Brimming with in depth 2008 liner notes by Mike Vernon, Guitar Freakout, by The Animated Egg collects 21 tracks recorded and produced in 1967-1968 by the late, great guitar icon Jerry Cole. Leader of Texas instro rockers, 3 Balls Of Fire and a fine guitarist in his own right, Mike Vernon was working with Cole up to his untimely demise in May 2008 although sadly, Cole didn’t live long enough to see the amazing work both Vernon and Sundazed Records put into this prominent reissue of instrumental psychedelic guitar sounds. In 2008, after Cole heard The Animated Egg for the first time since he recorded it in 1968, he proclaimed, ‘We made a damned good record!’ In addition to the ten track Animated Egg album, Sundazed adds in another eleven cuts of reverb soaked instro guitar sounds from Cole that will find a home alongside period piece classics from giants like The Ventures and Davie Allan. www.Sundazed.com
