$

THIS MAY NOT BE AN ORIGINAL SEALED MINT BUT IT IS SO CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL ITS UNCANNY. IT IS A REPRO ON THE SAME LABEL. THE NEXT BEST THING. WHAT WOULD AN ORIGINAL SALE FOR?  ESPECIALLY  IF IT WAS AN ORIGINAL SEALED WHICH WOULD BE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE? THE ONLY THING I HAVE SEEN CLOSE WAS A STILL SEALED JOSEPHUS ALBUM. WHICH WAS LIKE $1000.00. BUT GETTING BACK TO THE TASK AT HAND THIS MAY BE A REPRESS BUT STILL REMAINS A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER LP AND IT'S STEREO! CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AND ENJOY! THANKS FOR LOOKING!

The 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.
Roky, 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."
