Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

RARE & SOUGHT authentic ((100%)) 1967 ORIGINAL on the legendary International Artists label, released 51+ years ago. This is the real-deal, PLEASE SEE FULL DETAILS BELOW!
Featuring ROKY ERICKSON who issued four outstanding psychedelic garage albums on this International Artists label...
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Nobody made psychedelic rock sound more desert-scorched than the 13th Floor Elevators. The "Psychedelic Sounsd Of" Lp by these acid-eating Texan's scooped straight from a sizzling patch of the Chihuahuan, way, way down south along the Mexico border. Their sound is murky and dirt-caked, Roky Erickson's voice is a Texas-twanged cry in the night, Stacy Sutherland's guitar is full of garage rock sting, Tommy Hall's electric jug keeps blaring out UFO noises, and the songs themselves range from pretty wildflowers to baked-brain rock 'n' roll blasts.
This November 1966 album title is purported to be the first use of the word "psychedelic" in reference to the music within. However, this is in dispute as two other bands also used the word in titles of LPs released in November of 1966: The Blues Magoos' Psychedelic Lollipop, and The Deep's Psychedelic Moods.
Forget about San Francisco: The American capitol of psychedelic rock was Austin, Texas, and no band soared higher than Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators. In addition to acid-tinged garage rockers such as the crazed-love anthem, "You're Gonna Miss Me," the Elevators' debut included tracks such as "Reverberation (Doubt)," "Roller Coaster," and "Splash 1," which viscerally evoked the sounds of their titles while offering lyrics that provided a philosophical structure for the psychedelic experience. The lyrics were written by Tommy Hall, who also played amplified jug. Hard as it may be to believe now, that jug created a weird sound that predicted that burbling synthesizers of modern-day techno... together combined, the stupefying first album by Texas' heroic psychedelic point-men, the 13th Floor Elevators, contains the unearthly banshee howl of Roky Erickson, the blistering guitar of Stacy Sutherland and the demented electric jug of Tommy Hall haven't sounded this cool since their glory days in the third eye of the lysergic hurricane!

- "Roller Coaster"
- "Splash 1 (Now I'm Home)"
- "Reverberation (Doubt)"

CONDITION: The Cover: is VG = even though this cover remains in partial (original) cellophane and contains an extremely (clean!!!) "You're Gonna Miss e"/"Reverberation" sticker on outside of the partial cellophane. So, here's the deal: the original owner attempted well enough to preserve this super rare sticker by taping (clear tape) the front cover cellophane around the edges and including taping down missing shrink wrap that still remains (so there is actual tape in places on the actual cover.) Most of the cellophane on front cover remains, but in the places the cellophane is missing there is contact wear, as photo shows. The seams are all very strong, flat & square front & back panels. The back cover is VG+ with light wear (no shrink wrap) and partial tape pieces at edges from taped on cellophane front cover. All in all, the cover remains HIGHLY collectible as it is, 50+ years old and where will you ever find the sticker on the front cover?? There are no split seams, no bends, no writing, flat and square....also the original "stereo" sticker remains on outer cellophane.
The Vinyl: is rated close to VG+ few light marks, nothing deep. Play grade was very clean hardly any noticeable surface ...the aqua International Artists labels have a inked "T" on each label - check the photos!
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
