Post by Victrolacollector »

As Halloween approaches, I was wondering what Halloween themed records come to mind?

Here's a Ray Noble recording, a little bit bizarre but certainly a Halloween match:

ps.: Thanks for the the Skeleton Rag link, it appears to be the Victor version. It is very close to the cylinder but quite slower, very interesting!
