The late, great Spike Jones’ side-splittingly spooky 1959 album In Stereo: A Spooktacular in Screaming Sound! returns from Omnivore Recordings in time for Halloween as freshly remastered from the original tapes. Featuring a company including Paul Frees (Boris Badenov, The Haunted Mansion’s Ghost Host), Thurl Ravenscroft (“You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” Tony the Tiger), Loulie Jean Norman (Star Trek), and George Rock (“All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth”), the Spooktacular became a favorite of the likes of Dr. Demento and “Weird Al” Yankovic. Omnivore’s reissue offers new liner notes by TSD’s Joe Marchese, drawing on interviews with Spike’s children. Available on CD and LP. As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
