⚠️ IMPORTANT: YouTube immediately blocked the initial upload of this video due to a copyright claim on "You're Gonna Miss Me." To keep this video online and share the rest of this incredibly rare French EP, I have had to remove the audio for that specific track. It’s a huge bummer for the completionists, but it's the only way to avoid a total block. The 13th Floor Elevators - Reverberation (Doubt). Released 1966 in France on the Riviera label (231 240). This is a rare original 7" EP pressing, licensed directly from the legendary International Artists label in Texas. This 4-track French EP is an essential snapshot of the Elevators at their most dangerous. Recorded as the band was essentially inventing the psychedelic genre in Austin, these tracks feature the primal, soul-piercing screams of Roky Erickson and the jagged, stinging lead guitar of Stacy Sutherland. What truly sets this apart is the rhythmic, bubbling "electric jug" of Tommy Hall, which sounds incredible in this punchy mono French mix. This Riviera pressing is highly sought after for its unique artwork and the specific "A over B" runout variation that marks it as an authentic 1966 original. Track Breakdown: Reverberation (Doubt): A swirling, hypnotic masterpiece that serves as the blueprint for early psychedelia. The interplay between the echoing vocals and the relentless electric jug creates a truly hallucinogenic atmosphere. You're Gonna Miss Me: The band's quintessential garage-psych anthem. It’s a 2-minute explosion of raw energy, anchored by one of the most legendary vocal performances and iconic harmonica breaks in rock history. Fire Engine: A fuzzed-out, high-speed trip that showcases the band’s frantic chemistry. The driving rhythm and siren-like guitar textures perfectly capture the urgency of the mid-60s Texas underground. Tried To Hide: A jagged, melodic standout that highlights Stacy Sutherland’s biting guitar style. It balances the band's folk-rock roots with a dark, cynical edge that became a hallmark of their early sound. 🎸 Sounds Like: The Rolling Stones: The raw, aggressive R&B-infused energy of their mid-60s work. The Doors: For the trippy, atmospheric intensity and a charismatic, wild frontman. The Yardbirds: For the frantic, fuzzed-out "rave-up" guitar sections. Jefferson Airplane: That high-energy, early psychedelic explosion. 💿 Tracklist 00:00 Reverberation (Doubt) 02:49 You're Gonna Miss Me (muted by youtube) 05:21 Fire Engine 08:01 Tried To Hide 📷 Follow me on Instagram for more vinyl rips: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🎧 Full vinyl rips playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn #vinylrip #13thfloorelevators #rokyerickson #psychedelicrock #1966 #vinylpiper #rivierarecords #garagerock #electricjug #texaspsych #rarevynil
