As I said when I started "I love the hunt!" Recently I got a call to
come look at a collection that was inherited by the son of a musician.
His father was a drummer in the Central Valley of CA and had passed
about 5 years earlier. The collection was about 1000+ records mostly
common titles in average shape. It wasn't of much interest as although
well loved by his father it was not well cared for since. Many of the
titles we very common although good musician stuff. Cream, Hendrix, Blue
Cheer, Jeff Beck, Beatles, Santana, etc. Then I came across one that
didn't quite fit with the rest. A Mono white label promo of The 13th
Floor Elevators Easter Everywhere. My eyes glazed over with psychedelic
visions of this listening to this classic gem when I got back to my
record room. Although not the perfect copy of this rare gem which in
mint shape goes for $1200+ on an average day, it was still a great find.I have posted the four pictures of the front and back cover, white promo label, and very rare inner sleeve.
Side One Track !: Slip Inside This House is an almost 8 minute
masterpiece and cornerstone of psychedelic music. I paid a fair price to
the boy in memory of his father and was on my way home straight away to
dim the lights and listen in the hallows of my rock and roll haven!
