From the guy who put this together: “Hi, Paul Drummond here ....compiler ...I'm not going to say producer of the Elevators box set. Just wanted to put one thing straight Charly have had absolutely nothing to do with this box set apart from foot the bills. They own the rights and wanted to do this themselves but instead they let me (& Roky's manager take over, plus the band's blessing) approach it in a very Epicurean way... touch nothing unless it needed fixing. Charly have been brilliant, by not interfering...they just let me head to Texas and get on with it. The band's original engineer /producer, Walt Andrus was flown in from California to remaster and remix (where multi tracks existed) .Re: YGMM Take 6 and all the Contact material - it has been out before but it was tampered with. This time it's straight off the tapes, with Walt producing (and on occasion Roky)-so forget what you heard twenty years ago. Apart from that it's almost everything that exists ....bar a couple of live tracks which I couldn't squeeze on- so they were left off in favour of unreleased material. Four possible sources held out on unreleased material. Not going to name and shame them, but they gave very feeable excuses considering the original band were involved in the project. The full colour book has to be £25/30 itself so the Cd's work out pretty cheap ? Every known poster/handbill and as many photos as could be licensed, begged, cajoled out of people over eight years.” [/color]
[b]This 10 CD boxset (plus 50 page colour page book in coffee table format, plus posters, plus colour-photographies etc etc) extragavanza has been getting praise everywhere from garagerock to the steve hoffman forum, both for the wealth of material included and for the good sound.
I realize this has been uploaded on other trackers, but I figure some of you might like an E standard rip with artwork. Obviously, I haven’t scanned the whole book, just a few pages that applies to the material and sources / mastering stuff for each CD. If there’s any interest I’ll upload the rest of the CD’s in the boxset.
Crank it up way high, digest some LSD, marijuana, mescaline, amphetamines, Romilar D cough syrup, Listerine, booze and you should be on the same mental level as this band was when they made the music. :D[/b]
