5 out of 5 stars thirteenth floor elevators.......2006-11-03

the original phsychedelic sounds of the time . pre the dead . rocky erickson screams and the jug rocks. you must hear it!

3 out of 5 stars Glimpses of a great album but sound quality is terrible.......2006-10-26

As a fan of psychadelic music I was repeatedly told I had to get this cd. Listening to it you can get a sense of why this album gets this hype but frankly the sound quality is so poor you really have to make an effor to try to appreciate it. Again there are glimpes of great garage/psychadelia and the use of the jug is cool and different.

I would not buy it until someone actually makes an effort to put forward a version that sounds good. Even if the original tapes are terrible I find it hard to believe that they could not have done more with this. This is possibly a five star album but I can't tell for sure due to the sound.

2 out of 5 stars Greatest psych album ever?.......2006-04-26

I'm afraid not. I hate to be a dissenter, but "Psychedelic Sounds" is quite simply run-of-the-mill 60s garage rock. Some of the tracks are noteworthy (You're Gonna Miss Me), others, however, are unlistenable. How much the sound quality (which is horrible) plays into this is hard to determine.

5 out of 5 stars ALL THESE CRITICS!.......2006-01-19

I WAS THERE..HOUSTON/LOVE ST.LITE CIRCUS/THE CATACOMBS...ELEVATORS AND THAT SIGNITURE "wicketie"SOUND THATS ON MANY SONGS LIKE ROLLERCOASTER...WHO NEEDED SAN FRANCISCO...ROKY AND THE ELEVATORS CONSISTANTLY DID THEIR 20 MINUTE FREAK OUT...WITH BOLD NEW SOUNDS NO ONE HAD EVER HEARD ,,OR HAS SINCE...SLIP INSIDE THIS HOUSE WAS PROPHETIC ANDFULL OF IMAGERY...AND I STILL LISTEN TO SPLASH ONE TODAY..".DON'T PASS IT BY"

5 out of 5 stars Five stars for the music not the recording.......2005-08-08

I had the pleasure to grow up in the years when the Elevators performed and lived just down the street from Andrus Studios where Easter Everywhere was recorded.

There is a tribute band in Austin called The Tommy Hall Schedule that does a superb tribute to the Elevators music with state of the art recording quality. I would recommend any Elevators fan getting their cd at their website, www.tommyhallschedule.com. Don't judge the cd quality by the live downloads at their site, though.

I love the 13th floor elevators but the descritpion specifies this is a 3 disc CD set when there actually only is one CD.

5 out of 5 stars Deluxe reissue of psych classic.......2005-09-06

The Elevators' catalog has had some rough treatment over the years. There are several CD versions of this album on the market, including a U.S. reissue from Collectables that's gotten bad marks for its fidelity, and several imports. This latest is from Snapper's Charly label out of the UK, and in addition to the album's original eleven tracks, it includes eight live tracks (all but two from an oft-issued Avalon Ballroom performance), and both sides of the pre-Elevators' single by The Spades.

The album tracks sound about as good as they're likely to get, given that the original master tapes were lost some time ago, and the bonuses, likewise sound similar to other issues. This is an excellent 70-minute package, fleshing out the classic original album with a host of live covers ("Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" "Before You Accuse Me" "I'm Gonna Love You Too" "You Really Got Me" "Roll Over Beethoven" "The Word" "Gloria"), one live original ("She Lives (In a Time of Her Own)"), and Roky Erickson's originals of "We Sell Soul" and "You're Gonna Miss Me."

Digipack reproductions of the original album art are sharp but small enough to be virtually unreadable. Luckily the enclosed booklet reproduces the album's back cover notes, and includes new liners from Jon "Mojo" Mills along with several period photos. 21 tracks on a single disc - a great buy!

Forget about San Francisco: The American capitol of psychedelic rock was Austin, Texas, and no band soared higher than Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators. In addition to acid-tinged garage rockers such as the crazed-love anthem, "You're Gonna Miss Me," the Elevators' debut included tracks such as "Reverberation (Doubt)," "Roller Coaster," and "Splash 1," which viscerally evoked the sounds of their titles while offering lyrics that provided a philosophical structure for the psychedelic experience. The lyrics were written by Tommy Hall, who also played amplified jug. Hard as it may be to believe now, that jug created a weird sound that predicted that burbling synthesizers of modern-day techno. --Jim Derogatis

5 out of 5 stars Goin' Up!.......2007-07-23

'Frisco was cool and all, but anyone who knows anything knows that the true birthplace of psychedelia was Austin, Texas, home of the fab-tacular 13th Floor Elevators. In its prime, this band of inspired weirdos recorded some of the most superbly deranged rock 'n' roll of all time, cranking out song after song of mutant, LSD-charred garage rock. Released in 1966, the Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators is the group's debut, a collection of heroically whacked-out tunes that are nothing less than the budding seeds of a movement.

What's most surprising about this album (and the band, really) is how they manage to sound truly trippy and wonderfully weird without astronomical production values or even a surplus of technical skill. They really were a garage band, with all of the usual trappings of such a group: Their songs were rooted in basic, grease-coated rock n roll, complete with chunky guitar riffs (courtesy of Stacy Sutherland) and snarled vocals (thanks to wildman lead singer Roky Erickson, one of the great unheralded heroes of 60s rock). They just took things a little further than most bands: Their lyrics were pure gonzo poetry, heavy with mysticism and druggy imagery (and accented, of course, with a healthy dose of good old fashioned teenage bad attitude). The guitar chords are at the mercy of Sutherland's effects pedal, and there are plenty of acid-soaked solos flying around all over the place. Riffs and melodies are perched somewhere between blues-based garage punk and dream-addled death dirge. The most notable experimental flourish is Tommy Hall's "electric jug," a bizarre rhythmic instrument that garnishes several of these songs. It's hard to describe the sound of the instrumrent, but suffice to say it can be compared to the protestations of a series of uncooperative suction cups. Just listen to some of these songs! "You're Gonna Miss Me" is a deranged slice of teenage snarl with a meaner-than-mean guitar line and a meaner-than-meaner-than-mean vocal, with Hall's jug floating menacingly in the background. "Roller Coaster" is an "epic" (over FOUR MINUTES!) mindbender with an absolutely archetypal guitar drone and a ghostly vocal from Erickson. "Don't Fall Down," with its chugging bass line and woozy backing vocals, is out-and-out hypnotic, and "Fire Engine" moves into full-on rock out territory.

The result is a wigged-out classic that bridges the gap between rock and the world beyond. It's the sound of a bunch of zitfaced teenagers formerly obsessed with cheeseburgers 'n' fast cars stumbling upon the myrsteries of the universe. It's the sound of the 60s lurching into overdrive. It's the psychedelic sound, baby!

5 out of 5 stars Best Psychadelic Group Ever.......2006-11-10

The powerful yet simple guitar and the novel sounding jug provide the perfect backdrop fop Roky Ericson's erie and melancholy voice spouting lyrics that resonate to this day. Way before their time and a nice blast from the past for me. I remember seeing them while still in high school at various venues around Houston. Good then, good now.

2 out of 5 stars Annoying Dissapointment.......2006-10-20

I waited 20 years since hearing "You're Gonna Miss Me" to finally say "What A Dissapointment" Mind you it's still better than when Roky recorded it with The Spades, but it was ruined with Roky's wailing, and the god-awful harmonica. Roky didn't need to wail like he did his vocals were enough to get my attention his words were enough to get my attention, and now his wailing that tormented me as a teenager/young adult now have come to haunt my middle age in the form of a Dell commercial. The next song "Roller Coaster" is somewhat decent, and also "Don't Look Down", "You Don't Know" is probably the strongest song on here. The rest is either forgettable, or just terrible. I was disappointed with this as it was a interesting piece of music, but lack of strong songs, and unecessary wailing just made this a annoying album, and gives me a headache. You see with me psychedelic is where you make your guitar do all kinds of fuzzy/wah-wah, or make it sound like sitar. The harmonica has no place in psychedelia as far as I'm concerned. There's no need for it; I would figure any rational thinking person would not be tripping out on the sound of a harmonica, so don't do that.

2 out of 5 stars Rolling Stones from Texas.......2006-07-22

This is true mistake, this band is just boring Rolling Stones clone (think about Aftermath album) and nothing else. Nothing special psychedelic in the music too. Try to Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd to hear what pychedelia is. Or "Revolver" by Beatles.

While the written description of this product says it is the version on Spalax (considered the best-sounding version), the image, when enlarged, quite clearly carries the Charly brand. Since the release date is 2002 (much later than the original Charly release date), I suppose Charly may have licensed the better master from Spalax; however, since I don't know that for a fact, I can't see risking a purchase.

      While it is true that some of the band's later recordings are rather weak efforts, this album is undisputedly one of the best albums of the psychedelic era. It's perplexing why this album and this band are not better known. It's definitely worth buying if you're a fan of the music of the psychedelic era.

      Spalax is a French CD manufacturer, and the French devotion to things American comes through loud & clear on this, the BEST SOUNDING version of this CD available anywhere in the world. If you (sadly) bought the "Collectables" Label's versions of the Elevators CD's, and you thought they sounded like garbage--YOU WERE RIGHT. *These* are the CDs you wanted: Spalax's CDs sound as good as we're likely to EVER hear, seeing as how the Elevators Record Company, International Artists, somehow *lost* the Master Tapes to ALL the Elevator's LPs sometime back in the late 1970's.
