Background
The October 1966 back cover of the album uses the words "The Psychedelic Sounds of: The 13th Floor Elevators", which is purported to be the first use of the word "psychedelic" in reference to the music within.[3] Two other bands also used the word in titles of LPs released in November 1966: The Blues Magoos' Psychedelic Lollipop, and the Deep's Psychedelic Moods.
In 2009, the original mono version was released as part of the "Sign of the 3-Eyed Men" box set. The set also featured a new, alternate stereo version which retained the band's original intended track listing, as well as false starts on some of the tracks (the International Artists label had altered the track listing without the band's consent when the album was first released). Both versions on the box set featured different bonus tracks, some that were previously unreleased.

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators es el primer álbum de la banda estadounidense 13th Floor Elevators. El sonido del álbum mezcla elementos del folk, garage rock, blues y psicodelia. El álbum es considerando el primero en utilizar el término psicodelia en referencia a la música en su interior, sin embargo, existe una disputa sobre lo anterior ya que dos bandas usaron el término en LP publicados en noviembre de 1966: Psychedelic Lollipop de la banda neoyorkina The Blues Magoos, y Psychedelic Moods de The Deep.
