13th Floor Elevators - We Are Not Live

Date: 4/18/2026
Format: LP
Label: Charly Records
Release type: RSD Exclusive

2026 Record Store Day reprise of the 1968 album 'Live' by the 13th Floor Elevators. Spurned at the time for being billed as "Live" when in fact it was a compilation of previously recorded studio masters, outtakes and alternate mixes. The "very loud" crowd noise was overdubbed and was actually taken from a boxing match and wholly inappropriate for the purpose. Now, almost 60 years on, the album masters are available, in their original sequence, without the crowd noise, to be enjoyed in their full psychedelic splendor.
