AUTHENTIC INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS PRESSING
STILL SEALED
((NEVER OPENED/NEVER PLAYED))
PSYCHEDELIC CLASSIC
The 13th Floor Elevators
LIVE
...USA - INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS - IALP #8
STILL SEALED ((Never Opened)) authentic old vintage pressing, released a few years later on the legendary International Artists label, still a scarce issue collectible recorded in 1968 ...
13th Floor Elevators were formed by lyricist Tommy Hall, a philosophy student at the University of Texas in Austin, along with three members from the local group The Lingsmen (Sutherland, Thurman, Watson) and teenage lead singer Roky Erickson - whose prior band, The Spades received local success with their hit "You're Gonna Miss Me".
Released in 1968, The 13th Floor Elevators "LIVE" is an album of cool studio out-takes with overdubbed crowd noises released whilst the Elevators were still hanging on though crumbling due to drug complications and other legal disputes. On it's own merit, it’s an enjoyable listen that features some lesser known tracks and interesting alternative takes. There is a nifty version of “She Lives”, plus their versions of “Before You Accuse Me” (a track the band often played live, no doubt dedicating it to the Texas Rangers) and “I’m Gonna Love You Too” (Erickson nails Holly’s vocal style and they also released as a 45), plus “Everybody Needs Somebody To Love” which is given a raunchy garage rock rendition and is one of the LP’s clear highlights. Other originals are classics too -- ”You Can’t Hurt Me Anymore” must have been an outtake from the first album as it’s loaded with crazed vocals, primitive sound quality, and a tremendous energy (pure mid 60s garage rock at its best). The other track, “You Gotta Take That Girl,” is more of a folk-rock ballad: an excellent one that shows a sensitive side to this great group. Live has held up very well over time. Much has been made of the Elevators in recent years. Some say they were the very first psychedelic group and their music represents the purest form of this experience. Others have acknowledged Erickson’s vocals and personality coupled with Stacey Sutherland’s acid leads as an enormous influence. If anything, this release proves the 13th Floor Elevators were a great, down-to-earth rock n roll band that knew how to have fun. Live is recommended to both the novice and experienced fan. On top of it all, the sleeve is rather spooky in an obscure private pressing kind of way!
