A Nicer Shade of Red is a compilation album by the Rollins Band.

[2] It was recorded at the same sessions that produced Nice, making it a companion piece to that album, and was released directly by Rollins' 2.13.61 label.

In addition to previously unreleased material, the album also features four songs that only appeared on vinyl or foreign CD releases of Nice as well as an extended mix of "Your Number Is One" and a cover of The Dead Boys' "Ain't It Fun".

[1] In the liner notes for the album, Henry Rollins said, "there's some strange and cool stuff here, and perhaps some over the top and indulgent material as well.

"[1] One dollar from each CD sold in the United States went to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
