Album notes Jerry Cole, guitarist for surf-rockers the Spacemen, and a '60s L.A. session king, turned out a classic psychedelic guitar album under the name the Animated Egg. An in-demand collector's item before this reissue, it features all-instrumental tracks where Cole engages in some of the most fuzz-laden six-string explorations you'll ever hear. This release includes bonus tracks Cole released in a similar style under various other noms de psych. ============================================================================ http://www.spincds.com/guitar-freakout-cd Details The late L.A. session guitar genius Jerry Cole has long been worshipped for his work with everyone from the Beach Boys and the Byrds to Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley and by surf fans as the leader of the Spacemen. But unbeknownst to many, Cole was also the driving force behind the Animated Egg, a fictitious band whose lone, self-titled LP is one of the greatest psychedelic exploitation records ever to hit the budget bins of U.S. chain stores-and eventually the want lists of big-spending DJs and collectors. Comprised of splashy, fuzz-drenched "Now Sound" instrumental groovers, The Animated Egg easily lives up to both the eBay hype and the promise of its evocative track titles: "Sure Listic," "Sock It My Way," "Sippin' and Trippin'," and-yes indeed-"I Said, She Said, Ah Cid." In addition to the rare self-titled LP by the Animated Egg, this collection also includes cuts by other related Cole projects: the Projection Company, the Generation Gap, T. Swift & the Electric Bag, and the Stone Canyon Rock Group. Sourced from the original analog masters, Sundazed's glorious CD and high-definition double-LP vinyleditions of this hallowed prize are a must for turntablists and brain-trippers alike. ============================================================================ Blog Review: In the 1960s, Jerry Cole was one of America's most prolific guitarists, turning his hand to surf music, rock, country, jazz and blues and playing on sessions for Brian Wilson and Phil Spector. He would replace less proficient group members at recordings, making the acts sound better than they were. He was born Jerald Kolbrack in 1939 in Wisconsin and was raised in Chicago, which had a thriving blues scene. As Jerry Cole he joined the Champs, who recorded the million-selling instrumental "Tequila" (1958). A few years later, he and another Champ, Glen Campbell, decided to try their luck as session guitarists in Los Angeles. Bobby Darin recommended Cole to Capitol Records and he made a succession of instrumental albums as Jerry Cole and His Spacemen, starting with Outer Limits (1963), a combination of surf and space-age music. Capitol tried Cole as a vocalist but it was decided his voice was not strong enough. With such big names as Hal Blaine (drums) and Larry Knechtel (keyboards), Cole was part of the Wrecking Crew, Phil Spector's session band, and is featured on the Ronettes' "Be My Baby". He is heard on the familiar records of the Byrds ("Mr Tambourine Man"), the Dixie Cups ("Chapel of Love"), Them ("Here Comes The Night") and Paul Revere and the Raiders ("Kicks"). The producer Lee Hazlewood also used him for several Nancy Sinatra sessions, including "These Boots are Made for Walkin'". As a studio guitarist, Cole had residencies in numerous television series including Shindig!, Hullabaloo, The Sonny and Cher Show and Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. He made a score of low-budget, but still technically proficient, instrumental LPs which were sold in supermarkets under a variety of names. Cole worked on the road for Andy Williams for three years and Roger Miller for five. In 1966, Brian Wilson recorded the backing tracks for Pet Sounds while the other Beach Boys were on tour, and Cole played on "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and "Sloop John B". He was also used on the Beach Boys album 15 Big Ones (1976), which was around the time he was working with Phil Spector on Dion's mesmerizing Born To Be With You. When psychedelia was coming in, he recorded several albums in this style including The Animated Egg (1966). He played on the blues album Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee and the Aloha From Hawaii television special with Elvis Presley, both in 1973, and worked as a studio musician with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. In 2006, Cole returned to surf music with the album Back to the Boards. Last year, he was recording again with Brian Wilson. by Spencer Leigh In January 2008 Jerry Cole heard The Animated Egg for the first time since he recorded it in Los Angels some forty years earlier " we made a damned good record" he said. Five months later on May 28th 2008, he passed away, went on the big trip to meet again with his buddies in heaven's Great Band. ============================================================================= http://www.recordcollectormag.com/reviews/review-detail/3598 Jerry Cole, guitar session legend, 1939-2008 When released in 1969 this American album quickly sunk without trace and has been a collectors’ item ever since – at £20. Despite the band shot to be found in the artwork, this was a group of session musicians playing psych(ish) instrumentals with a view to a record company making a quick buck. The prime mover was legendary sessionman Jerry Cole, who could crank and spank the frets with the best of them, and has been heard on hits ranging from surfboard romances to Presley powerhouses. Musically, this is near prime rib rather than broiler chicken and, while some tracks, such as I Said, She Said, Ah Cid, tick the psych box, the likes of Sure Listic and Slippin’ & Trippin’ sound like 80s indie shoegazers, or music made by Smiths fans waiting for a vocal overdub. A lost psych classic? Probably not, as the music is too mannered, though Cole and the unknown organ player know how to ride a groove, the former stinging out fuzzy guitar lines as if he were Jeff Beck on a busman’s holiday. As always, Sundazed have included bonus tracks showcasing Cole’s other instrumental releases, including a piano-led driving train of blues sustain called Our Man Hendrix. ---------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Animated Egg - Guitar Freakout --------------------------------------------------------------------- Artist...............: The Animated Egg Album................: Guitar Freakout Genre................: Rock Source...............: CD Year.................: 1967 Ripper...............: Exact Audio Copy (Secure mode) & Optiarc DVD+-RW ND-3570A Codec................: Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) Version..............: reference libFLAC 1.2.1 20070917 Quality..............: Lossless, (avg. compression: 73 %) Channels.............: Stereo / 44100 HZ / 16 Bit Tags.................: VorbisComment Information..........: FLAC 8 Ripped by............: cozzmick on 7/21/2011 Posted by............: cozzmick on 7/22/2011 News Server..........: news.astraweb.com News Group(s)........: alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.metal.full.albums Included.............: NFO, MD5, M3U, LOG, CUE Covers...............: Front Back CD --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tracklisting --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.
