Description
Artist: The Moving Sidewalks Album: 99th Floor Release: EVA 12002
vinyl: vg (periodic crackling, minor pops due to some scratches but not overwhelming) cover: nm (near mint, beautiful condition)
Upon first glance the record looks clean but a bright light reveals some scratches that are occasionally audible.
Black and white cover variant.
First pressing
All songs recorded 1966 to 1968.
Hard to find rarity issued in France in 1982. It features not only the legendary 1968 album "Flash", but includes all 3 singles A's & B's, making a devastating hard psychedelic LP from the future ZZ TOP crew.
This is the much more rare first issue B&W cover that was quickly re-designed in yellow & black format.
The Moving Sidewalks, many of you know, were lacing it up with psychedelics & Jimi Hendrix stylings.
This Houston band's "99th Floor," initially brought to light on Pebbles, Vol. 2, is one of the greatest mid-60s garage rockers of all time. The band's sole LP, from 1968, is definitely the psychedelic rock dreams are made of. Moving Sidewalks guitarist Billy Gibbons could certainly play at this point. Gibbons admiration of Jimi Hendrix is played out on "Pluto-Sept. 31st," with an Experience-like riffing rhythm section and a studio freakout in the middle. The backward vocal of "Eclipse" is quite compelling (though the Zappa/Red Crayola-style production might harsh on your trip), and "Joe Blues" gives an indication of where Gibbons would be heading next. Other highlights (everywhere) include: "What Are You Doing to Do," "Every Night a New Surprise," the Elevators styled "Need Me" (complete with Roky styled wail), and a reverb drenched take on The Beatles "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
