Finally Found: The MONO Psychedelic Sounds of 13th Floor Elevators!

Picked up the early mono reissue of "The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators" from January 1967 - a genuine gem.

This album, originally released in November 1966, has been a grail for me, and finding it feels surreal! #vinylfinds #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #vinyl #vinylrecords
In this video, not only do I show this treasure, but I also dive into my personal connection with the Elevators and the legendary Roky Erickson. From naming my dog after Roky to unforgettable live performances, this journey has been nothing short of psychedelic. Plus, I share a peek into other collectibles from International Artists label, showcasing my obsession with vinyl records that tell a story.

- My Roky Erickson bootlegs collection video for those who crave more.

I saw Roky at Seattle Bumbershoot in 2007. Glad you were the one to get that album.

[@VinylPiper]

I miss Bumbershoot.. I saw Pearl Jam there in '91 as well as some many other bands.. Lot's of bands at Bite of Seattle too. Did you see the Roky documentary you're gonna miss me?? Sad but interesting..

[@harrysmusicroom]

@@VinylPiper I did see the documentary, it was sad.

Your collection is amazing, the cover art behind you is an art gallery.

[@Wyoming_Dave]

very cool album!! if i ever find it id get it for myself for sure!

[@VinylPiper]

Hey Dave, for sure pick it up. The reissues from the past couple years aren't bad at all, way better than before then.

[@Hey__Joe]

Do you prefer the mono or stereo?

[@VinylPiper]

Hey Joe.. for 95% of psych stuff I prefer stereo.. I think I prefer this mono.. especially with the song Roller Coaster.. much better..
