{"product_id":"epitaph-for-a-legend-single-disc","title":"Epitaph for a Legend [Single Disc]","description":"Performers include: The Patterns, Sonny Hally, 13th Floor Elevators.\u003cbr\u003eThis release features a special gatefold LP-style CD sleeve.\u003cbr\u003eThe Texas-based International Artists label recorded some intriguing, slightly off-the-wall psychedelic-garage-pop in the 1960s, their most famous act being the 13th Floor Elevators. This is an erratic but extremely interesting double-LP compilation of IA oddities and rarities, much of it previously unreleased. The five Red Krayola demos (some of which would be re-recorded for their first LP) are prime acid folk, especially \"Hurricane Fighter Plane,\" one of the closest American approximations of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd. The Chapparrals' \"I Tried So Hard\" is gutsy punk-pop, Thursday's Children's \"A Part of You\" is reminiscent of the mid-period Zombies, and the Emperors' \"I Want My Woman\" is growling garage punk. Side four is devoted entirely to 13th Floor Elevators\/Roky Erickson rarities, including a beautiful acoustic version of \"Splash I\" and the rare single by Roky's pre-Elevators group the Spades. In this company, side three -- which has unexceptional straight blues material, including a song by Lightnin' Hopkins -- is a misfit, but psychedelic collectors will want the record for the rock material. ~ Richie Unterberger","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46899495141663,"sku":"8013252753725","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/9ae6e4a1ea2f3e8ad2a9517a62637257_ab4b95a7-86ef-43b3-ab58-1c9b25105760.jpg?v=1777951147","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/epitaph-for-a-legend-single-disc","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
