Real Gone Music is reissuing 1964's "The Munsters," containing music from and inspired by the TV show, on Sept. 7. You can pre-order from Amazon via the links below.
Details:
Did you know Herman, Grandpa, Lily, Marilyn and Eddie Munster doubled as
a rock and roll band?! Well, despite the subhead on the album
proclaiming them as “The Newest Teen-Age Singing Group,” they didn’t…but
that didn’t stop the label execs at Decca Records from trying to cash
in on the new CBS hit TV show! Veteran producers Joe Hooven and Hal Winn
had the good sense to hire the Wrecking Crew (most notably Glen
Campbell and Leon Russell) to play this surf-tinged set of songs, and
brought in The Go-Go’s (nope, not those Go-Go’s, they were just out of
diapers…this was a male vocal trio that cut one LP for RCA back in 1964,
the same year this record came out) to sing the lyrics to such gems as
“You Created a Monster” and “Make It Go Away.” The whole thing is a
hoot, and a highly collectible hoot at that—original copies of this
album command “monstrous” sums! Aaron Kannowski remastered our reissue,
and for its CD debut, we’ve added ghoulish photos and liner notes by
Bill Kopp that reveal the frightening facts behind the recording of this
record. Even better, for its first-ever vinyl reissue, we’ve pressed up
a limited edition of 800 copies in “Herman” green vinyl…get ready to do
the Munster creep this Halloween and beyond!
