Blessed Nobody (1967)
Often called the most innovative musical work of the modern age, Blessed Nobody was built around a magical fantasy theme, held to much more tightly than was the war theme for UXB. The band posed for the cover in costume as traveling medieval minstrels and all the tracks were built around the idea of a fantasy sound with magical influences. This resulted in an Ep!phanee heavy record, but stands as her greatest collected work. Blessed Nobody is often considered the third Ladybug Movie, though it was not filmed, directed, or produced by professionals. Instead, Ep!phanee and the others simply adlibbed falling into their imagined magical fantasy world, playing both themselves and a long list of characters. While some consider it a cult classic, it is hardly ever shown.

The Ladybugs (aka The Spotted Album) (1968)
The self-titles Ladybugs album, also known as the spotted album due to the stylized close-up of a ladybug on the cover reflected not only the backlog of songs by Penny Dreadful and Steffie Sin, but also their desire to return to simpler music. Few of the resulting songs could be considered great with the exception of the first track. The song Tesla’s Stepdaughters became an anthem of a generation of women living in a highly technical world without men.

Platinum Dream (1969)
Platinum Dream was an attempt to return to a more balanced album along the lines of Magnum. It came off as a washed out version of the Spotted Album though. There was little of the hard-rocking Penny Dreadful, and the Steffie Sin songs seemed like Ep!phanee knock-offs. As with the Spotted Album, the one great song was an Ep!phanee classic, this time Rotting Garden of Eden. It was the least successful Ladybugs album, despite the cover. The band posed for the cover wearing only silver body paint, hands and poses supplying some modesty. Unlike Beneath the Denim, there was no recall.
