...From International Artists Records 1965-1970. Outstanding package documenting the history of the world's greatest psychedelic label, packaged in a deluxe box with 48-page book edited by Jon Mills (including contributions from Patrick Lundberg & Jon Savage's old Lelan Rogers interview reproduced).

This 3CD set collects classic tracks from the label's flagship acts like The 13th Floor Elevators, The Red Crayola, The Bubble Puppy and Golden Dawn alongside a host of sought-after lesser known gems from the likes of Thursday's Children, The Chaynes, The Rubayaat, Sterling Damon and The Shayds. Quite a number of these tracks are here making their CD debut, several not having seen the light of since their first release forty years ago."

Title:	Easter Everywhere
Label:	CHARLY (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SNAP 132CD

2003 reissue. "This enhanced re-issue includes ten highly desirable bonus tracks in the form of live versions of eight songs from the group's debut album, recorded in Texas and San Francisco, an instrumental version of 'Levitation,' as well as a previously unreleased studio gem, 'I Don't Ever Want To Come Down.' One of the pioneer psychedelic groups of the '60s, The 13th Floor Elevators released four remarkable albums on the highly-regarded Texan label, International Artists. Fronted by the legendary and truly eccentric visionary Roky Erickson, the group has enjoyed sizeable cult status ever since their ground-breaking single, 'You're Gonna Miss Me' made the U.S. charts in 1966. Their first two albums are widely recognized as being landmarks of their era. The group's second album for International Artists, 1967's Easter Everywhere is essentially an extension of the sound of their debut album. Another bona fide psychedelic classic, its standout tracks include the eight minute epic 'Slip Inside This House' and an inspired cover of Bob Dylan's '(It's All Over Now) Baby Blue.'"

Title:	Bull of the Woods
Label:	CHARLY (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SNAP 201CD

2004 UK version of the classic 3rd album, originally issued in 1969. "Classic final studio album now featuring 10 bonus tracks. Generally recognized as being one of the pioneer psychedelic groups of the '60s, The 13th Floor Elevators released four seminal albums on the highly-regarded Texan label, International Artists between 1966 and 1969. Leader Roky Erickson's involvement in the recording sessions for Bull of the Woods, the group's final studio album, was somewhat curtailed owing to his being sidelined by his increasing drug and legal problems. The group's guitarist Stacy Sutherland however, proved more than an able deputy for Roky and wrote most of the songs. The resulting album remains as another memorable slice of psychedelia. Roky's two contributions, the reverb-drenched 'May The Circle Remain Unbroken' and 'Never Another' along with 'Doctor Doom' are album highlights. This re-issue includes 10 bonus tracks. These include four outtakes from the Bull of the Woods sessions and includes a sublime acoustic reading of 'Splash 1,' one of the standout tracks from the group's debut album. The five 'live' titles are taken from the group's Live album, and are in fact studio recordings with overdubbed audience effects. As with last year's enhanced reissue of the group's other classic album, Easter Everywhere, the attractive digipak packaging faithfully reproduces the original artwork and includes an illustrated booklet with detailed sleeve notes."

Title:	Going Up: The Very Best Of The 13th Floor Elevators
Label:	CHARLY (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SNAP 211CD

2004 release, single CD best-of collection. "The 20 greatest mind-blowing highlights recorded for the International Artists label between 1966 and 1969 by the pioneering psychedelic rock group. Featuring the groundbreaking single, 'You're Gonna Miss Me,' other classics such as 'Fire Engine,' 'Slip Inside This House' and 'May The Circle Remain Unbroken,' plus the recently discovered nugget 'I Don't Ever Want To Come Down' and a manic version of Van Morrison's garage classic, 'Gloria.' Fronted by the truly eccentric and iconic Roky Erickson, The 13th Floor Elevators produced some of the most inventive and memorable music of the era. Their often-menacing drug-fuelled songs with a potent combination of R&B, folk-rock and Kinks/Stones punk and stoned lyrics based on a nihilistic hippy philosophy have brought them cult status ever since."

Title:	The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators
Label:	CHARLY (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SNAP 225CD

2005 edition. "Fronted by the truly eccentric and iconic Roky Erickson, The 13th Floor Elevators produced some of the most inventive and memorable music of the era. The intensity of this classic debut album has been rarely 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. Released in 1966 on the highly-regarded Texan label, International Artists, it lays claim to being the first psychedelic rock album and was certainly the first to use the term in a title. As well as the group's groundbreaking hit single, 'You're Gonna Miss Me,' it includes several other classics of the genre, such as 'Reverberation (Doubt)' and 'Fire Engine.' This enhanced re-issue includes ten bonus tracks. Eight of these are atmospheric live recordings from the era -- they vividly capture the heady atmosphere of the group's early gigs. These include their psychedelic takes on such '60s classics as 'The Word' and 'Gloria.' The two other bonus tracks are both sides of the single Roky made with his earlier group, The Spades -- his initial stab at 'You're Gonna Miss Me.' As with our earlier enhanced reissues of the group's Easter Everywhere and Bull Of The Woods albums, the attractive digipak packaging faithfully reproduces the original artwork, in this case, one of the most famous album images of the '60s. As well as new and authoritative updated notes, the accompanying illustrated booklet reproduces in full the original album's famed and truly off-the-wall introduction and individual track notes."

Title:	At The Family Dog Ballroom
Label:	CHARLY (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SNAP 293CD

2007 release. "Recorded in September 1969 when the group was at the peak of its considerable power. Only recently unearthed from the archives, this release is sure to be most welcomed by all fans of prime West Coast psychedelia from one of its finest exponents. It is arguably the finest of the three in terms of the inspired performances here, the featured songs, and the fact that it has remained virtually unheard for so long. It features the classic group line-up of Paul Kantner (guitar, vocals), Grace Slick (vocals), Marty Balin (vocals), Jorma (lead guitar, vocal), Jack Casady (bass) and Spencer Dryden (drums). For the closing 26-minute 'Jam' they are joined by the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia, whose distinctive guitar sound adds a new and unique dimension to the group's sound. 'Come Back Baby,' never recorded by the group in the studio, features a rare lead vocal from Jorma Kaukonen. Old favorites 'Crown Of Creation' and 'Somebody To Love,' along with five new numbers from their forthcoming studio album Volunteers make this a must-have release for fans, old and new alike. Taken from the best available audio sources, these superb performances have been meticulously restored for this inaugural release."
