Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House (1979 version)

Note: I'm avoiding mention of the "D" word because "D" has been known to get upset about sharing even their most inane and well out of print products.



For some reason, the 1979 version of this record, which is completely different visually and sound-wise from the much more popular orange/white 1964 version, is much harder to find a download of, even one for purchase. So here it is. I was reluctant to upload it because my copy has a big chip in it on the side, though it doesnt' seem to cut off anything too significant. Still, if anyone has a higher quality upload of this I'd appreciate a link.


EDIT: Thanks to darylbrownell for providing a link to a cassette version of this record:

[tape version]

EDIT 2: Above link is down. Thank the feds for that one.

    I downloaded this album via a recently uploaded torrent. It's a cassette rip, 320kbps MP3, with all artwork included. All credit goes to the original ripper, encoder and uploader.

    Awesome blog, by the way! Keep uploading those albums...I'm starting to accumulate a wickedly long playlist for Halloween.

    And holy crap, either that insert was a bootleg or they jsut did a really poor job making it, ahahaha. Everything's jsut lazily stretched; they didn't even bother to get rid of the background when they flipped the title for the spine, lol! A good rip but I"ll be damned if the tape itself wasn't faked.

    ANd thanks again, in case my first comment doesn't get through

    Glad I could help! Hopefully they'll come out with an iTunes release of this, like they did with the original 1964 version. Until then...this is the best we'll get.

    I can't believe I sold my original tape of this years ago. D'oh!
