13th Thirteenth Floor Elevators Music of the Spheres Limited Vinyl LP Box Set SS

$

133

This auction is for a rare (only 3,000 copies!), brand-new (still factory sealed), "13th Floor Elevators Music of the Spheres", the definitive, strictly limited and pre-numbered vinyl celebration of the 13th Floor Elevators (Roky Erickson, The Spades, Thirteenth Floor Elevators)!

Although there's no way of knowing 100% until item is opened, I believes this is the error version.  Why do I think so?  I know this is one of the early copies because I bought 2 when they first came out (I am keeping the other for myself).  My other copy is numbered 1097 and has the mis-labeled records, so I am pretty sure this one I am selling now on eBay is also both close in number and also the ERROR (non-revised) version (with incorrectly labelled copies of Headstone and Live... albums).

This auction features the best Elevators' vinyl sound ever, this is a fitting, strictly limited, tribute to an iconic band!

Includes much content which will only ever be available in this strictly limited edition.

The box set includes:

Three gatefold double and two single albums all pressed on heavyweight vinyl

The best sound quality ever for Elevators vinyl releases

Strictly limited to a maximum of 3,000 sets

A 48 page new edition of Paul Drummond’s book Sign of the Three Eyed Men in twelve inch format

Three exclusive 3D lenticular prints of the key album s artworks

Full (detailed) Contents :

-A strong thirteen inch square hard box, featuring a unique 3D lenticular cover image of the iconic Zebra man artwork which was used on a poster advertising the band’s performance at the Avalon Ballroom .
-A 2-LP gatefold sleeve edition of “The Psychedelic Sounds of”, remastered from a safety master derived from the original tape source. Album one is the mono edition; album two, a remastered version of the original stereo mix and thus different to the version on Sign of the Three Eyed Men. This, as for Easter Everywhere and Bull of the Woods below, is the first vinyl reissue from tape sources of the stereo editions for over three decades. Album two is the first ever vinyl pressing of the album in the band’s intended running order.
-A 2-LP gatefold sleeve edition of Easter Everywhere, mastered from an original tape source. Album one is the mono edition; album two, a remastered version of the original stereo mix. This is the first official mono reissue of the album since 1967.
-A 2-LP gatefold sleeve edition of Bull of the Woods/A Love that’s Sound. This is the first release on vinyl for the latter and it contains a recently discovered and never-heard before version of Some Day My Love, the song originally scheduled as the band’s 6th single
-The first ever vinyl release of the band’s unreleased first album Headstone.
-The first official vinyl release of Live in California-The Avalon Recordings
-The Sumet Sounds Masters EP, a six track EP of Bob Sullivan’s original stereo ‘desk mixes’ of 5 tracks from The Psychedelic Sounds of recordings plus the highly desirable early version of the band’s second single Reverberation from an acetate, only previously available on the long sold out Sign of the 3 Eyed Men CD box set . This disc will only be available in this package.
-Stunning 8 inch (200cm) 3D lenticular prints of the album artwork for The Psychedelic Sounds of, Bull of the Woods and Easter Everywhere.
-A 48 page full colour revised edition of Sign of the Three Eyed Men the book by Paul Drummond , packed with rare band memorabilia and photos, which traces the strange history of the band
-A limited edition numbered certificate of authenticity.

N.B. Music Of The Spheres is a limited edition, which was originally available from the Record Company's website only.

I appreciate that the shipping cost of this item is high - this is due to the heavy weight of the vinyl and the box (~5kg or 12 lbs. with packaging). As this is a valuable release I have also included postal insurance and signature confirmation in shipping cost.
