Mono British *VINYL* hard to find vintage issue!
The 13th Floor Elevators
Easter Everywhere
...UK - (aqua) International Artists - IALP #5 - mono
Here's a very scarce old British release of the 1967 classic Texan psychedelic monster...straight from the hallucinogenic halls of the garage, supreme. It's a rather groovy old issue of sorts and seldom seen so many years later. It's in glorious monaural, and the mono release contains different song mixes from the stereo issue and, as well, contains the big beat boom of the bassy sound production, much different from the stereo issue...
Yes, it’s time to slap on your wacky pants and prepare for a trip to transcendental central. But get ready to have your hats blown clean off as I reveal that this is a trip... OF THE MIND! Woah.
Your spiritual guides will be these gentlemen with the long hair. That’s right, the damn dirty commie hippies. Don’t fear them; love them. They’re the 13th Floor Elevators and they will be giving.
a short presentation on the merits of classic psychedelia.Here’s what happens when “Slip Inside This House” kicks everything off; ‘wow, this Roky Erickson guy sounds rather intense.’ Eight minutes later, this is what happens; ‘wow, this Roky Erickson guy has been sounding intense for the past eight minutes.’ While various layers of guitar float and intertwine, Erickson drives the song along by reeling off a solid monologue of pseudo-spiritual weirdness. It’s a perfect track for drifting in and out; for gradually losing a sense of time and perspective until recollection of a key phrase or intonation reminds you that, yes, it is still playing. As a statement of intent, it could not be clearer.
Although nothing that follows quite reaches the kaleidoscopic heights of this opening magnificence, some brilliant flashes of colour still emerge. “Levitation” rattles along with a force that belies its floaty title, while spaced-out harmonies add to the druggy love vibes of “She Lives (In A Time Of Her Own)”. The acoustic-led “Dust” and “I Had To Tell You” provide gentle interludes, with subtle touches of harmonica on the latter quietly reminding us; ‘hello, yes, here we are in mid-60s hippy ballad territory ... and everything is going to be ok.’
Stand-out guitar work from Stacy Sutherland wonderfully decorates this album, providing all the necessary shades and highlights for me to stretch my painting metaphors to breaking point (I’m saving the ‘brush with destiny’ pun for a special occasion.) Sutherland should probably have passed up his chance at lead vocals, however. His voice has a kind of gentle mumbling quality to it, perhaps reminiscent of a kindly, yet slightly confused uncle, but doesn’t carry “Nobody to Love” beyond mediocrity. Yes, it’s a trip to transcendental central. Your hats have been blown clean off in this trip... OF THE MIND! ...Woah.

It’s difficult to recreate the sound of an electric jug in textual form, you know. Performed a couple experiments, but neither ‘wibbawibbawibbawibba’ nor ‘flobbleobbleobbleobble’ seemed quite right....
