Product Information

Das Label International Artists konnte zwischen 1966 und 1970 einen innovativen Output im American Psychedelic- und Garage-Rock verzeichnen. Federführend waren dabei Roky Erickson’s 13th Floor Elevators, die als Speerspitze der texanischen Psychedelic- und Garagenrock- Bewegung galten.

Die Alben aus der International Artists-Reissue-Reihe erscheinen im fetten, formschönen Digi-Book inkl. 16-seitigem, reichhaltig illustriertem Booklet mit umfangreichen Linernotes und einer weltweiten Auflage von 5000 Stck.

Die insgesamt 26 Tracks auf diesem brandneuen Package kommen inkl. 4 Bonustracks die nicht mal auf der nur kurzfristig über die International Artists-Seite zu beziehenden 10CD-Box erhältlich waren. Das Original Mono Album ist hier auf CD2 nochmals als Original 1966 Stereo Mix zu hören.

Enhanced re-issue of the seminal debut album, recorded for International Artists, from the pioneering psychedelic rock group featuring ten bonus tracks.

This 2 disc edition of the band’s debut features the original mono version plus the original 1966 stereo mix in band’s intended running order. The latter is different to the alternative stereo version used on Sign of the Three Eyed Men. The set also includes five unreleased mixes which are the producer / engineer Bob Sullivan’s original stereo studio mixes.

The recordings were remastered and remixed from the original tapes in 2007 by the original producer Walt Andrus and presented in a luxury digibook limited edition of 5, 000 copies with a detailed 16 page booklet written by band expert Paul Drummond.

Laying claim to being the first psychedelic rock album and certainly the first to use the term in a title, the intensity of this classic debut album has rarely been matched. The influence it has had over the years upon everyone from The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and The Stooges through to The Spacemen Three, Julian Cope and so many of today’s young hopefuls, is testament to its magnificence.

Now available as SNAX616CD, a lavish digi-book 2-CD expanded limited edition featuring both the original mono version and a stereo edition with alternative takes and mixes. (charly. co. uk)

Rezensionen


"Eine mindblowing Mischung allerschroffsten Garagen-Rocks und zugleich große Kunst, die auf dem Debütalbum 1966 explosiv erblühte und sich bis zur Gruppenauflösung nicht entscheidend zähmen ließ. Unglaubliche Tracks wie "You`re Gonna Miss Me", "Roller Coaster", "Fire Engine" oder "Monkey Island" beweisen das nachdrücklich." (Good Times, 12 / 2010 - 01 / 2011)
