Hailing from Austin, Texas, the members of 13th Floor Elevators were pioneers of psychedelic music. Their lyrics and sleeve notes openly endorsed the use of drugs to alter human consciousness. The band achieved success in 1966 with their hit song "You're Gonna Miss Me." However, their career was cut short when they faced legal troubles due to drug charges. Despite this setback, lead singer Roky Erickson went on to have a successful solo career after being released from a mental institution in 1973. In recent years, he has made a comeback and continues to perform live.

The band's unique sound combined Roky Erickson's unforgettable vocals with Stacy Sutherland's guitar skills and Tommy Hall's electric jug runs. They released two influential albums in the late 1960s: "The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators" and "Easter Everywhere."

Although their music gained popularity among fans of garage psychedelia, the conservative environment in Texas at that time posed challenges for the band. The authorities targeted them for drug-related offenses, leading to legal troubles and ultimately causing their breakup. Despite these obstacles, 13th Floor Elevators left a lasting impact on psychedelic rock music.

1967 second studio album by the Texan pioneers of psychedelia. This ground-breaking album not only defined psychedelic rock but informed punk a decade later, and even the 90’s indie-dance music scene with Primal Scream’s cover of ‘Slip Inside This House’ on their classic Screamadelica LP. Originally issued in November 1967 - copies barely trickled out of Texas, making original pressings not only expensive but clean copies impossible to find even 50 years ago. Therefore, meticulous attention to detail has gone into this reissue in order to achieve a facsimile edition faithful to the original stereo pressing as issued by the International Artists Recording Corp. If Psychedelic Sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators was the first bona fide psychedelic album, then the band surpassed themselves with what is critically regarded as the masterpiece of psychedelia.

96KHZ-24bit transfers were made of an original pressing of the LP and a mixed master tape. When overlaid the audio matched, authenticating the tape’s provenance as an original cutting master. The number of processes from tape to lacquer were limited to an absolute minimum. No attempt was made to rebalance or EQ. A half speed master was then cut at Air Mastering and a test pressing was then dubbed using the same process and the dynamic range compared against the original pressing. The result was a better sounding pressing than the original!
