For those that can't get enough of the 60's Texas psychedelic scene, Ben Graham's book "A Gathering of Promises" is chock full of the history and music of 13th Floor Elevators and all the prominent International Artists acts like the Golden Dawn, Red Crayola, Lost and Found et al, as well as the Moving Sidewalks and a history of early folk and blues singing by Janis Joplin before she joined Big Brother and the Holding Company.
Another must have is "Stacy Sutherland-Down the Rabbit Hole", which sheds light on the brooding and enigmatic guitarist of the 13th Floor Elevators and his tragic murder by his wife, as told by both Sutherland's wife and his mother. Naturally, the accounts differ but are fascinating as was Stacy himself.

Yeah, a bit off key and very 'monotone', but it does fit the music.

I am sorry, but there are no corners to psychedelics. There is only empty expanses. Sometimes rounded sofas floating in the galactic ether.

1970's "Fully Qualified Survivor" is hailed by a few (including it's current reissue label LITA) as a psychedelic masterpiece. For most others its a folk rock classic that never got it's due. For others, it's a meditation on life's rocky roads delivered with zen like clarity and steely understatement. Whatever category this album is placed in it's worth a listen, even 48 years later as it still seems to fit everywhere and nowhere. Just like Michael Chapman.
