Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus is the fourth album by the American rock band Spirit. It was produced by David Briggs, who is best known for his work with Neil Young. The original LP was released in November 1970 by Epic. The band's lowest charting album to that point, it peaked at No. 63 on the Billboard 200 in February 1971, spending only fourteen weeks on the chart. However, it sold well as a catalog item and became the band's only album to ultimately attain a RIAA gold certification in the U.S., achieving that status in 1976. On the Canadian RPM Magazine Top 100 charts, the album reached no. 49 and was in the top 100 for 10 weeks. "Nature's Way" became one of Spirit's signature songs, but was not a big hit at the time, peaking at No. 111 on the Billboard pop chart in 1971. To capitalize on the album's enduring appeal, "Mr. Skin" was released as an A-side in 1973 and also charted, peaking at No. 92. It was voted number 332 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums 3rd Edition. Despite these commercial limitations, Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus enjoyed significant airing on college FM radio.
