From International Artists, this is  MUSIC OF THE SPHERES  by  THE 13th FLOOR ELEVATORS, a beautiful New box set released September 13, 2011; it is still SEALED in heavy shrink-wrap and packed securely so the contents won't rattle around during travel. This is a rare piece in that it is one of the first 20 pressed (only the first 20 were sealed in heavy shrink). In this case the thick box and packing protect the vinyl from heat. All LPs & EPs are near-200 grams of high density, high definition virgin vinyl in glossy replica jackets.

The Contents:

1. 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 .
2. A 2-LP gatefold sleeve edition of The Psychedelic Sounds of, remastered from the original tape source. Album one is the mono edition; album two, a remastered version of the original stereo mix and thus different from the version on Sign of the Three Eyed Men. This is the first vinyl reissue from tape sources of the stereo editions of Easter Everywhere and Bull of the Woods for over three decades. Album two is the first ever vinyl pressing of the album in the band’s intended running order.
3. A 2-LP gatefold sleeve edition of Easter Everywhere, mastered from the 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.
   
4. 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 before heard version of Some Day My Love, the song originally scheduled as the band’s 6th single
5. The first ever vinyl release of the band’s unreleased first album Headstone.
6. The first official vinyl release of Live in California-The Avalon Recordings
7. The Sumet Sounds Masters EP, a six track 10 inch 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, previously available only on the long-sold-out Sign of the 3 Eyed Men CD box set .
