Sounds to make you shiver

Cover design: Stuart Kloner

Most interesting about this is that this obscure kid’s sound effects record cover was adopted by the British ska band The Specials for the cover of their 7″ single, Ghost Town released in the UK on the Two Tone record label, catalogue number CHSTT17.

Side 1. Night in a haunted house Side 2. Witch laugh. Maniac at work. Screams. Screams and groans. Moans and groans….

This is the original on Soma Records out of Minneapolis (better known for garage band guitar hits like “Surfin Bird” by the Trashmen).   A Pickwick reissue with a cartoon illustration on the cover is common.
