JERRY COLE AND HIS SPACEMEN - HOT ROD DANCE PARTY (LP)

Jerry Cole And His Spacemen Hot Rod Dance Party on Limited Edition 180g LP

As one of the busiest and most versatile session guitarists of the ’60s, Jerry Cole recorded with a litany of legends, including Phil Spector, the Beach Boys and the Byrds. But to those in the know, he’s renowned for his own incredible surf and hot rod instrumentals, which he delivered on a series of vintage albums with his band the Spacemen. Cole’s modernistic recordings, however, sound completely different from other surf-and-drag releases of the period, with expansive arrangements that often featured elements of jazz and exotica, the better to showcase the guitarist’s inventive, assertive playing.

One of Cole’s best-loved LPs is this amazing 1964 release, which includes contributions from many of the same L.A.-based musicians who played alongside Cole in the now-legendary session ensemble known as the Wrecking Crew. Cole’s powerful guitar work powers such turbo-charged numbers as “Night Rumble,” “Border Run,” Stinger” and “Hot Rod Queen,” which live up to the album’s title and then some!

Sundazed has lovingly remastered this masterful guitar extravaganza from the original analog tapes, carefully reproduced its complete original cover art and pressed it on high-quality 180g vinyl, all the better to keep this party rolling!
