Vinyl LP pressing. Following the enthusiastic reception of our CD releases on the subjects of 'Horror' and 'Halloween', the first exclusive vinyl compilation on Bear Family Recordsr is released here, akin to the afore-created horrid homunculus. Well, here it is! We compiled ten from the already haunting house-party-hot tracks and dug-up four other long-lost but longing-for-life limb shakers. Included, of course, is the well-known stalwart of operatic shock and roll Screamin' Jay Hawkins, with his heart-breaking tale of the Little Demon. New to this compilation is the relatively obscure Virgil Holmes. He invites you to join his spooky ride on the Ghost Train, an anachronistic, and some say rhythmically avant-garde, Atlantic rockabilly release from 1961! Speaking of rockabilly revivals: Also exclusive to this year's comp is the highly collectible NRC 45 rpm of Rod Willis The Cat. The undisputed all-time classic is one of the songs that midwifed the psychobilly genre - included here with all the howling winds, cat screeches, and ghostly mumbles (some un-hip compilers tend to edit the sound effects... rockabilly purists go to...). This record exploits it all - Teutonic and Slavic accents, screaming, screeching, chain-rattling, howling - everything your warped brain desires! So, invite your friends, let your hair down, and get charged by the electrical spirit of the "man" himself - Herr Frankenstein.
