 Classic Monster dance party LP "GHOUL MUSIC" (Featuring Frankie Stein and his Ghouls" (1965)
This is the STEREO version and the second of 5 albums released by Frankie Stein and his Ghouls on
POWER records. These albums are in GREAT shape and near-impossible to find in this condition usually.
I'm selling two of the other LPs in separate auctions this week. Below is a detailed write up and track listing
for this ground-breaking music series!

This LP has the most frightening cover. That horrifying white face, eyes wide in fright & that green claw digging its sharp nail into the eye socket, blood just starting to drip out of it. A horrifying painting & I really wish I knew who the artist was. Nowhere on the cover is a name but believe me, this image has been burnt in my gray matter for almost my entire life. Ever since I seen it displayed on the back of my first Frankie album I’ve wanted to have this one just for it’s cover. The title word Ghoul drips with green ooze above it & is very basic with a white background, again making that damn horrifying face just stand out even more. That’s all on this one, can’t look at it anymore.

1) What Kind Of Ghoul Am I (Mashed Potato) 2:44

Ah something fresh & new from Frankie. After something makes it’s way down the steps to our helpless damsel that sly beat kicks in. Trademark silverware, whizzys, a laugh & a boom are included inside.

2) Mummy’s Little Boy (Monkey, Twist) 2:38

Man is the opening of this pretty creepy, I still can’t get over that these were aimed for children. A cheerful ditty with some scary laughs & cries. Slap that bad monster!

3) Good Noose (Fox Trot) 3:08

A car crash? Do Ghouls drive? Well they certainly mumble in this bumpy tune. Slippy whizzys, silverware, & some cranks. It amazes me that the creator of these tunes just decided to add whatever sound effects wherever he wanted. That’s Frankie for ya!

4) The Wrist Twist (Twist) 2:22

Frankie says ‘Everybody twist’ & we do. Did we as little kids actually dance to these records back then? The thought of six or eight kids dancing away to this at a child’s birthday party really makes me wonder.

5) Shoot-A-Nanny (Swim, Surf) 2:00

Everything’s ducky with this cool little toe tapper. A really cool melody here & Mr. ducky dancing away!

6) Elbow Twist (Twist) 2:17

"Twist…Twist!…TWIST!!!!", and then that scream. Man, this is why I like Frankie. A cool boppin song here along with some twistin’ & a screamin’. A great one to drive along with with the windows down. Just watch those reactions.

7) Fly Me To The Goon (Hully Gully) 2:26

After a whistle & some silverware, this tune (I use that word a lot) sounds kind of like a Beach Boy hit throughout. Not to much added except a few whistles but still a kickin Frankie hit all the way! Where’s my surf board?

8) Chained (Swim) 2:26

Look out, a monsters getting loose! But after follows a basic Frankie Sax & guitar number. Cool but forgettable.

9) A Taste Of Poison (Surf)

Someone's gurgling down that poison throughout this smooth winner. With a harp lead with some booms, zips, & clangin silverware. Bubbly bubbly!

10) Monster Motion (Watusi)

Frankie ends this cool LP with a peaceful shakin ditty.   Starting with a bell, a scream that leads to some cool drumming & were on our way. Some cranks, pops, & even some very quiet singing (do do's). I love that moan that pops in now & then we get a nice little scream at the end.

This item will be shipped promptly and with utmost care to preserve the quality (buyer pays shipping)

Thanks for looking and good luck!
