13th Floor Elevators favourites

 

Spotify playlist of 47 minutes here. I like pretty much all of their recordings but this was intended to be short. 

Fire Engine 13th floor Elevators 1966

 Here for one of their greatest songs. Band wiki. I like psychedelic music but I don't like Pink Floyd. New label Elevators. 

My brother bought me the ace book The 13th Floor Elevators a visual guide by Paul Drummond. It is a must for fans. The above pic is just one page of a gig in 1966. 

13th floor elevators - She Lives (In a time of her own) 1967

 

Here. I think I first heard the Elevators in 1978 when Radar records reissued the first two albums. I think there was a flexi disc given away with ZigZag magazine.
