13th Floor Elevators - The Albums Collection

This 4CD set contains all four of the original 13th Floor Elevators albums' released on the International Artists label from 1966 to 1968, re-mastered and collected in a clam box with extensive new notes by band expert Paul Drummond. In addition to the stereo versions of the three 'studio' albums, which were re-mastered and remixed from the original tapes in 2007 by the original producer Walt Andrus, the set uniquely includes a completely new mix of 1968's Live album, minimising the fake applause that was originally added to the recordings , and removing glitches which blighted previous versions. All the albums also have the original running orders.`The fearless trailblazers of psychedelia and one of the most kick-ass rock bands ever... For two or so years they burned with a flame so fierce that 40 years on they still remain an inspiration' -- Mojo
