It has been a long time since we offered any audio around here, and I've had a pile of vinyl on my desk at home for some time. I am glad to report, I addressed the entire thing this past weekend, and we have several surprises coming up in the next five or so posts!
First up, this. An entire album where Boris Karloff reads Poe? Wait, though...it's not Poe. It's actually two stories by Washington Irving. But, it uses a Poe title, even though the two Washington Irving stories are often published together...okay. It's a bit confusing. So: an entire album where Boris Karloff reads Washington Irving? Yes, but there is still a downside. He is constantly interrupted by kitchy 1959-ish songs by "The Cricketone Chorus & Orchestra." (Cricket, by the way, actually being Pickwick, who would go on to crank out an endless supply of children's records for years.) Just so you know what you are getting!
The good news is, this is the most "normal" item that is going to appear in our upcoming audio offerings!
