[Green]","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Stereo: A Spooktacular in Screaming Sound is Spike Jones treating stereo speakers like a haunted house, monsters flying wall to wall on slime green vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJones had spent nearly two decades before this turning car horns, burps, and gunshots into a genuine musical language, but by 1959 he had a new toy to play with: stereo itself, still novel enough that most listeners had barely heard it done well. His arranger Carl Brandt described scoring the record like a film, built in pieces because the sound design was simply too complicated to cut any other way. The cast reads like a murderers' row of voice actors nobody could quite place at the time, Paul Frees, Thurl Ravenscroft, George Rock, and Lucille Norman all disappearing into ghouls and monsters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy Old Flame gets sung by a character credited only as I.M. Arson, which tells you exactly what kind of joke this record is. This Is Your Death turns Dr. Jekyll and a chorus of ghouls loose across the full stereo field, sound genuinely darting from speaker to speaker in a way nothing else at the time attempted, and the Spooktacular Finale throws every voice and gag into one last collision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSixty-five years later, the stereo trickery still lands. Monsters were good business in 1959. Turns out they still are.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51821155680561,"sku":"810075115673","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Spike_Jones-In_Stereo_A_Spook_Green.jpg?v=1787923190","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/spike-jones-in-stereo-a-spook","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
