THIS IS AN ORIGINAL, FIRST PRESSING WITHOUT MASTERPHONICS OR MASTERFONICS IN THE MATRIX
FROM ACID ARCHIVES: International Artists put substantial amounts into "Easter", which was supposed to establish the Elevators as a major force in rock music, after the unexpected underground success of "Psychedelic Sounds". Unfortunately it came out about 6 months too late (released in November), and lacked a strong hit 45 to carry it. Nevertheless most Elevators fans rates it the best thing by the band (or indeed by anyone). The LP sold out its original pressing but was not reprinted, suggesting somewhat disappointing sales, perhaps around 10.000 copies. For some reason IA mastered it an unusually low volume, which contributes to the slightly muddy sound. The earliest run has a printing error on the back sleeve that lists "Posturos" instead of "Postures". The mono mix is an interesting experience, but clearly inferior to the hypnotic, elaborate soundscape of the stereo. The stock mono version is extremely rare and usually sells for four figures. The IA box set reissue ( also available as a standalone item) is identifiable via a matrix number that begins 'Ach...'. Again, post-1980 reissues and bootlegs too numerous to list; the crucial fact is that none of these, including those above, are from master tapes. The mixdown masters were lost in the early 1970s and have never been found. The mono mix was bootlegged in the late 1990s, all other reissues are the superior stereo mix. [PL]
