13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS
Easter Everywhere & Bull of the Woods

The programme of re-presenting the 13th Floor Elevators’ catalogue in luxury digibook editions continues with the releases of Easter Everywhere and Bull of the Woods.

The 2-CD package of Easter Everywhere includes both mono and the original stereo versions of what many consider to be their definitive album and received no less than a 5 star review in Mojo. It features a booklet with extracts from the award-winning Sign of the Three Eyed Men box set.

To celebrate this release we have produced some heavy duty official Easter Everywhere T-shirts, available only from the IA website. These are available to buy separately or in a specially-priced bundle with the CD.

Alongside this we conclude the digibook series with a 2-CD special edition combining the Bull of the Woods album from 1968 with A Love That’s Sound, a recreation of the band’s unfinished lost third album, again using material from the Three Eyed Men boxset.

This is available separately or in a specially-priced bundle with Easter Everywhere.

The Future

After demand for the Sign of the Three Eyed Men CD box set was so great we have been resisting constant pressures both to press more copies and to release separately the three discs of rarer material in the set. However due to the many requests from fans we are now working to produce in late spring/early summer a definitive strictly-limited 13th Floor Elevators vinyl box set with eight discs and other unique content. Further details will follow soon but be ready as the CD set sold out very quickly and now circulates at ridiculous prices.

To round off the Elevators’ IA catalogue on CD we will also be releasing in May a mid-price clambox set The Albums Collection for purists, featuring just the four original IA albums with the original running orders. This will included a newly re-mastered and edited version of the so-called Live album on which the fake applause has been reduced to an absolute minimum.

Finally to demonstrate that IA was much more than the Elevators, the late spring will also see new versions of the two ground-breaking Red Crayola albums. Pete Kember, AKA Sonic Boom, the former member of Spaceman 3 and producer of MGMT has remastered both The Parable of Arable Land and God Bless the Red Krayola and these will be available in luxury digibook editions with extensive booklets written by Paul Drummond. Both utilise the original master tapes and ‘Parable’ comes in a version with both mono and stereo versions and bonus tracks.

Limited edition International Artists singles for Record Store Day

13th Floor Elevators & Red Crayola 7"s available from independent record shops on April 16th 2011

Since its formation in 2007 Record Store Day has quickly grown into an annual worldwide celebration of independent record shops and the unique culture that exists around these important institutions.

In 2010 over 1,400 stores took part, many of which reported record sales and queues round the block throughout the day as fans and collectors flocked to snap up the limited edition releases that were on sale in the shops. This year's Record Store Day takes place on Saturday April 16th and again the day will be marked with special instore performances and a host of incredible release and two of these will be from IA.

Wait For My Love is the Elevators 'lost' sixth single, which was originally planned as a single in 1968 but never released. The 7" will be pressed on green vinyl with May The Circle Remain Unbroken on the b-side. The versions of the tracks on the single differ from those previously released as they have been re-mastered by Sonic Boom (Spacemen Three). Sonic Boom, who recently produced albums for MGMT and Panda Bear, has also re-mastered the Red Crayola single. The A-side is an exclusive remix of the track Hurricane Fighter Plane done for this release while b-side is taken from forthcoming 2CD deluxe edition of the Parable Of Arable Land album.

Both singles are limited to 2000 copies worldwide and will be packaged in International Artists’ house bags. Please note that these singles will only be available in the retail stores that are participating in Record Store Day.
