Description

BROKEN BOW & IDABELL : Broken Bow & Idabell LP (no label [USA]) 1976.

Record is excellent with minimal light sleeve scuffs only. Gatefold cover is VG+ with light ring wear and a couple of small splits on the top seam.

With insert (EX).

Nice original copy of this bizarre homemade '70s rock LP.

Here is the full Acid Archives review by Aaron Milenski:

"Psych fans and dealers seem to hate this album, partially because when discovered it was immediately given an outrageous multi-hundred dollar price tag and inaccurate descriptions by several dealers. I may be in the minority, but I completely enjoy it. The back cover describes it as 'one garage, one album, two fools, three years,' and it clearly is a labor of love. These two guys lovingly put together sixteen elaborately arranged songs on a 16-track machine. They pulled out all of the stops—some songs have horns, chorales, pedal steel, synth, etc, giving variety to a number of 70s melodic (not hard rocking) pop/rock styles. A strong sense of comedy is apparent throughout, which may be what put some people off (the album is most easily compared to Northern Front, though this is much better, or R. Stevie Moore, though this is nowhere near as good). Despite the oddness, the music itself is straightforward and of its time, with only a few dreamy ballads and one backwards bit to attract psych fans, and a tad bit of synth to attract prog fans (i.e. it’s no surprise that both types of collectors reacted negatively to it.) The songs are well-written and tightly performed, though, and you have to give credit to a band that can pull off a calypso song with a country middle section. If the above descriptions haven’t yet sent you fleeing, I recommend it despite the naysayers. For a private press, this has very professional packaging."
