Description
Here is a very rare promotional record from American International Pictures, promoting the classic horror/comedy "Bucket of Blood" (directed by the great Roger Corman), and "Attack of the Giant Leeches" (directed by Bernard Kowalski). Both movies were released in 1959, as was this record.
Markings in the dead wax are AIP 503 and Delta32255 (a-side) and AIP 504 and Delta 32256 (b-side). This record exists only as a promotional copy.
I don't know if Dr. Demento ever used this record, but it would have been perfect for him. Hallowe'en is coming!
Hear the a-side:
Hear the b-side:
These samples are from the record in the auction as played on my Dual 1229 turntable with a Shure V15-IV cartridge. Other than digitizing them into mp3 format, no filtering or other processing has been done.
I grade this record as NM. The record's surface has the full factory gloss. The labels have zero wear and are otherwise undamaged, but there is a slight storage warp that doesn't affect pay. The record plays fine, with a pop here and there, and a bit of crackle at the very beginning and end.
I believe this record was unplayed when I got it, and I've only played it a couple of times.
Thank you for looking, and good luck!
