==Release== The album features songs ranging from their own psychedelic "[[Slip Inside this House]]" to a psychedelic [[cover version]] of [[Bob Dylan]]'s "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue". "Levitation," which was also released as a single—the latter ranks among the band's well-known songs. As on the previous album, Tommy Hall's electric jug is prominent in the music. The album was met with lukewarm reviews upon initial release, with a review in Billboard Magazine writing "call it intellectual-rock or call it musical flights of fancy, except for tunes that sound almost like each other, this group is inventive over-all".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/60s/1967/Billboard%201967-12-02.pdf |title=Billboard 1967-12-02 |website=World Radio History |date=2 December 1967 }}</ref> The master tapes are considered missing (or presumed destroyed). The [[International Artists]] label was revived by [[Lelan Rogers]] in the late 1970s, who reissued ''Easter Everywhere'' along with the label's entire LP catalog in 1979. The album was again reissued on vinyl in 1988 and for the first time on [[CD]] in 1991 by [[Charly Records]] UK under the Decal imprints. Following a lawsuit filed by the family of [[Roky Erickson]] against [[Lelan Rogers]] in 1993 for unpaid [[royalties]], [[Charly Records]] purchased the licensing to the full [[International Artists]] catalog from Rogers in 1995, which included ''Easter Everywhere''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/third-court-of-appeals/2000/9106.html |title=Charly Publishing Limited and Charly Acquisitions Limited v.

In 2009, the original mono version (sourced from vinyl) and an alternate stereo version were released as part of the ''Sign Of The 3-Eyed Men'' [[box set]]. In 2010, [[Charly Records]] re-released the album in a limited edition CD set featuring "Fire In My Bones", originally released in 1985 on an outtakes album of the same name. The album was again released on vinyl in 2012 as part of the ''Music Of The Spheres'' box set, which [[Charly Records]] advertised as "mastered from the original tape source",<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QezGwqasMQ |title=13th Floor Elevators - unboxing the vinyl boxset |author=Charly Records |website=[[YouTube]] |date=12 March 2012 }}</ref>. In April 2024, the band’s biographer Paul Drummond produced a half-speed master of the album, cut by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. This is the only reissue available that replicates the original 1967 stereo pressing – cut from a tape source. Fans have incorrectly assumed that previous reissues were made from a “1970s phased tape”, they were not, the original cutting engineer in 1967 switched the left and right channels. The half-speed mastered version meticulously replicates all the decisions made by the original engineer who cut the lacquer at Columbia Mastering in 1967.
