The Whim of Arrow - 1800LBS of Grey / The Day Noah's Ark Sank. 1966-67 USA

A very bizarre 45. The first side is a mix of novelty folk and hard rock. There's a pretty heavy guitar lick about half way through. It's not psychedelic fuzz either. Like 70s hard rock. 45cat has confirmed the date of this song to be 1966, so way ahead of its time. Seems like it was made for children maybe? The second side is an instrumental organ driven number like Booker T and the MG's (confirmed to be from 1967). Absolutely one of the weirdest 45s I've heard. They were "Rollem" them that's for sure! A certain keeper.

No idea where they're from.

Own. Found at the Austin Record Show (2023).
