Various Artists - Epitaph For A Legend - 2CD DIGIBOOK

Founded in 1965 in Austin, Texas, the International Artists label is best known for The 13th Floor Elevators and their iconic garage-rock classic ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me’, as featured in the film ‘High Fidelity’. The cult label also released a series of groundbreaking records from acts such as The Red Crayola, Lost & Found and The Golden Dawn. Under the guidance of Lelan Rogers (brother of country star Kenny) International Artists embraced the revolutionary new psychedelic sound that was emerging from the city. ‘Epitaph For A Legend’ is a collection of previously unreleased rarities from the label’s catalogue that Rogers compiled in 1980 for a rare double vinyl release. Newly remastered on 2-CD, this deluxe media book edition comes with a 40-page booklet with extensive liner notes from The Mole (Shindig! magazine). It also features a new intro by noted music journalist and author Jon Savage along with his original interview with Lelan Rogers from the 1980 vinyl release.
