An unimpeachable classic of psych rock, The 13th Floor Elevators’ first album The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators was released in late 1966. Noted for the unusual prominence of the electric jug in the mix, Roky Erickson and his bandmates on this debut forged a pioneering blend of folk, blues, garage rock and psychedelia that has proved influential on generations of subsequent artists, with their hit single ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me’ cropping up on the legendary Nuggets compilation.
