ROKY ERICKSON and the ALIENS

Roky Erickson & The Aliens

Original UK White Label Promo LP released on CBS Records in 1980.

CBS-S 84463 A2   /   CBS-S 84463 B2   THEY'RE ROCKING IN HADES

Also referred to as the `Runes' LP, this was the first album-length Roky Erickson record to be released and a it remains the cornerstone of his reputation. These songs were recorded in 1977. They were produced by Stu Cook, former bass player for Creedence Clearwater Revival. 15 different songs emerged from these sessions; 10 of them appeared on this 1980 CBS UK release. In 1981 the other 5 songs (The Wind And More, Bloody Hammer, Click Your Fingers Applauding The Play, If You Have Ghosts, and Sputnik) plus 5 from this record were released in the US as The Evil One on 415 Records. Thus begins the most convoluted discography in the history of Rock 'n Roll.
   What makes this album special in part is the Aliens. They were more then just Roky's main back-up band, they were fully dedicated to augmenting the expression of Roky's world-view. They were, simply put, the Roky-est. These tracks are fully choreographed mini-horror movies in song form. Billy Angel's auto-harp provides the sounds of outer space where once Tommy Hall's jug supplied those of inner space. The immaculate production values have been cited as being too slick by some fans who prefer earlier, more manic versions of a few of the songs but it should be remembered that this album was a legitimate bid for large-scale commercial success. With the exception of Fuzzy Furioso on drums, the members of the Aliens had played with Roky for years before recording these songs, and it shows.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
