While record browsing the other day I noticed that all (3?4?) of the
13th Floor Elevators albums are back in the stores.

One of them, ``Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators'' was
reissued a few years ago by England's Radar Records (as were all of the
others--but only as part of the box set).

The copies of ``Psychedelic Sounds of...'' were Radar reissues.  The
other albums were all apparently sealed original International Artist
issue--though the bluriness of the covers was a bit suspect.

Does anyone have any info on this?  Is someone booting these, or was there
a secret cache of original pressings discovered somewhere?  I heard a story
a year or so ago about Whelan Rogers (?), IA President, selling a warehouse
of junk--which included cases of original IA pressings.  They were slowly
being leaked out on the East Coast for around $100. a pop.
