May The Circle Remain Unbroken: A Stribute to Roky Erickson, 2021 on LIght In The Attic

Posthumous tribute album for Roky Erickson by the same producer who assembled Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye, which was a 1990 tribute album that introduced my to many of his songs (though I also knew the 13th Floor Elevators LPs).

Tracklist and participants:

• Billy F. Gibbons – “(I’ve Got) Levitation”
• Mosshart Sexton – “Starry Eyes”
• Jeff Tweedy – “For You (I’d Do Anything)”
• Lynn Castle & Mark Lanegan – “Clear Night For Love”
• The Black Angels – “Don’t Fall Down”
• Neko Case – “Be and Bring Me Home”
• Margo Price – “Red Temple Prayer (Two-Headed Dog)”
• Gary Clark Jr. & Eve Monsees – “Roller Coaster”
• Ty Segall – “Night of the Vampire”
• Lucinda Williams – “You’re Gonna Miss Me”
• Chelsea Wolfe – “If You Have Ghosts”
• Brogan Bentley – “May The Circle Remain Unbroken”

Plus a “Record Store Day only” 7″ flexi-disc single with Erickson himself doing “Love Hieroglyphics” from “the early ’70s.”

My copy—via Down in the Valley in Golden Valley, MN—included the 7″ flexi-disk. as well as a 16 page book.

Jim Sullivan, U.F.O., 1969 on Monnie Records

im Sullivan’s U.F.O. originally came out on Monnie back in 1969 (basically a self-funded pressing), and then was reissued with the title Jim Sullivan (with a different mix) by Century City Records in 1970. It was out of print until Light in the Attic reissued it in 2010, forty years later.

Sullivan famously disappeared in New Mexico in 1975, adding some romance and intrigue – especially when one of the theories is alien abduction, given the album’s title.

Musicians on the LP include some of the Wrecking Crew: Earl Palmer, Don Randi, Jimmy Bond, Lyle Ritz, and Max Bennett.

My copy is the Vinyl Me Please reissue made by Light in the Attic, as part of the VMP Essentials track (VMP E081) which came out in 2019. Reissue was produced by Matt Sullivan (co-found of Light in the Attic – no relation to Jim) with sound restoration/mastering by Dave Cooley.

Very cool-looking Takeshi Terauchi reissue coming on Light in the Attic: https://lightintheattic.net/releases/9280-eleki-bushi-1966-1974

I was lucky enough to find a few of his Japanese records in my local about a year ago so I'm fully on board. Highly recommended!
