Mann Drake - Vampire's Ball / Horror Movie

Slow motion this morning. Cooper and I out the door a little later than usual. Yesterday it was 82 degrees..this morning 58 and windy...yuck. Here is one I have had for awhile and recently re-discovered while going through boxes of 45's I have not sorted. Crazy

The Kingsmen - Haunted Castle

 Here is a Kingsmen B side. I believe this was the common Jerden Bootlet. Surf Instrumental sound for your Pre Halloween Monday. I have the Wand copy somewhere in my boxes of 45s...oh the humanity

Frank De Vol and his Orch - House On Haunted Hill / Hades

This one seems to be a bit pricey and I am not sure why. Maybe it was the theme song from the Vincent Price movie but since I have not seen that I don't know

The Emersons - Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde

 I picked this one up this summer. I had to do some scrambling last night searching for a few that I wanted to upload..I hate it when I am behind with cataloging 45s.

Dan Wilson And The Notable - Crater Creepers

Steve King And The Echelons- Satan Is Her Name

 I picked up this beauty early this year. I bought about 2000 45's real cheap and most of it was junk but then..BOOM, Killer little 45 that made wading throught he muck and grit worth while. I am not suprised this went nowhere..not really early 60's top 40 here.

The Contrails- Mummy Walk / Someone

 Halloween is just over a week away and I have a bunch of Halloween 45s.but so little time. To get in the mood, how about a little surf sound. The better side is listed as the B side and is a nice instumental while the  A side reminded me of a 60's teen/moody song but I liked it as well

Johnny Rivers- Think His Name

 Found this Johnny Rivers Promo years ago and stashed it away. Nice spiritual song that was not a hit for Johnny. By the early to late 1970's he was not the hit making machine he once was with just a few break through releases. I find it hard to believe I have not posted any of his songs over the years...guess I will make up for that eventually. Of course he is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Shame...but maybe now that Jann is gone the Rock Hall will start picking some of these 60's artists that deserve the recognition

Ray Barretto - Do You Dig It

 I have recorded quite a bit of 45s lately but have had limited time with posting due to all the things going on in my life right. I have not been out and about picking lately so that is giving me the chance to revisit my collection and see what I have. Always a suprise such as this nice latin soul 45 I have had for some time.
