HALLOWWEEN

VA - Halloween Nuggets, Monster Sixties a Go-Go [2014] (3 x CD's)

An ambitious and lovingly compiled 3 CD box set for fans of obscure 60s vintage Halloween themed novelty rock 'n' roll. While the 98 tracks of this box set are mostly from the 60's in origin, there is a decent sampling of late 50's material as well. The set also contains audio from horror movie trailers or dialogue snippets.

Stellar audio on an incredible collection of rarities. Most tracks are from the 60's with some late 50's tracks appearing. Since production notes/credits are non-existent in this otherwise beautifully packaged set, I'll give kudos to listed compiler James Austin for a nice job in selection and sequencing the tracks. The only other credit listed in the package is Jerry Peterson who is responsible for the mastering. The audio is a sheer delight sounding clean but authentic. I've got other "rare" compilations that were mastered from original 45's and they sound like it (or sound compressed from some type of noise filtering process). The audio restoration on this set is phenomenal. Puts me in mind of the always incredible audio work done by ACE Records in Great Britain. Tracks appear in (original) stereo and mono mixes. There are 98 tracks in the collection with most of the three discs running each 70 minutes. Perfect companion for celebrating the Halloween Season!  Great for Halloween parties or everyday rush and ghoul, you will scream and shriek at the content. Rare movie trailers, and 45 B-sides! Can't go wrong, get this before it becomes history. (Amazon)

Not just for Halloween music. Great obscure as heck tracks! This should be a must have box set for anyone who likes garage music from the 1960’s. Has more obscure tracks than most boring Halloween compilation sets. It’s crazy fun!
