The Texan Psych Legends 'Lost' Live Album from 1967 - First-Ever Mono Mix
Originally intended as the bands second LP
Exclusive Record Store Day 2025 Transparent Blue with Black Smoke Vinyl
The 13th Floor Elevators' 1967 Live Album
finally debuts in its first-ever mono mix
Initially envisioned as the bands second LP, slated for
release in spring 1967 but never officially issued, this
album now makes its long-awaited debut in a
meticulously restored first-ever mono mix, true to its
intended form.
Recorded on February 18, 1967, at the ultra-modern
Houston Music Theatre, this show was captured
shortly after the band's groundbreaking California tour.
Fittingly, it also marks the final appearance of the
bands classic lineup, featuring Ronnie Leatherman
and John Ike Walton as the rhythm section.
The 13th Floor Elevators, led by Roky Ericksons
blistering vocals and Tommy Halls otherworldly
electric jug, were at their prime, and this performance
cemented their status as iconic figures of the
psychedelic sound. Highlights of Live Houston Music
Theatre 67 include fiery renditions of the bands
signature tracks such as You're Gonna Miss Me and
Reverberation, showcasing the wild intensity of their
unique sound.
This album has been mixed, edited, and mastered to
authentically recreate the mono live experience as
intended for its spring 1967 release
