Hot damn, as i’m sure all of you know by now, we are super excited about the upcoming release of the lost classic U.F.O. by Jim Sullivan. This reissue has been years in the making and on November 16th it will finally be unleased unto the world–for the first time ever on CD (and the first ever reissue on vinyl).

So with all this in mind, do pick up the December issue of Mojo Magazine where U.F.O. is given 5 stars and featured as the lead review in their reissue section! Very cool.

And if you’ve been paying attention, dear friends, you should know all about the Jim Sullivan Story, a short film made by Jennifer Maas (Wheedle’s Groove) about the truly haunting and bizarre story of Jim Sullivan and U.F.O.. Need reminding????  Here:

Make Way – U.F.O. About To Land!

Monday, November 8th, 2010

JimSullivan4

Here we are, just about one week before Jim Sullivan’s U.F.O. hits the street and the excitement has reached fever pitch! Last week, we reported that U.F.O. received a 5 star review (certified Mojo Classic) from Mojo Magazine in their December issue. And the love for Jim Sullivan just keeps coming (as it should!). We’re super excited to share even more reviews to look out for:

The Stranger gave U.F.O. a spin, and they had this to say:

“LITA had to do a lot of traveling and sleuthing to manifest this record, and the label’s heroic efforts pay serious dividends. Like Rodriguez‘s Cold Fact, Sullivan’s U.F.O. deserves to become a cherished cult LP. It ought to become a touchstone from which Americana-enthralled musicians can draw inspiration for years to come.” Check out the full review HERE!

And don’t forget to pick up copies of the December issues of Q, Record Collector and the November issue of Shindig! All have great reviews of U.F.O., and the issue of Shindig! has a very nice full page review with pics!

Rotter & Friends / Light In The Attic present: Jim Sullivan “UFO” T-Shirt!

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

Rotter & Friends are a NYC-based design team who’s impeccably designed and super limited T-shirts you’ve been seeing for years. Such artists to get their own shirt include: Gene Clark, Neil Young, Captain Beefheart, Link Wray, Christie Mcvie, Tony Joe White, the list goes on and on. Well, we’re super excited and honored to announce the latest Rotter & Friends design/tee–Jim Sullivan “There’s a highway telling me to go”! Here’s what R + F have to say about it:

‘Tis a really big moment in R + F history as we announce our first official collaboration with the great people at Light In The Attic Records paying homage to the late, mysterious, and wonderful Jim Sullivan and his 1969 album: U.F.O.

In addition to this super rare record being a gorgeous collection of hope jams, Jim’s story is a whopper to boot-as he disappeared for good in March of 1975. Some think he got lost in the desert. Some think he fell foul of a local family with alleged mafia ties. Some think he was abducted by aliens. LITA were so blown away by this lil’ masterpiece and recently re-issued it on vinyl/cd/digital.

We are offering the discount combo option of limited edition tee with vinyl as well….”

So dig that! You can order the shirt by itself or as a package deal with our reissue of Jim’s U.F.O.! Men’s and Women’s sizes available. These are super limited, so don’t sleep!
