WITH MUCH APPRECIATION TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS: If you have a question on orders received, please contact us. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied.   When leaving Feedback, please consider the following: eBay's policy on the 5-star rating system is anything less than a 5  reduces our standing with eBay and ultimately can affect our selling abilities.   SO please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.
We have a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records.   Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 2/3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers.

We mail all paid orders out once a week on Fridays/Saturdays. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule to Monday.   We strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable.  We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. Please be aware we have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.

TO OUR REPEAT CUSTOMERS: We are happy to hold orders to save on shipping. Please pay your current invoice within five days of auctions ending and, if you request, we will hold your order and reflect a shipping discount for each additional order shipped together in the same parcel.

As always, thank you for your support!

the psychedelic sounds of:

The 13th Floor Elevators

Easter Everywhere

...USA - (yellow) International Artists - IALP #5 - MONO

Scarce, clean, old 2nd pressing (not anything recent) on the yellow International Artists label in minty top condition

The mono issue offers different song mixes from the stereo release and ...has that old mono punchy production that adds suitable sound to the old garagey jams....prefer over the stereo release.

Yes, it’s time to slap on your wacky pants and prepare for a trip to transcendental central. But get ready to have your hats blown clean off as I reveal that this is a trip... OF THE MIND! Woah.

Your spiritual guides will be these gentlemen with the long hair. That’s right, the damn dirty commie hippies. Don’t fear them; love them. They’re the 13th Floor Elevators and they will be giving.

International Artists presents: EASTER EVERYWHERE....
Here’s what happens when “Slip Inside This House” kicks everything off; ‘wow, this Roky Erickson guy sounds rather intense.’ Eight minutes later, this is what happens; ‘wow, this Roky Erickson guy has been sounding intense for the past eight minutes.’ While various layers of guitar float and intertwine, Erickson drives the song along by reeling off a solid monologue of pseudo-spiritual weirdness. It’s a perfect track for drifting in and out; for gradually losing a sense of time and perspective until recollection of a key phrase or intonation reminds you that, yes, it is still playing. As a statement of intent, it could not be clearer.

Although nothing that follows quite reaches the kaleidoscopic heights of this opening magnificence, some brilliant flashes of colour still emerge. “Levitation” rattles along with a force that belies its floaty title, while spaced-out harmonies add to the druggy love vibes of “She Lives (In A Time Of Her Own)”. The acoustic-led “Dust” and “I Had To Tell You” provide gentle interludes, with subtle touches of harmonica on the latter quietly reminding us; ‘hello, yes, here we are in mid-60s hippy ballad territory ... and everything is going to be ok.’

Stand-out guitar work from Stacy Sutherland wonderfully decorates this album, providing all the necessary shades and highlights for me to stretch my painting metaphors to breaking point (I’m saving the ‘brush with destiny’ pun for a special occasion.) Sutherland should probably have passed up his chance at lead vocals, however. His voice has a kind of gentle mumbling quality to it, perhaps reminiscent of a kindly, yet slightly confused uncle, but doesn’t carry “Nobody to Love” beyond mediocrity. Yes, it’s a trip to transcendental central. Your hats have been blown clean off in this trip... OF THE MIND! ...Woah. It’s difficult to recreate the sound of an electric jug in textual form, you know. Performed a couple experiments, but neither ‘wibbawibbawibbawibba’ nor ‘flobbleobbleobbleobble’ seemed quite right....
