13th Floor Elevators
Bull Of The Woods
1969 final studio album by the Texan pioneers of psychedelia. Presenting the singles ivin' On' and band's the ethereal
swansong
ay The Circle Remain Unbroken'. It is an important album in the band's discography and has continued to gain
significance as their story has become more widely known.
By the time the album was recorded, the band were facing extreme challenges, lead vocalist Roky Erickson had to be
broken out of a mental hospital in Houston by the band's lyricist Tommy Hall. They fled to San Francisco, leaving the
band's lead guitarist, Stacy Sutherland stranded in Texas - unable to leave the state boundaries due to his probation
restrictions.
While the songs ivin' On', ever Another', r. Doom' and
ay the Circle Remain Unbroken' feature the full band - the remainder of the album features Sutherland leading a power
trio featuring former bassist Ronnie Leatherman with drummer Danny Thomas. Soon after the recordings were completed
Ronnie was drafted to Vietnam, Danny was subjected to electric-shock treatment and Stacy was imprisoned for parole
violation.
Despite the challenges faced during its creation, BULL OF THE WOODS has continued to gain recognition as a unique and
significant album for its darker psychedelic sound. Since this is a faithful reproduction of the original LP pressing -
the number of processes from the mixed master tape to lacquer were limited to an absolute minimum.
A half speed master was then cut at Air Mastering and a test pressing was then dubbed and the dynamic range compared
against the original pressing. The result was a better sound pressing than the original!
