This just in: “Wilde, Oates & Walter” from Lemoncat and a cool vinyl-centric site called Grooves of Delight.
Brother from another planet
“My Favorite Martian” Starring Ray Walston (and Bill Bixby) “The Martian Song” b/w “When I Was a Boy On Mars. A Little Golden Record This was one of my favorite TV shows as a kid (along with “My Three Sons,” “Mr. Ed,” “Flipper,” “Gentle Ben,” etc, etc.) I liked when the attenae would go up from his head when he was going to use his extra-terrestrial powers. Nearly twenty years after “My Favorite Martian,” (1963-1966 on CBS, Sunday nights after “Lassie”), Ray reached a new generation of fans as the memorable Mr. Hand in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”.
A parting shot

(1964) Gene Barge (Sax (Alto), Baby Face Willette (Organ), Jerold Donavon (Drums), Ben White (Guitar) Esmond Edwards (Producer), Ron Malo (Engineer), Don Bronstein (Design), Don Bronstein (Cover Photo) His masterpiece, and one of the greatest Hammond organ albums ever, is his Blue Note release “Face to Face.” This is his second LP for Argo and his last as a leader. Baby-Face soon after disappeared and, while unconfirmed, is said to have passed away in 1971.
The Devil’s Hand
The Theme from “The Devil’s Hand” Original Soundtrack on Chess Records. (1962)
A beside-the-point Batman connection: Neil Hamilton (the ironic police commissioner in the BATMAN TV show) is highly amusing here as Mr. Lamont, a bloodthirsty devil figure extraordinaire. He runs a creepy doll shop during the day, but holds satanic blood rituals in the back room at night!
