(S3-25) The 13th Floor Elevators - The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators (International Artists Label) Released October 17, 1966, Recorded between January 3rd and October 11, 1966  Formed in Austin, Texas, in December 1965, the 13th Floor Elevators were pivotal in the psychedelic rock movement. Their debut album, The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators (1966), is noted as one of the first to describe its music as "psychedelic." Featuring the hit single "You're Gonna Miss Me," the album blended raw garage rock with folk blues and surreal elements. Roky Erickson's gritty vocals, Stacy Sutherland's reverb-drenched guitar, and Tommy Hall's electric jug playing created a distinctive sound that influenced many future musicians. Despite commercial challenges and internal struggles, the band's innovative approach significantly impacted the evolution of rock music, helping shift it from pop roots to a more artistic expression.
