Below you see the label of the previoously unknown Psychedelic Aliens 45 I found a few weeks ago. As you can see they called themselves the Magic Aliens for this release.If you dare, click on the label scan and hear a rough recording straight from the original 45. But better sit down first and have a cold beer ready. You'll need it. This is probably the most bad-ass record I've ever found... This track and 5 more will soon be re-issued, on vinyl and CD in beautifully re-mastered, awesome-sounding quality on Academy Records.This is a clipping from the program folder for the 1972 festival "Soul To Soul" courtesy of Uchenna from the always amazing and highly recommended blog With Comb & Razor. The Aliens played this festival alongside such stars as Ike & Tina Turner, Wilson Picket and Santana. Don't waste your money on the film or record of this event as none of the African artists who participated are represented. Malek said that the band was being filmed while they played. Maybe this material is still collecting dust in the vaults of MGM...

    When can we pre-order this?

    This will probably take a couple of months... we signed contracts for a whole series of very serious releases... can't tell much right now but I still can't really believe what we scored.

    There's also going to be a re-issue of the Pax Nicholas LP out on Daptone within the next few weeks, I hope...

    I'll be working full speed on this, but Frank and I want to make sure it's done right. We'll be getting interviews and photos from band members and we want to make sure the mastering is done right etc. It'll be out in about three months if there are no major snags.

    I'll give updates on the Myspace page, and soon Academy Lps will have a new website.
