13th Floor Elevators - Tried To Hide 1966

 Love this version.

from The 13th Floor Elevators - Wikipedia

In early January 1966, producer Gordon Bynum brought the band to Houston to record two songs to release as a single on his newly formed Contact record label. The songs were Erickson's "You're Gonna Miss Me", and Hall-Sutherland's "Tried to Hide". Some months later, the International Artists label picked it up and re-released it.
