Roky Erickson and the Aliens The Evil One
We sell used albums. We test every album to ensure they play the way they should. We do not "grade" anything due to grading is objective and the individuals personal opinion. This huge collection we will be listing is from a personal collector that took very good care of his albums. They have been played but not abused. We sell to the individual that would rather play all night rather than the dorks that only want to "grade" items. Do not ask us to "grade" anything...look at the pictures. We usually only accept a "BEST OFFER" if we are not the lowest price on ALL of ebay or if there is no shipping involved or 5 or more items purchased at once. We price our items to be the lowest price on ALL of ebay so search by "fixed price" and then "Lowest Price" and let us know if we are not and we will adjust accordingly. All other offers will be rejected. You can see from the pictures these are in great shape! These are not museum pieces but rather great lp's ready to be played by a "Vinyl Vixen" or creating background mood music for getting down with that special Vinyl Lovin' Groupie.
In 1974, after having been released from state hospital, Erickson formed a new band which he called "Bleib alien", Bleibbeing an anagram of Bible and/or German for "stay," and "Alien" being a pun on the German word allein ("alone") - the phrase in German therefore being "remain alone." His new band exchanged the psychedelic sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators for a more hard rock sound that featured lyrics on old horror film and science fiction themes. "Two Headed Dog (Red Temple Prayer)" (produced by The Sir Douglas Quintet's Doug Sahm) was released as a single.
The new band was renamed Roky Erickson and the Aliens. In 1979, after playing with the Reversible Cords on May Day at Raul's, Erickson recorded 15 new songs with producer Stu Cook, former bass player of Creedence Clearwater Revival. These efforts were released in two "overlapping" LPs — "I Think Of Demons" (CBS UK, 1980) and "The Evil One" (415 Records, 1981). Cook played bass on two tracks, "Sputnik" and "Bloody Hammer." Roky performed with The Nervebreakers as his backup band at The Palladium in Dallas in 1979. A recording was issued on the French label New Rose and was recently re-issued elsewhere.
In 1982, Erickson asserted that a Martian had inhabited his body. He came to feel that, due to his being alien, human beings were attacking him psychically. A concerned friend enlisted a Notary Public to witness an official statement by Erickson that he was an alien; he hoped by declaring so publicly he would be in line with any "international laws" he might have been breaking. Erickson claimed the attacks then indeed stopped.
