Robert from Wanted-Records.com has been posting various Halloween-themed Daily Discoveries this month, such as the great Frankenstein Stomp a novelty Halloween 45. These daily discoveries inspired me to make a Halloween mix, so I invited him over last weekend to mix in some “creepy”-themed 45s with some LPs from my own vinyl collection (mostly children’s records, SFX and spoken-word LPs… Even a Nancy Reagan Reggae Re-Election single).
