The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators  by The 13th Floor Elevators

The album The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators, which was released in October 1966, is probably the first or one of the first psychedelic rock records in rock music. The 13th Floor Elevators from Austin, Texas with the prominent personality of Roky Erickson make sure with this album to leave a musical legacy on the global rock scene, which proves that the boundaries of rock can be extended.

The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators is a brilliant example of how the sound of garage rock can merge with acid rock. The record took ten months to record, from January 1966 to October of the same year.

The album pushed many bands in the following years to explore their potential. The "success" of the album was the opening track of the record, You're Gonna Miss Me.
