Ghost Stories

This one came with a “magic witches wand” that glows in the dark. I like the simple, childlike illustration on the cover. Kind of an unusual one for collectors of all things “monster,” “horror,” “witchcraft,” etc.

Our friend Jerome in France sent this.   It was his first record ever.   Circa 1966.   He said his mom got it for him at around age three.   I think my first single was “King of the Road” – maybe the same year!   What was yours?
