13th Floor Elevators / Easter Everywhere
(Vinyl LP – International Artists)
180 gram exact repro reissue of their 2nd album, originally released in 1967. “The Elevators’ second album, Easter Everywhere showed the band’s progression light years away from their first one but a year earlier. Indeed, they had transmuted beyond their Lightnin’ Hopkins’n’Hooker heated acid blues; delving further inward to the cosmic eye, mind and beyond. Easter Everywhere is an album that exhibits group chemistry at its ultimate unification. The Elevators had already arrived at a place where they had the songs, lyrics AND feel to animate both into a consciousness-delving manner, but now they took their explorations even further out and beyond the crust, the mantle and the white-hot core of the psychedelic experience into a place where existence can be seen as an eternal dance: a play between time and space, of push and pull (it’s hard to describe without using the language it demands, but here goes) of the whole exchange of thingy-inny to thingy-outty and all that implies?of the spaces between yourself and your existence, as the rollicking rhythm that is life steams full on ahead into the future. A broader expanse was never mapped out by a rock’n’roll band of its time.” — The Seth Man/HEAD HERITAGE.
13th Floor Elevators / Live At The Avalon Ballroom (Sept. 2, 1966)
(Vinyl LP – Lysergic Record Co.)
Mind blowing recording by the amazing 13th Floor Elevators at their peak, live at San Francisco’s Avalon Ballroom in 1966. With a good, raw and powerful sound, a kick ass set composed of Elevators classics and some great covers, and a band absolutely on fire, one can safely say this is the best live recording by the 13th Floor Elevators. A perfect testament to the greatness of Roky Erickson and his Elevators, one of the best psychedelic bands to ever walk this planet..
