Give Up The Ghost Year One" LP
In 2001, Bridge Nine licensed both American Nightmare EP's to the Dutch label Reflections Records, and packaged them together under the bands new name, "Give Up The Ghost" and titled it Year One. This became the 12" collection of both EP's that were available separately in the U.S. at the time. In February of 2004, just a few months before the band would break up, Bridge Nine re-pressed both original American Nightmare EP's under the bands new name. There were two variants: clear and translucent orange which paid homage to the two rarest pressings of the original EP's, and translucent blue and black, representing the most common variants originally pressed. Both records were housed in a gatefold 7 inch cover, featuring the artwork designed for the European release of Year One, but with a more muted American flag with their iconic angel, illustrated by Linas Garsys, on the cover. There were no test pressings for the 7 inch version of B9R035, as the original plates from both EP's was used. The CD version of Year One also included an additional cover song (Kick out the Jams by MC5) as well as three songs that had been recorded live at the BBC (two of which had been released as the limited Live In London bonus 7" a year before).
