Psychedelic Guitars

Psychedelic Guitars is the third release from Ace Records featuring Jerry Cole's Crown and Custom label's recordings from the 1960s.

Crown jumped all over the latest fads and wasted no time whatsoever in proffering their $1.98 LPs at grocery stores and other retail outlets. And they often recycled recordings with updated packaging that often didn't have anything to do with what was actually on the record itself. But unlike so many other drugstore records, Jerry Cole's LPs contained some really good tracks, mostly penned by Jerry and featured many of LA's super-session players such as Leon Russell, Don Randi, Steve Douglas and Billy Preston.

Jerry Cole was a space-age, soul-surfin', hot-roddin', go-goin', blues-pickin' psychedelic ranger if there ever was one and he gave it everything he had. Many people have not even been aware of these hard-to-find LPs existence and still others probably dismissed them out of hand due to the exploitation aspect and the lack of details on the covers. And while this is quite understandable, this compilation and the other two Jerry Cole comps in this series give the listener an opportunity to discover, re-evaluate and enjoy his unique and fun recordings for Crown and Custom Records.
