The Black Angels - Another Nice Pair [12", LP]

ANOTHER NICE PAIR is a compilation album of THE BLACK ANGELS' first two EP's (The Black Angels and the Exit EP), issued for Record Store Day 2011 in a limited run of 2500 copies on red vinyl. I didn't have those EP's so i was very happy that they re-released these songs. The band has a new album coming out soon now, so who knows they might release something for RSD13 as well. Since 2011 they've always done so: together with this compilation they also released the Phosgene Nightmare 10" EP in 2011, and in 2012 there was the Watch Out Boy 7". So fingers crossed for both a good new album and something interesting for RSD13, 'cause i can't get enough of this band.

Iggy Pop & Zig Zags / Betty Davis - If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up [7"]

Light In The Attic Records celebrates their 10-year anniversary with a series of limited coloured 7"es, and this is one of the first of them. ZIG ZAGS have teamed up with IGGY POP for a cover of IF I'M IN LUCK I MIGHT GET PICKED UP on the A-side of this 7", while the original version by BETTY DAVIS (once Mrs. Miles Davis, for one year in the late sixties) is on the B-side. Iggy and his buddies created a great sludgy version of it, with riffs that Black Sabbath would be jealous of. But the original raw and punky funk song definitely ain't bad either, i must say.

PASSOVER by THE BLACK ANGELS; their debut full length that came out in 2006. Originally with an embossed sleeve, but this is the reissue from 2009 with a (thicker but) normal gatefold sleeve. Great album!

The Black Angels - Directions To See A Ghost [12", 3LP]

This is THE BLACK ANGELS' second album, and actually the one that i got to know them through. Maybe that's why its also still my favourite of the three so far. The vinyl edition of DIRECTIONS TO SEE A GHOST has two bonus tracks (on side F) that are not on the CD, and it's an extremely good looking package with nice artwork and a poster. Supposedly only 1000 copies were made.
This band is one of the best contemporary psychedelic rock bands for sure.
