In addition to a 16-page booklet featuring rare photos, there’s also a special Record Store Day vinyl pressing of Erickson himself performing a previously unreleased track called “Love Hieroglyphics”, that comes in “clear with purple hi-melt” color that will be available at participating record stores on July 17th.
Wilco's Jeff Tweedy is also featured on the compilation with his interpretation of Erickson's "For You (I'd Do Anything)"...
Roky Erickson led the influential 1960's psychedelic rock group 13th Floor Elevators and passed away in 2019.
