quit after the album was released. Released in the summer of 1968, the single helped define the psychedelic era as it peaked at # 16 on the "Billboard" charts.

Other versions
The song "Journey to the Center of the Mind" was covered by Slade (as "Ambrose Slade") in 1969 on the album Beginnings, by The Ramones in 1994 on Acid Eaters and by Sun City Girls in 2001 on Libyan Dream.
