Lost and Found - When Will You Come Through b/w Professor Black (1968) | Texas Psych | Full 45 Rip

Two of the men on this record were later hired to go out and pretend to be the 13th Floor Elevators. The 1968 promo on International Artists IA-125, white label, stamped DJ COPY. Neither of these songs is on their album, so on original vinyl this 45 is the only place either one came out. Published by Tapier Music, produced by Fred Carroll. Lost and Found came out of Bellaire High School outside Houston, where they started as the Misfits: Peter Black on guitar and vocals, Jimmy Frost on lead guitar, James Harrell on bass and Steve Webb on drums. An artist called George Banks, who was never in the band, took two of them to see the 13th Floor Elevators play in Austin in December 1965, got arrested alongside them at the Living Eye a year later when they became the first Texas band busted for LSD, designed their album sleeve, and co-wrote the B-side of this record. Fred Carroll came up with the name International Artists in 1965 and sold the trademark for thirty five dollars to a partnership of Houston attorneys, then came back years later to work there as a staff producer. The label put out everything the 13th Floor Elevators ever recorded and could barely sell anything else. After a tour with the Music Machine, Jimmy Frost said the label told the band they owed it money, and they split up in the summer of 1968. That August International Artists issued an Elevators live album that was not live, just studio outtakes with crowd noise dubbed over the top from a recording of a boxing match, and Peter Black and James Harrell were hired to promote it on stage as the Elevators alongside Stacy Sutherland. About ten shows, and that was the end. 0:00 When Will You Come Through 2:33 The flip 2:52 Professor Black 🎧 Rare 45rpm Vinyl Rips - promo singles and obscure 7-inches: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pZAodT9-v-Lehtz7BPAlxi 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips - rare psych and rock LPs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 🔴 Live Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6:30am PT, one record from my collection: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9qEwJJg-w9RXM0MsbSk5H3F 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ I sell my doubles and extras here: https://vinylpipershop.com/ #LostAndFound #TexasPsych #RareVinyl #45RPM #VinylCollector
