Description
Frankie Stein And His Ghouls 'Ghoul Music' on the U.S. Power label from 1965.
the catalogue number is S 340
(taken from Discogs):
A fictional studio creation designed to profit off the "Monster Kid" generation of the early 1960's. The Frankie Stein formula was as simple as it was brilliant; cool low budget horror cover art, creepy sounding song names with a suggested dance listing after the title ("Hully Gully, Frug"). and spooky sound effects laid on top of the actual music (which was a potpourri of twist & beat numbers that sometimes had frightful compositional overtones & sometimes didn't).
the above text has been lifted off a very cool Horror blog called 'Scar Stuff'. it's quite an interesting rabbit hole!

onto the album itself...
record has been cleaned on an Okki Nokki and play tested. both sides have lots of fine hairlines and various nicks and marks. there's some surface noise on playback (low pops etc.) but it's not constant. some tracks are 'noise free' and some have quite a bit of low surface noise. there's one very brief skip during track A2 (Mummy's Little Boy).
i'm using quite a sensitive deck to play test my records (a Pro-Ject Debut II). other turntables such as 1210s may not even register this skip.
i would grade a record in this condition as VG minus.
the sleeve has shelf wear and corner wear. it's fared pretty well considering it's age - graded as VG.
i ship worldwide - i have to assume that someone in Australia or South America *may* decide to bid on this item, hence the high quoted price.
i can give you an exact quote to your country so just ask.
all EU locations will be £12.30
record will only be sent sent via Tracked & Signed internationally and Signed For within the UK.
