It's a fantastic artefact, a real treat for the eyes and ears.
Ya! Pretty cool. I have the box with 67 tracks but this new release trumps it!

The guy who put it together also wrote the book 'Eye Mind' which is the story of the elevators, a real roller coaster of a tale.
It's obviously a real labour of love for him, beautifully put together and peerless in the level of research that's gone into it.
It would be cool if there were something of this ilk for Love.
One of my favourite bands though, so I supposed I am not completely objective. |

I think 13th Floor fans are as objective as Love fans.....they are the BEST!!  And quite a story, ripe for a great film bio/drama, but please NOT like the DOORS movie!

I am a fan of 13th Floor Elevators, Easter Everywhere is my fave album by them,  I have the DVD 'Your Gonna Miss Me' which is the Documentary on Roky Erickson, got to see Roky Erickson play live in London at The Royal Festival Hall in 2007 and he was excellent, he is back in England for a couple of shows in August but I won't be able to make the gigs this time round,
