Before The 13th Floor Elevators went into the studio to record their now classic 'Psychedelic Sounds...' album, they'd already recorded enough songs for an album for Contact Records, which was to be entitled 'Headstone'. The songs were laid down during sessions in January and February 1966, but the deal fell through and the album was never released. When they reconvened to tape 'Psychedelic Sounds...' they only reused about half of the songs they'd previously taped, and so this album contains some great previously unreleased songs, as well as different versions of the ones they re-recorded, and also a rare acetate of 'Reverberation'. The 13th Floor Elevators were one of the best ever US garage bands of the 60's, and so any new material from their early days has to be worth hearing, and this album certainly falls into that category.
