This odd record from 1959 was a sequel to the album "Shock". I don't have that one, but I was going to find somebody that did and link to it here. Unfortunately the couple of places that showed having it are no longer available. If anybody has a working link for it, please let me know and I'll add that link here.
**UPDATE! You can download "Shock" at misterlesterkeen's blog. Right here to be exact. Thanks, misterlesterkeen!**
Anyway, this album from the Creed Taylor Orchestra features strange instrumental bits (some with a little talking as well) of some unusual and scary situations. The back cover has a story for each song, so I've included a copy of the back cover above (as well as on the uploaded zip file) to give you a bit of an idea on what's going on here. I apologize that the back cover didn't really print well here. If you click on the picture it gets bigger, and (with Firefox at least) a magnifying glass comes up that blows it up even bigger. I really don't know what else to tell you here, other than to download it and enjoy, remembering that the name of this blog is "Way Out Stuff" and I think this fits the bill!
Here's the track list:
- You're Driving Me Crazy
- The Prison Break
- The Operation
- Wreck of Old '97
- Out of This World
- Lion Act
- Heartaches
- Rain
- Alpine Honeymoon
- A Shot in the Dark
- The Fastest Gun
- No Smoking
Hi monsterwax!
ReplyDeleteI fixed the link. I had had some power problems and thought both of yesterday's files had uploaded properly, but it turns out they didn't. They're both good now.
Do you have the other two albums on a blog? If so, I'll be happy to point everybody to it. Otherwise, let me know if you want me to share them here.
Thanks!

I didn't see monsterwax's comment before, but I posted Shock on my blog (misterlesterkeen.blogspot.com).
ReplyDeleteThanks, misterlesterkeen! I updated the entry to link to your blog. And monsterwax, if you still want to make "Nightmare" available to complete the set, that would be swell!

I already had a "Shock" zip in my files. I'm wondering if it's the same. Not even sure where I got it from. The first Shock zip I have has 30 tracks repeated twice for some reason. Wonder if they're the same. As of yet I haven't downloaded misterlesterkeen's zip to chekc the two against each other. Thanks for these LPs.

Well. The two are not exactly the same. I guess the first Shock zip has some added tracks. The first 12 are identical, but then it has 18 more after that. Hmm.
ReplyDeleteWell, I just ripped the Shock album yesterday, but it's from a CD I picked up (when CDs of that sort of thing were popping up on dubious labels a few years back). It's also got "The Best Of Panic" and "Nightmare" on it, but since Tony only mentioned Shock, I just pulled those tracks. The CD has 30 tracks (12 from Shock, 6 from Panic, 12 from Nightmare). It was on "Fear Records."
ReplyDeleteGah! I'm sorry Tony -- I just saw this now after posting my own rips of the same albums. Ah well, everyone will have PLENTY of chances to grab these now I guess, huh? Looks like I need to search around more before I post!
ReplyDeleteUh, my "Panic" came from a mono copy -- maybe THAT'S different at least? Heh.
