What you are bidding on is a beautiful pressing of THE RED CRAYOLA WITH THE FAMILIAR UGLY: THE PARABLE OF ARABLE LAND.  This rock rarity is on the INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS RECORDS label from the USA.  If you need this lp, this is the one. Beautiful.  This is from a DJ's collection, that was rarely played if ever. early pressing.  No bar code.  This is the real deal, first pressing.  It would be hard to find a better copy.

Red Crayola were established in Houston in September 1966. line-up 'A' was very much embryonic. They began playing straight rock numbers like Hey Joe but by December 1966 they had developed the improvised music style - the Freeform Freak-out - that they are best remembered for. All interested parties were invited to perform in their shows and in effect a companion group (known as The Familiar Ugly) was established. When International Artists invited Thompson, Barthelme and Cunningham to record their debut album in March 1967 The Familiar Ugly were featured in the Freeform Freak-outs between each track. Quite aside from the Freak-outs the album included some very strange material - formless and improvised, the psychedelia of tracks like Hurricane Fighter Plane (which Roky Erickson played organ on), Transparent Radiation (which Roky played harmonica on) and Pink Stainless Tail was very different to that of other Texas bands of the era.
