1. General Information Artist: The 13th Floor Elevators Album Title: The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators Label: Radar Records (RAD 13) Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Test Pressing (White Label) Country: UK Released: 1978 Genre: Rock / Psychedelic Rock 2. Description This is a rare Test Pressing of the 1978 UK reissue by Radar Records. Originally released in 1966, this album is the cornerstone of psychedelic rock, featuring Roky Erickson’s legendary vocals. This specific Radar pressing is world-renowned among audiophiles because it was mastered by George Peckham (Porky). Unlike many other reissues, Peckham’s "Prime Cut" mastering brought a level of sonic power and clarity to these recordings that many collectors consider definitive. As a test pressing, this copy represents the earliest stage of that famous 1978 production run. 3. Condition Cover: Very Good Plus (VG+). The outer sleeve shows ring wear and some edge/corner wear consistent with a vintage 1970s copy. No major splits or damage. RARE "ALBUM STYLE" SPINE Vinyl: Near Mint (NM) Labels: Original plain white labels (Test Pressing) with minor foxing/aging marks as visible in the photos. 4. Notes for Collectors EDITION: This is NOT the 1966 first edition. However, it is the First 1978 UK Radar Pressing. RARITY: This is an extremely rare Test Pressing. These were produced in very limited quantities for factory quality control before the commercial run began. MASTERING: Features the iconic "A Porky Prime Cut" and "Pecko" hand-etched signatures in the runout grooves, confirming this is the superior George Peckham mastering. 5.
