(1967)"The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators" is a 1966
album by13th Floor Elevators . The album's sound is notable for its use of the electric jug, as featured on the band's only hit, "You're Gonna Miss Me".The November 1966 album title is purported to be the first use of the word "psychedelic" in reference to the music within. However, this is in dispute as two other bands also released similarly titled LPs in November of 1966: The
Blues Magoos ' "Psychedelic Lollipop ", and The Deep's "Psychedelic Moods ".A reissue from a British reissue label, Charly, included bonus tracks of the band's performance in the San Francisco venue The Avalon, and both sides of a single from
Roky Erikson 's pre-13th Floor Elevators band, The Spades: "We Sell Soul" b/w "You're Gonna Miss Me."Track listing
