13.TH FLOOR ELEVATORS: PSYCHEDELIC SOUNDS

Very rare MONO version of raw debut album also featured in The Acid Archives:

Recorded over a 9-month period during 1966, the LP was assembled with some haste as "You're Gonna miss Me" became an unexpected national hit in the early Fall. The mono mix is clearly superior, as is particularly evident on "Roller Coaster" and "Monkey Island", where the stereo mixes sound unfinished and should be avoided. The mono LP was released in late November 1966, thus competing with the Deep and Blues Magoos as the very first "psychedelic"-titled album. The music, in case anyone needs to know, is a firebreathing blend of garage, folkrock and embryonic psychedelia, the latter represented by the two groundbreaking numbers "Roller Coaster" and "Kingdom Of Heaven". 

Cover is still in shrink, but has some wear on the lower right corner, a few small tears and a split line, vinyl looks nice and shiny and plays with great fidelity mostly EX, there are a few low clicks on Splash 1 -  6-8 soft clicks at the end of the song. Reverbration plays with light crackle at the opening. Through the Rhytm on side 2 has a few faint clicks and Kingdom of Heaven has 6-8 clicks at the beginning of the track and a little background noise during the song Not a mint copy, but still a quite decent copy with great sound and withe the superior mono mix.

GRADING

There is nothing more irritating than buying an LP which is overgraded (about half of the LPs I have bought via Ebay has been overgraded.) so I try to grade as accurate as possible both visual and (mostly) audible and describe any flaws on the record. I grade under a 100W light bulb or sunlight. For playgrading I use my Gyro Deck turntable fitted with a Benz Micro MC pick up. If there is any dissatisfaction with any LP there is off course a moneyback warranty.

M-: Perfect copy, the copy that looks like it was bought yesterday and only have been played a few times.

EX: This has been played but still a very satisfying copy that would please most collectors. No scratches or coverwear, LP plays without any problem, as good as perfect in fact many dealers M- is what I would call EX       

VG++: This copy has been played and cover has some wear but still a very good copy that should satisfy most people except the MINT puritans

VG+: This is a played copy, plays with some clicks and background noise. But still the music should be the central part. Cover has ring wear but still not a torn cover or anything.

VG: This is a more used copy with some scratches and clicks, no stops or skips though, cover has heavy wear.
