The Inner Mounting Flame (1971) is the Mahavishnu Orchestra's first studio album. (See 1971 in music.)
The back cover of the LP features a poem entitled "Aspiration" by Sri Chinmoy.
A remastered version of the album, on CD, was released in 1998 by Sony Music Entertainment. It features a facsimile of the LP front cover, a new set of liner notes by Bob Belden, as well as many photographs of the band.
The Inner Mounting Flame consists solely of original compositions by John McLaughlin. He was also the producer.
The track 'You Know You Know' was sampled in Massive Attack's 'One Love'.
