Trailblazers The 13th Floor Elevators released the first ?psychedelic? rock album in America, transforming culture throughout the 1960s and beyond. The band were formed in late 1965 in a small town in Texas by electric jug playing Tommy Hall, guitarist \u0026amp; vocalist Roky Erickson and guitarist Stacy Sutherland. They were joined by bass player Benny Thurman, and drummer John Ike Walton. This was a time where Baptist and Mormon preachers fought for the population's spiritual wellbeing, Country \u0026amp; Western music filled the bars on Saturday nights, yet out of these conflicting extremes, the Elevators were born and began making a name for themselves in the burgeoning music scene in Austin, Texas. This two CD media-book edition catches the band with its classic line-up before the release of ?Easter Everywhere? and is the only known complete recording of a 13th Floor Elevators? gig. Compiled and curated by band expert Paul Drummond, who also contributes extensive liner notes and mastered by Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3), this release also includes one tape reel unheard for over forty-five years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56446280040822,"sku":"5060767440087","price":19.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_8499321_jpg.jpg?v=1760432784","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/5060767440087-live-evolution-lost-mediabook","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
