A fictional studio creation designed to profit off the "Monster Kid" generation of the early 1960's. The Frankie Stein formula was as simple as it was brilliant; cool low budget horror cover art, creepy sounding song names with a suggested dance listing after the title ("Hully Gully, Frug"), and spooky sound effects laid on top of the actual music (which was a potpourri of twist & beat numbers that sometimes had frightful compositional overtones & sometimes didn't).
Track from: Frankie Stein And His Ghouls – Shock! Terror! Fear! Label: Power Records – 339 Format: Vinyl, LP, black label Country: US Released: 1965 Style: Surf, Rock & Roll, Novelty, Swing, Twist
