Description
This is an original album from the 1960's entitled Dracula's Deuce by The Ghouls. I'm not familiar with this album, but according to some things I've read about it online:
The Ghouls were an in-studio-only creation of writer and producer Gary Usher, designed to cash in on two current crazes in 1964, hot rod tunes and campy monster movies. Bobby "Boris" Pickett had just hit big with "Monster Mash," so Usher -- who had tremendous success stamping out Beach Boys-like hot rod tracks -- decided to combine the two genres in one package, and the Ghouls were born. Officially one album, Dracula's Deuce, was issued on Capitol in 1964. Among the veteran L.A. session players Usher used on the project were Rick Burns, Chuck Girard, Joe Kelly and Richard Podolor, with Burns providing most of the lead vocals. Goofy and offbeat, the album is mostly a historical curio, but its cartoonish veneer, with songs like "Little Old Lady From Transylvania" and "Be True to Your Ghoul," gives it a special and loopy appeal.
The album is in fair shape. The cover has some wear, and the left edge has a split. There's also a stain on the lower right side of the back of the cover. The album itself looks pretty nice. There are three visible scratches, but not a whole lot of other scratches. The label color is nice and bright.
