Roky Erickson CD Club ROKCDR086 (upgraded 2024-09: added interview)

Roky Erickson - Interviews 1983-1987, Austin, TX

Bill Jaeger (an old friend of Roky Erickson's) donated the 1st generation tape of this performance, and Knox Mitchell transferred it to digital, and also supplied the masters for this release. Much appreciated, to all involved.

The tape with the KLBJ interview also had about 6 minutes of Roky reading tacked onto the end, probably at his house, from a notebook. This reading sounds like Roky writing about his early life. Bill remembers that also having been recorded off the radio the same day as the KLBJ recording.
