Summary: billy gibbons, moving sidewalks, 99th floor

I asked originally if the recent flood of 13th Floor Elevators records
were the Real McCoy, and in <171@SCINEWS.UUCP>, todd@SCINEWS (Todd Jones)

Now, aside from the fact that I wan't asking *why* these records were
being released, as far as I know Billy Gibbons was never in the Elevators.
He was is a 60's garage-punk band called The Moving Sidewalks, whose
``99th Floor'' appears on the compilation ``Pebbles, Volume #2.''  There
are also reissues of their LP's around, and an Eva compilation.

Still no answer on whether the Elevators issues are real or boots.
