Subject: 1/13th_floor_elevators/youre_gonna_miss_me.crd

Demented noise from Texas punk legends the Thirteenth Floor Elevators;
originally recorded by leader/legend Roky Erickson's earlier group, the
Spades, whose version is available on the _Epitaph For A Legend_ comp.

Incidentally, the 13FE were the first group to refer to their own music
as 'psychedelic'; the full title of their debut is _The Psychedelic
Sounds of the Thirteenth Floor Elevators_, released a couple months
before the Blues Magoos' better-known _Psychedelic Lollipop_.
