    Hi Kiloh! I wish I knew how to download these CD's, but I don't so would you please burn me one of the new Elevators CD and send it to me in Austin? Also, I miss the CD art you guys used to do! And I really like the way you put our situation- that this music is not for sale AND that neither are the fans that make this music available. Well put! L8er, Jack

    What now for CD Club torrents?
     


    Steve Froy <frog...@gmail.com> Aug 05 08:57PM +0100


     
    Pirate Bay and Demonoid have been used to make the last few CD Club
     
    releases available. There's obviously a demand out there because I've had
     
    over 100GB upped from my machine alone.
     

     
    Here in the UK many of the ISPs have blocked access to Pirate Bay so that's
     
    no longer an option for many of us over here.
     

     
    I've always used Demonoid but now that's just been brought to its knees by
     
    a denial of service attack. It might recover ... but the prognosis doesn't
     
    sound good judging by this posting on Torrent Freak -
     
    http://torrentfreak.com/demonoid-starts-redirecting-to-ads-and-malware-120802/
     

     

     
    If that goes down permanently what's the alternative?
     

     
    rollin' on
     
    Steve

    13th Floor Elevators - "RECEIVE ALL YOU CAN HOLD", 76:26
     

     
    Demos:
     
    01. Everybody Needs Somebody To Love 3:45
     
    02. Monkey Island 2:28
     
    03. Monkey Island (slightly truncated) 2:25
     
    04. Through The Rhythm 3:16

    07. The Word 3:15

    26. Don't Fall Down 3:08
     
    27. You Don't Know 3:07
     

     
    DEMOS
     
    Tracks 1 and 2 are from the "demos" cassette. Tracks 3-6 are of the same
     
    era but
     
    in much better quality. These were sourced from clean vinyl and processed to
     
    remove stray ticks and pops. They have never appeared on CD and as such are
     
    a
     
    major find.
     

     
    Track 3 is the same performance of "Monkey Island", but it was truncated on
     
    the
     
    LP. The differing sound quality made it impractical to splice them
     
    together, and
     
    so both can be foundhere.
     

     
    KAZZ
     
    Tracks 7 through 15 are the KAZZ show. These have been presented previously
     
    by
     
    the Roky CD Club on "Reverberation In The Round" but taken from a vinyl
     
    source.
     
    That tape was edited and the songs out of sequence, although the processing
     
    may
     
    have been more successful overall. (The vinyl boot may have come from
     
    cleaner
     
    tapes, although none seem to be in circulation.) This new version is
     
    intended to
     
    contrast the previous one, not to replace it. The speed is correct, and
     
    digital
     
    artifacts kept to a bare minimum.
     

     
    Half the enjoyment is in the DJ patter, most of which is missing from
     
    "Reverberation In The Round". The announcer sounds as if he had come of age
     
    in
     
    the swing band era. Presumably he despised the garage rock scene but,
     
    consummate
     
    professional that he was, we will never know for sure.
     

     
    SESSIONS
     
    Much of tracks 16 through 27 overlap with the "Ortman tape" heard on "High
     
    Baptismal Flow", and the quality is comparable to that. However several
     
    songs on
     
    each are not found on the other. Since this tape came directly from
     
    International Artists, it is worth preserving in its entirety here.
     

     
    THE CASSETTE
     
    With the exception of tracks #3 through #7, all of these were recovered from
     
    reference cassettes found with a stash of International Artists multitrack
     
    master tapes (as well as the reel-to-reel deck upon which "Easter
     
    Everywhere"
     
    was recorded), purchased at a garage sale in the Southwest in 2004.
     

     
    The "demos" cassette features a white printed label, blank except for "RCA
     
    Cassette Duplicating, 8206 Westpark Dr. Houston, Texas 77063." One side
     
    contains
     
    the KAZZ-FM show, the other is demos from January and April 1966, some of
     
    which
     
    were later used for the so-called "Live" album. Applause was dubbed onto
     
    them,
     
    but this tape contains the original mixes (albeit in mediocre quality).
     

     
    This CD marks the first time "Everybody Needs Somebody" has been heard
     
    without
     
    the crowd overdubs, as well as the first time this rendition of "Monkey
     
    Island"
     
    has been presented in its entirety.
     

     

     
    Titles on the demo side of the cassette are as follows:
     

     
    1)You Can't Hurt Me Anymore
     
    2)I'm Gonna Love You Too
     
    3)Everybody Needs Somebody
     
    4)Monkey Island
     
    5)Roller Coaster
     
    6)Splash 1
     
    7)Through The Rhythm
     
    8)You've Got To Take That Girl
     
    9)Fire Engine
     
    10)Miss Me
     
    11)Tried To Hide
     

     
    Except for #3, 4, 5, 7 and 9, all of these can be found in better quality on
     
    "High Baptismal Flow" and "Psychedelic Sounds Alternate Mix".
     

     
    #3-4 were used on this disc. The other tracks can be found on "Fire In My
     
    Bones". (Since that album has been rendered permanently out of print, they
     
    can
     
    be heard here as well.)
     

     
    It is believed that this is one of a small set of reference cassettes that
     
    International Artists would have dubbed for the band members to take home.
     
    (More
     
    likely the KAZZ side had been blank originally, but this is believed to be a
     
    low-gen copy, possibly 1st gen.)
     

     
    The quality is what one could expect from such sources. Cassette was low-end
     
    audio in the mid-1960s, and the tapes had not been lovingly preserved.
     
    However,
     
    the material has been restored as much as possible, and is quite listenable
     
    for
     
    what it is. There may or may not be better source tapes in existence.
     

     
    Until such are released, these will serve to plug most of the few remaining
     
    holes in the 13th Floor Elevators' ongoing discography.
     

     
    This CD is NOT available commercially.
     
    This music is NOT for sale.
     
    Neither is anything else from the IA stash.
     
    Neither are the fans who make it available to you.

Wow man.  Some of the vocals on some of these tracks from "RECEIVE ALL YOU CAN HOLD" sound so different.  I can't explain it.  It's like they're so natural, so electronically un-altered.  Anybody feel me on this?
