🦇 The First Theremin Era – The Barnabas Theme (Epic 5-10440, 1969) Radio Station Promo • 7" 45 RPM • Mono • Matrix JZSP 139926/139927
Straight from the crypt of late-'60s television mystique comes this rare radio station promo of The Barnabas Theme—a chilling instrumental masterpiece composed by Robert Cobert for the cult classic Dark Shadows. Played by The First Theremin Era, the A-side shimmers with eerie theremin wails and melancholic strings, summoning the brooding aura of vampire anti-hero Barnabas Collins.
Flip it over and plunge into “Sunset in Siberia,” a B-side cold enough to fog up your turntable, penned by the mysterious K. Legan. This promo pressing, identifiable by its monochrome label and stamped matrix numbers (JZSP 139926/139927), is a blood-red beacon for collectors of horror television ephemera and psych-exotica oddities.
Vinyl is in EXcellent condition housed in a generic white sleeve. A spooky slice of audio arcana, perfect for fans of theremins, fangs, and fog machines.
Summoned from the spectral heart of 1969 and never reissued, The Barnabas Theme by The First Theremin Era is a true phantom of the vinyl world. Crafted for radio station airplay during the eerie heyday of Dark Shadows, this rare mono single features Robert Cobert’s iconic theme as interpreted through shimmering theremin and moody orchestration—evoking gothic corridors and eternal midnight.
The flipside, Sunset in Siberia, swirls with icy psychedelia, delivering a B-side as haunting as the A. This is a first and only pressing, issued in limited quantities and long out of print.
Vinyl is EXcellent condition, housed in a generic/original sleeve. A must-have for collectors of horror ephemera, theremin oddities, and TV soundtrack treasures.
