13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS - LIVE - STILL-SEALED ORIGINAL US IA-LP # 8 STEREO ALBUM (RIP: ROKY ERICKSON, LOST TO US ON MAY 31ST, 2019)
Don't know what was in the drinking water in Texas during the mid-late 60's, but some of the most original, audacious and mind-melting psych-rock ever-created came out of the INTERNATIONAL ARTIST catalog.
This is NOT a re-issue, UK, Japanese or bootleg LP - again, it's ORIGINAL.
PLEASE READ:
Later pressings from the 70's, during the petroleum crisis, were so thin and the cardboard so weak you could almost bend the records in half without breaking them. ORIGINAL pressings of the IA catalog were made to withstand nuclear attack - this LP and cover CAN NOT be bent at all - both cover + LP are thick, strong and almost unbreakable. These records weigh about 3 times what other LPS do - including all that new 180 gram stuff that's currently being made, or any of the Japanese counterparts... Also, you can spot phonies + later pressings by the way the sleeves were made - original LP'S from the 60's had the cardboard folded along the top, bottom and side - always look for folded corners to come to a triangle to be certain of it's authenticity. CLEARLY VISIBLE in my listing...
I worked in record stores as a teen starting in the early 1971, and have had this remarkable psych classic 1st LP for nearly 50 years, and it's not JUST still-sealed, it's near flawless in every way except for a very thin wrinkle in the paper on the front cover, which is visible in the last pic. Barely noticeable, and it's just from the way the front paper was glued to the cardboard sleeve...a manufacturing slip…it doesn't impact or dent the cardboard in any way; it's just a wrinkle in the paper only.. NO SPLITS IN SEAL OR LP, NO FADING, NO FUNKY, MOLDY ODORS, HOLE PUNCHES, BUMPED CORNERS, NOTHING TO DETRACT FROM ITS PSYCH GLORY.
See pics, ask questions - I'm here to assist. Plenty of pics from all sides so you can see what I mean when I call it a gem.
All items will ship boxed w/ protection - MEDIA IS $4.99, PRIORITY IS $12.99
