Bob Mcfaddin & Dor - Songs Our Mummy Taught Us (Clear with Orange Pumpkin Swirl Vinyl)

What do Frankenberry, Richard Hell, a cat named Sloopy, and Bill Haley and His Comets have in common? You can find out with Real Gone Music andSecond Disc Records' first-ever reissue of the longlost Halloween classic Songs Our Mummy Taught Us!This one-of-a-kind, super-rare LP was the creation of voiceover artist Bob McFadden�best-known as the voice of Frankenberry, the Thundercats' palSnarf, Cool McCool, and countless others�and the mysterious Dor, otherwise known as singersongwriter (and America's best-selling poet!) RodMcKuen. Rock-and-roll and beat culture met horror headfirst on this off-the-wall album, with McFadden taking the role of a not-so-scary Mummy and McKuen voicing a blas� beatnik on its best-known song, the novelty hit The Mummy. According to McKuen, none other than Bill Haley's Comets played on the rocking track! But that's not all. McFadden's Mummy also put a new spin on Shake, Rattle, and Roll and Hound Dog, while McKuen's original song The Beat Generation would inspire Richard Hell's Blank Generation. Othersatiric targets on this frightfully fun LP include exotica (Noisy Village), surf music (Bingo, a riff on Tequila with McFadden as the bingo caller), and celebrity culture (The Beverly Hills Telephone Directory Cha-Cha-Cha). The original 1959 Brunswick album artwork has been meticulously recreated for this new reissue, and an insert features new liner notes by The Second Disc's JoeMarchese. It's all been remastered by Mike Milchner at SonicVision and pressed on clear with orange pumpkin swirl vinyl limited to 750 copies. To miss Songs Our Mummy Taught Us would be, well, a grave mistake!
