Includes original release liner notes by Lelan Rogers.\u003cbr\u003eThis release features a special gatefold LP style CD sleeve.\u003cbr\u003e13th Floor Elevators: Roky Erickson (vocals, guitar); Stacy Sutherland (guitar); Benny Thurman (bass); John Ike Walton (drums); Tommy Hall.\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in 1966.\u003cbr\u003eThe 13th Floor Elevators might have been remembered simply as one-hit wonder of the '60s--the Texas equivalent of the Count 5, for example--had it not been for two things. First, they were the only rock band in history to feature a guy playing a continuous obligato on electric jug, which added a deeply weird element to even their most straightforward three-chord rockers. Second, and perhaps more importantly, they were fronted by a genuine howling weirdo and cult figure-to-be, the incomparable Roky Erickson.\u003cbr\u003eRoky, who took more acid trips than Jerry Garcia had hot meals, was nonetheless a gifted songwriter who sang every word (however bizarre) as if his life depended on it. This debut album--reputedly the first rock album on which the word 'psychedelic' appears-- features the band's sole national hit, the garage punk classic \"You're Gonna Miss Me.\" The other material here is nearly as good, however, including the Stones-y \"Reverberation\" and the oft-covered \"Fire Engine.\"","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42037327134885,"sku":"5060767440018","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/b6a3eae5821b6ac5e45892966e833216.jpg?v=1777620255","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/products\/psychedelic-sounds-of-the-13th-floor-elevators","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
