I was in TenPinRecords in Purley the other day and the owner, Lisa, had this beautiful 13th Floor Elevators 7″ on the counter which I had to take a photo of. It’s a bootleg from 1978 of ‘You Really Got Me’ and don’t all jump at once, that £1.50 price sticker was the original, it’s nearer £50 these days. In a bid to find out more about it, including the cover artist (Michael Beal) I went down the Discogs rabbit hole and found a few more nice 13th Floor sleeve designs, not least this great 7″ picture sleeve for ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me’ (front and back shown below).

On the reissue front there’s this book cover from the Sign of the 3 Eyed Men compilation, not sure the designer here
