Album Description
2008 three CD set that collects classic tracks from the label's flagship acts like The 13th Floor Elevators, The Red Crayola, The Bubble Puppy and Golden Dawn alongside a host of sought-after lesser known gems from the likes of Thursday's Children, The Chaynes, The Rubayaat, Sterling Damon and The Shayds. Quite a number of these tracks are here making their CD debut, several not having seen the light of day since their first release 40 years ago. Meticulously researched, compiled and sequenced, each of the set's three discs has been carefully themed: Disc One features the label's renowned Garage acts. Disc Two concentrates on its prime Psychedelic recordings. Disc Three delves deep into the label's archives and demonstrates the wide range of music the label embraced and includes rocking blues, more mainstream pop, country, soul and oddities. Charly.

Customer Reviews

Psychedelic Sounds-Texas style
More than just a expanded version of "Epitaph For A Legend" this is a 3 CD document of the short lived International Artists label which was home to the 13th Floor Elevators, Red Krayloa, Bubble Puppy and others groups involved with the emerging psychedelic scene in Texas. All the tracks have a better sound then previous releases but then sound quality was never IA's strongpoint. The first CD compiles almost every single from October 1965 to 1970. Therefore, as far as a cross section of talent it is very comprehensive. The second CD collects key album tracks from the main stable of artists. The third CD collects all the leftover miscellaneous items as well as IA's attempts in other music genres. The set also comes with a comprehensive booklet detailing most of the major artists and detailed discography. Also included is an in depth interview with producer and later owner of IA, Leland Rogers.

As with any anthology involving a label, there are a lot of hit and miss items here. In other words for every "Your Going To Miss Me' or "Hot Smoke And Sassafras" there is a "Quest For Beauty" but then again you can let your tastes be your guide.
