Item ID: 239432

The twenty greatest mind-blowing highlights recorded for the International Artists label between 1966 and 1969 by the pioneering psychedelic rock group. Featuring the groundbreaking single, 'You're Gonna Miss Me', other classics such as Fire Engine, Slip Inside This House and 'May The Circle Remain Unbroken' plus the recently discovered nugget I Dont Ever Want To Come Down and a manic version of Van Morrisons garage classic, Gloria. Fronted by the truly eccentric and iconic Roky Erickson, The 13th Floor Elevators produced some of the most inventive and memorable music of the era. Their often-menacing drug-fuelled songs with a potent combination of R&B, folk-rock and Kinks/Stones punk and stoned lyrics based on a nihilistic hippy philosophy have brought them cult status ever since.
