Still sealed Disk  |  NM cover  (w/two small pieces of shrink wrap missing)   This is the last of the real thing from International Artists.  The label from Texas who recorded groups like the 13th Floor Elevators, Red Krayola, & Bubble Puppy.  This has been in my collection since the mid 70's and apologies for the no return policy on Sealed copies (but I vouch for this one, since I owned at one time SS copies of all 12 of the original IA lps).

[ As you've probably discovered, I only list NM or VG+ disks and VG cover or better (unless the lp has social, cultural, or historical value).  Grading is visual and conservative.  All lps are original and from my personal collection.  Most have not been played since the first month of buying them, so they'll be very little wear to the lp & cover.  All disks will be clear plastic sleeve covered and mailed in a professional, cardboard mailer with additional cardboard if needed & media mailed that day.  If curious about any other lps let me know your wants, I have a few thousand here and I can't take them with me. ]

International Artists (IA) was an independent record label based in Houston, Texas that originally existed from 1965 to 1970.

During its existence IA released 12 albums and 39 singles and was owned by a group of businessmen in Houston. Among its staff were producer Lelan Rogers, brother of country singer Kenny Rogers. The label is famous for its roster of well-known Texas psychedelic rock bands, including The 13th Floor Elevators, The Red Crayola and Bubble Puppy, as well as lesser known bands such as The Golden Dawn, Lost And Found and Endle St. Cloud. International Artists also released an album by blues guitarist Lightnin' Hopkins that featured session work by the 13th Floor Elevators' rhythm section.   The label originally folded in 1971.       (Wikipedia)

INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS from Houston, Texas is probably the most famous regional record label of the 1960s. Among record collectors and fans of the esoteric, I A has been on the map for many decades, and the legend shows no signs of fading. From the initial burst of cult excitement in the mid-1970s, interest has persisted and expanded, so that the spotlight now falls on a wider circle than the two pyramids of weirdness that first drew people to I A; Red Krayola and the 13th Floor Elevators. Today one may hear once obscure I A bands like the Golden Dawn and Thursday's Children being spoken of in an equally reverential manner as the Elevators and the Krayola. There is something enigmatic in I A that keeps attracting new generations of admirers.
