I am selling a Brand New Original 1st Edition Issue LP Record of Roky's " Roky Erickson and the Aliens, The Evil One " . These are still in their original shrink wrap and therefore being so old some have slight storage wear, because of this I marked SLEEVE as VERY GOOD + so as not to guarantee they are perfect. This classic album was just re-released due to it's popularity. You can buy the re-release to play and buy one of these few 1st Edition originals that are left for your collection and leave unopened. I got these from members of the band and management way back when they came out. These original unopened records are extremely rare and there are only a few left in the world. Get yours now. Here are some descriptions of Roky during this period by other Fans and the Track List;

1981/USA/415 Records 0005…..

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.
