The 1959 cult classic Spike Jones in Stereo: A Spooktacular in Screaming Sound! returns, newly remastered on CD and slime-green vinyl. Featuring comic-horror vocals from Paul Frees, Thurl Ravenscroft, George Rock, and Lulie Jean Norman, the album pushed early stereo to its limits with Jones’ trademark mix of gunshots, honks, and musical madness.
With fresh liner notes by Joe Marchese—including interviews with Spike’s children Leslie Ann Jones, Spike Jones Jr., and Linda Lee Jones—the reissue celebrates the enduring influence of Jones, praised by Dr. Demento and “Weird Al” Yankovic alike. Nearly 50 years since its last LP release, the Spooktacular remains as funny, inventive, and spooky as ever.
