The 13th Floor Elevators (1966)

The graphic design is by John Cleveland (Austin, Texas, USA). He painted the psychedelic front in which the red and green creates a retinal clash around the lettering. Typical Poster Art of the late 60'. Another detail is the eye within the eye.

'Eye-catcher' on the back is the 'the eye of enlightenment' on top of the Pyramid. Of course on the 14th 'floor'. The question is where the enlightment found its origin. The band was seriously into LSD and most songs were about it.
