Easter Everywhere13th Floor ElevatorsGenre: Holiday & WeddingDescription: 1967 second studio album by the Texan pioneers of psychedelia. This groundbreaking album not only defined psychedelic rock but also influenced punk a decade later and the 90's indie-dance music scene with Primal Scream’s cover of ‘Slip Inside This House’ on their classic Screamadelica LP. Originally issued in November 1967 copies barely trickled out of Texas making original pressings not only expensive but also nearly impossible to find in clean condition even 50 years ago. Therefore meticulous attention to detail has gone into this reissue to achieve a facsimile edition faithful to the original stereo pressing as issued by the International Artists Recording Corp. If Psychedelic Sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators was the first bona fide psychedelic album then the band surpassed themselves with what is critically regarded as the masterpiece of psychedelia. 96kHz-24bit transfers were made from an original pressing of the LP and a mixed master tape. When overlaid the audio matched authenticating the tape’s provenance as an original cutting master. The number of processes from tape to lacquer were limited to an absolute minimum. No attempt was made to rebalance or EQ. A half-speed master was then cut at Air Mastering and a test pressing was then dubbed using the same process and the dynamic range compared against the original pressing. The result was a better sounding pressing than the original! An expanded LP/CD boxset dedicated to Easter Everywhere will be released as part of the Quest For Pure Sanity series. This will include every known permutation of the music on this LP – mono stereo alternative mixes 45rpm mixes and outtakes.
