13th Floor Elevators Rio Nido tape
Jul 28, 2021, 16:46
So someone has found a tape of prime late 1966 Elevators. Sundazed has it and there's a petition to get it released......

Thanks for the "head"s up.
Hopefully released sooner than later.

Kiloh Smith created this petition. If anyone is unfamiliar, this deplorable person has viciously attacked Paul Drummond and Roky, and is an all around POS who tries to control the internet's presence of all things 13th Floor Elevators. Don't support anything he says or does, but please look this up for yourself.

Hmmm, is there a reasonably impartial summary anywhere?

Agreed. He also used to moderate a Syd Barrett forum on Yahoo (and later Facebook) which I left after he posted a tasteless and unsolicited comment about how you should never date a "chick" with any history of mental illness - thereby potentially relegating an eighth of the population to the proverbial dustbin. This from the admin of a group that celebrates Syd Barrett of all people. He is a massive cock.

Having said that, I'd still like that Elevators performance to be released for purely musical reasons.

Due to etiquette I'd rather not link directly to it, but if you check writer/musician Mike Stax's Facebook page - most of which is public - you'll find a long discussion with many contributors (including Stax himself and yours truly) about what an asshole he is.

I also had minor run-ins with Kiloh Smith when writing my Texas Psychedelia book, and heard first-hand accounts from musicians I interviewed about his underhand ways. To top it off, he posted a negative "review" of my book on Amazon that's delusionally self-serving, disingenously paranoid and bordering on libellous.

Kiloh used to be a major figure behind the Elevators CD club (I think that's what it was called) that would trade CD-Rs of rare material and mint LP rips. Back before most of this came out officially, his group perhaps served a useful purpose in cutting out the bootleggers, etc. Somewhere along the way, though, he decided this service made him an "expert" on all things Elevators. I know he also had a beef with Patrick the Lama, the late psychedelic music historian / record collector.

...which is the cause of Mike Stax's beef with KS (who charmingly described Patrick as a "dead loser" on his Elevators Facebook page, just for liking "Bull of the Woods"). Apparently Patrick and Mike were good friends, so you can imagine how the latter would have felt on reading that.
