The tracks that make up A Nicer Shade Of Red are songs from the thirty-song session that Nice was taken from. These are fully mixed and mastered tracks. Some of them we are playing live night to night. The extended version of Your Number is One is a completely different take with a longer middle section that allowed Jason, together with percussion jamblaster supreme Kerim Imes, to go long with some cool instruments and really let you see what good playing is all about. Clifs mix is insane. Its a damn cool track and I am very happy to get a chance for you all to hear it as I think youll dig it big time. -- Henry

Life Time is the first studio record by the Rollins Band. We did our first practice on 04-07-87 and went out on a long tour of America and Europe. On the road we wrote songs and put them into the set. By late October we finished the shows in London, UK. We went up to Leeds where Chris had a place to live and booked studio time at the same place that he and I did the Hot Animal Machine recordings a year before. I had no producer for this record and feared that since everyone in the band had strong opinions on how it all should be done that if we tried to do it ourselves we would do more harm than good. I called Ian MacKaye and asked for help. He got on a plane and came right out. That's Ian. We got straight to work as we had little time or money. All twelve songs were cut and mixed in a few days. We would do a take and Ian would tell us that it was good and we were moving on. When someone would say that they wanted to do it over again, he listened patiently and then asked again which song we wanted to do next. We got it all done and dragged it back to America for about 3,200 dollars. My, how things have changed. The album cover was drawn on the back of a diner place mat by Stephen Myers as a gift for my then roommate Laura. Only the offset reproduction of the piece remains as the original went with her when she gave up her room. She shot herself a few years ago. Special thanks to Ian for coming to the rescue on such short notice. Thanks to you for checking this out. -- Henry Track Listing: 1. Burned Beyond Recognition 2. What Am I Doing Here? 3.

When we were in the studio making the Life Time album, we recorded the cover songs we played on the tour that has just ended. Taking advantage of the relatively new medium of CD, I stuck on a bunch of live stuff from the tour along with the studio tracks and put it out as a CD EP for really cheap. I figured it would do the band a good turn by letting people hear how we sounded live, which was what we were really all about. Thanks for listening. -- Henry Rollins (2007 Los Angeles, CA) Track Listing: 1. Do It 2. Move Right In 3. Next Time Live Europe 1987 4. Joe Is Everything And Everything Is Joe 5. Black And White 6.

It was 1998, I was bandless and producing a local Los Angeles band called Mother Superior. Great guys, great band. They get it done and move onto the next thing. My kind of people. I had some song ideas but no band to work on them with so I asked them if they would help and they generously offered their services. We got together and wrote some songs the first night. A few days later, we had more songs. Eventually, over two sessions we ended up with a lot of songs. In 1999 we went out and played a bunch of shows all over the world and had a blast. In 2000 we released some of these songs as the Get Some Go Again album. This is all the songs we recorded in this period plus two live tracks from a show in Los Angeles at the Troubadour that were on a promo CD. Having Brother Wayne Kramer and Thin Lizzy’s Scott Gorham guest on our record was huge and we thank them. Jim, Marcus, Jason and I worked hard, played hard and had a good time rockin’ out. It was so great to work with people who had such enthusiasm and a will to get it on and not just get on with it. There’s a big difference. Thanks. –- Henry Rollins (2-CD Set includes the "Get Some Go Again" video and Electronic Press Kit)

The 50 DVD has made its arrival to our site after being sold on tour only for most of this year. The DVD is a live performance of me at the National Geographic Theater in Washington DC on February 13th, 2011, when I turned fifty. Ian MacKaye introduces me and I take it from there. It was a good night in a good theater with a fantastic audience. One of the parts I like about it is that we did some non performance footage of me going back to some of my old haunts in DC like the classic venue Madams Organ as well as a tour through my old job that I left in 1981. We are very happy to be able to bring this to all of you who were not able to go to the tour and pick it up there. -- Henry

19oz. Henry Rollins black mug featuring the Search & Destroy logo.

Welcome back to the mouth that never shuts. The second night at the Enmore Theater. More stories, bile and ranting diatribes from your graying, limping philosophic misanthropic curmudgeon. In case you didn't read the liner notes from volume one of this set, your patronage of this two-CD set just liberated a dollar to Hollygrove in Los Angeles, CA (a home for abused and neglected children, www.hollygrove.org . Nice one! I like this two CDs for ten bucks deal. You never know, there may be more of this kind of thing coming. Stay tuned and thanks for checking me out. -- Henry Rollins
