13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS

They went out in a blaze of acid and jail cells, but 13th Floor Elevators became Austin, Texas heroes and psychedelic icons along the way. Author Paul Drummond assembled a treasure trove of unpublished photos, rare period artwork, artifacts rescued from scrapbooks and diaries and, yes, Austin Police Department records to create this unprecedented visual history of Roky Erickson and his mates who put their own indelible stamp on American counterculture in the ’60s. Paperback. 272 pages. Anthology Editions.
