Description
This is my extra copy of Roky Erickson's Two-Headed Dog 45. It is an unplayed, original pressing. Roky's last name is mis-spelled "Ericson" on the label. You will not find a better sounding version of this Texas classic. Very hard to find in this condition.
Per Wikipedia:
In 1974, after having been released from the state hospital, Erickson formed a new band which he called "Bleib alien", Bleib being an anagram of Bible and/or German for "remain," 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 and inspired by Vladimir Demikhov's 1950s head transplant experiments) was released as a single.
