RELEASE DATE

Reissue, originally released in 1988. Legendary Texan psychedelic innovator
Roky Erickson
formed the
13th Floor Elevators
in the mid-1960s, shaking up the local and national music scenes with his astounding debut LP. After spells at psychiatric facilities, Erickson formed the
Bleib Alien
which became the
Aliens
, but by the early 1980s was fixated with junk mail. In the convoluted aftermath, 1988's
Openers
, released in limited numbers by London's 5 Hours Back, had Erickson solo on six of the tracks, his anguished, meandering lyrics backed by disjointed acoustic guitar chords, and here contrasted by the swampy power-pop backing of
The Explosives
on the rest.
