Party for Your Right to Fright
The Bloody Dr. Shock “Let There Be Fright” Cougar Records Magician Joseph Zawislak created a persona based on Roland (with John Zacherle’s permission) and hit the Philadelphia airwaves on WPHL-TV in 1969. His first show lasted only 13 weeks but protests brought him back and a cult had begun. He was on three different shows during his reign: Scream-In, Mad Theater and Horror Theater. He also brought on his young daughter Bubbles, on the air and she grew up along with his fans. Unfortunately, Joe died in 1979 at the young age of 42 years old. Philly fans still hold a spot in their hearts for Dr. Shock and so do we.
Shout Sister Shout!
Brita Borg “Fat Mammy Brown” Knappup Records (Sweden) Right to the LPCL Hall of Frames from LP cover lover Peter in Sweden! “This is how Sweden was in the year of 1957. Britta Borg was a loved jazz singer with a very deep voice. I found this 45rpm in a junkstore and paid 50 cents. I have not seen it before. Have about 3000 Lp´s many bought just for the cover so my collection is quiet mad.”
