Descriere

FEATURING 13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS, THE RED CRAYOLA, LOST & FOUND, LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS AND MORE. 180 g, Gatefold double vinyl, Direct Metal Mastering. Formed in Austin, Texas in 1965, the International Artists label is best known for the 13th Floor Elevators' hit singles and seminal albums, but the label also released a series of ground-breaking records from such highly-regarded artists as The Red Crayola, Lost & Found and The Golden Dawn. The label's success was largely down to the efforts of Lelan Rogers, brother of the country star Kenny. Under Roger's guidance the label embraced the revolutionary new psychedelic sound that was emerging from Texas. Epitaph For A Legend is a collection of rarities from the label's catalogue which Rogers put together in 1980 for a double vinyl release. This enhanced deluxe reissue of the album features in its gatefold inner extensive new notes from The Mole, of hindig' magazine. Jon Savage (of 'Mojo' magazine) has written a new introduction to his fascinating interview with Lelan Rogers from the original release which now appears as a separate insert.
