YEAR: 2007
LABEL: Sony
TRACK LISTING: Hush Hush Hush (Here Comes the Boogie Man) - Henry Hall, It Must Be Swell - Alex Bartha & His Hotel Traymore Orchestra, Mr. Ghost Goes To Town - The Five Jones Boys, T'Ain't No Sin (To Take Off Your Skin) - Fred Hall, Ghost in the Graveyard - Prairie Ramblers, Ol' Man Mose - Wingy Mannone, The Ghost of Smoky Joe - Cab Calloway, Skeleton in the Closet - Putney Dandridge, The Ghost Walk - Borrah Minevich & the Harmonica Rascals, The Boogie Man - Todd Rollins with Chick Bullock, Hell's Bells - Art Kassel & His Orchestra, Mysterious Mose - Rube Bloom, Minnie the Moocher at the Morgue - Smiley Burnette, With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm - Rudy Vallee & His Connecticut Yankees
IMPRESSIONS: This is a really nice collection of Halloween songs which come from 78's. While there are a few duplications from the previous magnificent Jass Records cd HALLOWEEN STOMP (Cab Calloway's "The Ghost of Smoky Joe", "The Boogie Man" by Todd Rollins with Chick Bullock and Rudy Vallee's "With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm"), the interesting thing is that there are also songs here from HALLOWEEN STOMP but by different artists so you get another interpretation of STOMP classics like "Mr. Ghost Goes To Town", "Skeleton in the Closet", "Hell's Bells" and "Mysterious Mose".
MY FAVOURITE TRACKS: Hush Hush Hush (Here Comes the Boogie Man) - Henry Hall, Mr. Ghost Goes To Town - The Five Jones Boys, Ghost in the Graveyard - Prairie Ramblers, Ol' Man Mose - Wingy Mannone, The Ghost of Smoky Joe - Cab Calloway, The Skeleton in the Closet - Putney Dandridge, The Ghost Walk - Borrah Minevich & the Harmonica Rascals, The Boogie Man - Todd Rollins (with Chick Bullock), Mysterious Mose - Rube Bloom, Minnie the Moocher at the Morgue - Smiley Burnette, With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm - Rudy Vallee & His Connecticut Yankees
