[...]"In the mid-1970s, the International Artists revival began. Inspired by enthusiastic fans in Texas and England, as well as his personal commitment to the bands involved, Lelan Rogers decided to pick up the IA trail where he had walked off. Looking up his old Houston connections, he was able to track down master tape dubs for several – maybe all – of the twelve original IA albums, then in possession of ex-IA owner Noble Ginther. Former IA engineer Ray Rush assisted Lelan in creating new masters for the first two Elevators albums. The first outcome of this was the notorious ‘Masterfonics’ pressings – so called because of the word appearing in the dead wax of the otherwise uncredited reissues. Pressed in small runs, the ‘Masterfonics’ repros are thus actually master tape-sourced, with some IA involvement, a fact that was unknown until recently. The purpose of these two repros may have been to test the market, before a more ambitious reissue project.
Lelan aquired whatever tapes Noble Ginther had stored away in his garage, and went back to Los Angeles to organize his revived IA label. In 1978, the IA box-set was conceived, parallel to which Radar Records in England would release repros of the first two Elevators and the two Red Krayola LPs. However, technical problems plagued the reissue projects from day 1. Lelan’s assistant at the time, Gregg Turner, has described how some of their IA master tapes disintegrated in the mixing board, after which they opted for vinyl-sourcing certain albums instead. It would be useful to know exactly which masters were ruined this way, but this info is lost in the mists of time. However, listening to IA:s 1978 reissue of Easter Everywhere gives clear indication of a genuine studio tape source – it is actually superior in sound to the original 1967 vinyl pressing, a little known fact still today. Turner remembers getting most of Easter transferred before the tech problems began, but of course a recent master transfer of Easter already existed, from the preceding Masterfonics project.[...]" (From lysergia.com)
