NOTES

Limited release of 150 on green vinyl in gatefold sleeve; only available through LITA mailorder.

Originally released in the UK as the 10 song album Five Symbols in 1980 and as The Evil One in 1981 (with 5 songs replaced), this definitive collection gathers all 15 songs from the Stu Cook (Creedence Clearwater Revival) late 1977-79 produced sessions.
Includes 20-pg booklet, download card for full album, and etching by artist Travis Millard on Side D.

Rare / unseen archive photos and ephemera. A Newbury Comics exclusive colored vinyl pressing limited to 300.

Produced over a period of two years by Stu Cook, from Creedence Clearwater Revival, it's a masterful collection of songs about zombies, demons, vampires and, yes, even the 'Creature With The Atom Brain'. These tracks, inspired by schlock sci-fi and horror movies and colored by Roky's distinctive, high-pitched vocal and squealing guitar, are among the maverick performer's best. At the time, Roky explained the album this way: "It's gonna go back to the ferocious kind of rock 'n' roll of the Kinks, the Who and the Yardbirds. It's the kind of music that makes you wish you were playing it or listening to it for the first time 'way back when.'"

Double LP with etching on side 4, packaged with a 20 page booklet of liner notes. Album includes a digital download.
