1 CD - Import - reissue on Light In The Attic - out of print

Gremlins Have Pictures is an anthology of Erickson's solo work following his extended incarceration at the Rusk State Hospital for the criminally insane, beginning with his first live performance (opening for a screening of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre in Austin) all the way to Don't Slander Me (LITA 098).

The core member of 13th Floor Elevators, and an undisputed pioneer of psychedelic rock, Erickson struck big with the howling single 'You're Gonna Miss Me'. "Any kid that played music in the Houston area would tell you the Elevators ruled," says Erickson's future drummer Freddie Krc in the liner notes. "Unlike the West Coast groups, they were our band." But Erickson's '60s dream came to an abrupt end when he was caught with a single marijuana joint on his person. Pleading not guilty by reason of insanity to avoid prison, he was sent to the Rusk State Hospital, where he was 'treated' with electroconvulsive therapy and Thorazine treatment. Released from the institution in 1974, Roky found his legend had grown while he'd been away - not least because 'You're Gonna Miss Me' was included on 1972's Nuggets compilation.

He formed a band, the Aliens, and set about honing a hard rock sound that placed the psychedelic garage blues of the Elevators firmly in the last decade. It wasn't just the sound that had changed: Roky's lyrics spoke of vampires, demons, beasts and even presidents - his 'Song to Abe Lincoln'. Collected here, the odds and ends of Erickson's post-incarceration work tell a story of a man finding his musical feet, ranging from Dylan-like folk strumming to the big, Neil Young-like rock of the unparalleled 'Anthem (I Promise)'.

The span of time is great - from the Ritz Theatre tracks, recorded in Austin in 1975, at the debut performance by the Aliens, to those troubledDon't Slander Me off-cuts. Other tracks were cut with the Explosives, the band Roky started working with at Raul's punk club in Austin after he'd returned to Austin in 1979, following the departure of the Aliens. Together the various tracks deftly summarize Roky Erickson's recording career.

Too small
Much smaller than it appeared to me in the picture. I did not read the length as I should. I would not have bought it if I saw it before purchasing. My 18 month old grandson now has a new toy.

Lots of fun at dog park!
Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher with Squeaking Handle, Size: One-Size
Great for dogs who love to run and chase tennis balls! This one works with any standard tennis ball and I was surprised when I found out the handle also has a little squeeze toy sound which my dog absolutely adores.

Love this ball launcher! Just buy it!
Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher with Squeaking Handle, Size: One-Size
These throwers are THE BOMB ! I've been using them for 4 years. The squeaker on it is a big hit at the dog park and with my dog. Gets dogs attention. Buy the squeaky chuckit balls to go with it. Easy to clean, holds up really well.

Squeaker Pinches Hand
Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher with Squeaking Handle, Size: One-Size
I toss balls 50-75 feet into the air. Works our my dog. I can actually throw a ball over 150 feet, so the dog gets a good workout. The squeaker is unnecessary and it does pinch my hand on a long toss.
