Psychedelic Sounds

1966 DEBUT ALBUM BY TEXAN PIONEERS OF PSYCHEDELIA. Presenting the hit singles ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me’ and ‘Reverberation’.

This groundbreaking album not only defined psychedelic rock but also informed punk a decade later, influencing everyone from Led Zeppelin to The Cramps. Originally issued in November 1966, this album has continued to gain worldwide recognition as the first bona fide psychedelic rock album.

This is a facsimile edition of the original mono mix, a faithful reproduction of what was pressed in 1966. It represents the authentic sound and transformative power of The Psychedelic Sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators.

The mono pressing is highly prized for its uncompromising solid-sounding mix. Meticulous attention to detail has gone into this reissue and the digitization to ensure every detailed nuance was preserved. A 96kHz-24bit pass, using a valve signal at minus ten decibels (to eliminate turntable rumble), was conducted several times to gauge the best results. No attempt was made to rebalance or EQ. A half-speed master was then cut at Air Mastering, and a test pressing was then dubbed using the same process and the dynamic range compared against the original pressing. The result was a better sound pressing than the original!
