The Evil One

There are many ROKY ERICKSON albums but The Evil One, originally released by CBS Records in Europe in 1980, was the first of them and, many would say, the best.

This re-issue also includes the five additional songs contained on the 1981 US release of The Evil One on San Francisco's 415 Records and thus contains all of the ROKY ERICKSON material from these great recording sessions produced by Stu Cook for Orb Productions from 1978 to 1980. For the first time included on this reissue are additional bonus tracks including earlier versions of "Mine Mine Mind," "Two Headed Dog" and "Click Your Fingers Applauding The Play" previously released by France's Sponge Records in 1976. This record represents one of Sympathy's proudest and most important achievements and The Evil One definitely has a deserved and secure place among rock's brightest (and genuinely scary) moments.
