FRANKIE STEIN CD


I found this on eBay, recently. It is a two-album CD that includes the original "GHOUL MUSIC" and "SHOCK! TERROR! FEAR!" LPs. At the tender age of nine (1970) I got a copy of "MONSTER MELODIES" as a gift from my parents. I was immediately spellbound by the cheesy twang of this faux rock combo. The liner notes still evoke memories of hearing the record on our Silvertone Hi-Fi:

"FRANKIE STEIN and His Ghouls - Monster Melodies / Monster Sounds and Dance Music.

A record like this is enough to scare a body into dancing anything from the 'Twist''Watusi' 'Hully Gully' 'Swim' 'Frug' 'Surf' 'Monkey' 'Dog' 'Lindy' and even the lowly 'Fox Trot'. And without losing a DEAD beat

The monster maestro (Frankie Stein) is a graduate of the mausoleum of music at the University of Paris Green. He plays guitar with three hands and conducts with the other two. He is DEAD serious about his music. Many critics have hailed him as hideous ghastly horrormonius etc. etc. etc.

This album was recorded with the fabulously eerie sound of Power Records new D.D.T-method. The die-namic sound with Dead beat that has everything to make your dancing-and-Popcorn Party a HOWLING success"
