.........................................................................................................................................................................

The record looks unplayed. MINT or LIKE NEW.

The cover is VG+. BB hole in the lower left bottom.

Also there is a superficial horizontal cut line on the lower back cover that extends across the bottom cover. Hard to see unless it's angled to the right light.

Please view all photos as they are part of the description. 


.....A LITTLE NET INFORMATION ABOUT THE BAND......

RCA Victor was one of the major labels that was very willing to throw anything at the wall and see if it stuck during the garage band era and a bit beyond. There's a lot of surprisingly good non-hit rock and soul 45s on the label, but RCA seemed a bit more hesitant to issue LPs by unproven acts -- at least before they started selling tons of Jefferson Airplane LPs, after which they went hog wild on psychedelic-looking LPs which often turn out to be light pop acts, or worse.

A couple years before their binge of youth culture-aimed, kinda junky LPs, RCA took at shot at attracting the heads with The Id, a studio assemblage anchored by super-prolific Wisconsin native Jerald Kolbrack, better known as surf guitar hero/session man Jerry Cole. Unless you know what Cole looked like, the cover provides no identification, only trumpeting "Created and Produced by PAUL ARNOLD" instead of listing any band member names. Cole was no stranger to uncredited work, recording sessions for countless hit records in the '60s, and also releasing various instrumental albums for Capitol or budget labels like Crown and Alshire, many of which are detailed on his myspace page.

On The Inner Sounds of the Id, Cole's classic reverbed-out guitar proclaims his presence loud and clear, and is the best thing about this album. Arnold takes the bulk of the songwriting credits, and what emerged is definitely in the interesting but spotty category.

It's a grab bag of decent slick L.A. garage and folk-rockers, odd time signatures and the de rigueur (for 1967) long track that epitomizes exploito-psych. The most genuinely psychedelic track is the Count Dracula-vocaled "Boil the Kettle Mother," bizarre enough to manage to be hilarious, rocking and strangely menacing at the same time.
