condition (record/cover): EX / VG+ (sticker residue) Roky Erickson's 1986 collection gathering his post-13th Floor Elevators work with various backing bands. After years in psychiatric institutions, Erickson emerged with a unique vision combining psychedelic rock, horror imagery, and raw emotional power. Songs like "I Walked With A Zombie" and "Creature With The Atom Brain" blend B-movie themes with genuine psychological intensity - the horror imagery isn't just camp, it's Erickson processing real trauma through genre fiction. His voice remains an extraordinary instrument, ragged and desperate yet capable of unexpected beauty. The music ranges from punk-influenced garage rock to more atmospheric passages, always serving Erickson's visionary songwriting. Essential document of one of rock's most tragic and genuinely visionary figures.
