Description
The 13th Floor Elevators: A Visual History by Paul Drummond explores the short but influential career of this pioneering psychedelic rock band. Formed in late 1965, the group's unique blend of jug-band garage rock and hallucinatory sound helped shape the emerging countercultural movement. Through a vast collection of primary materials, including rare photographs, artwork, personal diaries, and interviews, Drummond presents an unprecedented account of the band's history. This unvarnished story reveals the highs and lows of their existence, from their early success to their eventual downfall due to internal conflicts, professional mismanagement, and run-ins with the law. With a wealth of previously unseen materials, this book offers a comprehensive look at the 13th Floor Elevators' impact on music history.
