THE GHOULS
" Dracula´s Deuce "
Germany / Australien - original LP 1965 !
( Label: California ST-2215 ) ( Cover: Capitol-EMI ST 2215 )
Diese Platte wurde in Australien gepresst und mit einem Deutschen Cover versehen, kam nur so in den Handel, eine Deutsche Pressung gab es nie ! Das Glanzcover ist typisch für die Deutsche EMI in den 60er Jahren !
Eine brilliante LP, für Sammler von “exotischen Platten”, stilistisch zwischen Surf / Instrumental und Beat, mit teils obskuren Texten und tollem Gesang ! Hier spielt die creme de la creme der amerikanischen Session – Musiker der Westküste ! Vocal – Passagen klingen teilweise wie BEACH BOYS oder Jan & Dean, so z.B. „Little Old Lady From Transylvania“ ( “Little Old Lady From Pasadena” ). Die beste Beschreibung und alle wichtigen Infos liefert die von Sammlern gemachte Seite im Netz: http://www.pipeline.moonfruit.com Hier als Zitat entliehen:

“DRACULA’S DEUCE (Capitol Records T/ST-2215) November 1964 ***
Dracula’s Deuce / Dracula’s Theme / Little Old Lady From Transylvania / Weird Wolf / Be True To Your Ghoul
Shake Rattle & Rot / Monsterbilly Heaven / Blood & Butter / The Graveyard Shift
VooDoo Juice / Bela Be Good / Coffin Nails
Quite what inspired this weird and wacky collection to see the light of day remains unclear, although one suspects that the 1960’s craze for tacky teen-horror flicks, and the recent successes of Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett’s “Monster Mash”, planted the initial seed of inspiration into the furtive mind of Capitol producer Jim Economides, who once again turned to Gary Usher and his ever reliable team to produce the goods.
A number of the tracks are clearly take-offs on more familiar releases, with Jan & Dean, The Beach Boys and Chuck Berry all being the recipient of reworked versions of their songs, whilst five of the twelve offerings are the standard album-filling instrumentals, mostly from the pick of Richie Podolor, with the grave-diggin’, surf-styled “Voo-Doo Juice” (featuring the fretwork of Glen Campbell) being the standout cut from these. Hondells touring leader Dick Burns steps up to the microphone to handle the lead on all of the vocal tracks, with his hilarious Pickett-styled delivery (that’s Bobby ‘Boris’ – not Wilson !) bringing a unique touch to each number, ably accompanied on two of the songs by the tender tones of Darlene Love and Jackie Ward. Chuck Girard also makes his regular appearance at an Usher session by contributing alongside Burns to “Bela B Goode” – which Usher recalled as an ‘interesting moment’ due to the increasing rivalry between the two, brought on by Girard proving all of the lead vocals to the Hondells studio recordings (note: refer to Stephen McParland’s 4-volume biography on Gary Usher for full details on the story of the Usher/Hondells sessions). One further noteworthy moment came about during the session when the line-up also attempted a Beatles rewrite, wonderfully entitled “I Want To Hold Your Neck”, but sadly that idea never saw completion …
An interesting, if non-essential addition to the ‘hot-rod’ culture, with the overall ‘feel’ of the release very much in line with Usher’s more recognisable work with the Hondells, Superstocks et al – but this one can always raise a smile each time the needle touches down into the first groove …”
