Monsters Vampires Voodoos & Spooks: 33 Slabs / Var Monsters Vampires Voodoos & Spooks: 33 Slabs / Var CD

2017 collection. The 1950s saw a huge renaissance of horror, monster and vampire movies, TV shows and comics in the United States, which coincided with the arrival of Rock 'n' Roll. This led to the appearance of a plethora of novelty discs, often on tiny, mysterious, local record labels, some of which crossed over to become major hits. This is a fun, 33-track celebration of such recordings, ranging from the downright obscure to multi-million-sellers. Includes hits like John Zacherle's ghoulish 'Dinner With Drac', Sheb Wooley's high octane 'Purple People Eater' and the genre's biggest-ever success, Bobby (Boris) Pickett & The Crypt Kickers' perennial 'Monster Mash'. Plus serious collectors' items from Carl Bonafede, Kip Tyler, Jackie Morningstar, Scottie Stuart, Leroy Bowman & The Arrows, Earl Patterson with The Darts, Frank N. Stein & The Tombstones and Jimmy Dee & The Meteors. Also features such diverse and unlikely names as Screamin' Jay Hawkins, LaVern Baker, Bo Diddley, The Big Bopper, The Hollywood Flames, Bert Convy, Johnny Fuller, Bob McFadden & Dor, Screaming Lord Sutch, etc. Many of the rarer sides featured herein are unavailable elsewhere on CD.
