Look Inside is the first of two LPs released by the Asylum Choir, a studio group consisting of the session musicians Leon Russell and Marc Benno. It was issued by Smash Records in 1968 with catalogue number SRS 67107 (stereo edition). The original Smash label on the vinyl designates the name of the album as "Look Inside The Asylum Choir" by the Asylum Choir, although the album cover titling suggests that it is entitled simply "Look Inside."

Cover design
The original gatefold cover featured an image of a roll of toilet paper. The image created sufficient controversy that Smash records reissued the album with a cover featuring a portrait of Russell and Benno. Designer: Lou Kimzey Photography: Ralph Poole
