The first album I moved into my bedroom from my parents' record collection. Their collection was almost entirely terrible (Jim Reeves, James Last, etc...), but this gem was in there.

This was the other album I stole from my parents' record collection. I eventually found another copy of it and returned their copy to them.

I love this album. The musicianship is scary. The songs just sound right. I really wasn't expecting this after hearing one of my mates introduce me to his music with A Sense of Wonder.

His was the Velvet's album I hoped my son would love the most. It is so challenging. Sister Ray gets a lot of deserved praise, but I love I Heard Her Call My Name especially when Cale knocks over the pile of chairs in the studio.

I have seen Simeon reproduce a lot of this album live. He had a hand-built pile of electronics. It wasn't the original Simeon machine. He tweaked oscillators to make an amzing sound. It was a great night that gave me a clearer insight into how he made this album.

This is the one album of their's I still need to get. It is on that list, but something else keeps cropping up. Thank goodness for Spotify.

This is the one that started it all off. They don't change much over the next few albums. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I really like this album. It is very different from the first two albums, but you can still tell that it is the 13th Floor Elevators.

I got this album for Sympathy for the Devil. It is such a great track. The rest of the album mostly lives up to that prromise.
