I will be listing some rare jazz and blues records from single collection over the next few weeks. Look out for my other listings of vintage Blue Note, Riverside, Contemporary, Pacific Jazz, Prestige, Savoy, Verve, Impulse, etc.
The 13th Floor Elevators The Psychedelic Sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators International Artists IA-LP-1 LP Here is the uber-rare mono 1968 pressing debut LP, and iconic psych classic, from Texas' 13th Floor Elevators with lead singer Roky Erickson at his most primal! This is the stuff of legends and is a true transportive trip for any listener with an open mind. This is a must have for any record collection, psych or otherwise.
Record grade: Strong VG plays VG+ Great player copy! One notable feelable scratch about 1" long on last track is audible but barely so. Ultrasonic cleaned.
Cover notes: Iconic psych graphics and one of my all-time favorite covers. This is a standard album jacket, sturdy and solid, with slight creasing on back upper corner and some shelf and edge wear, particularly to spine. Overall, clean and solid for it's age.
