Vincent Price - Witchcraft-Magic: An Adventure In Demonology [2LP]Limited Black Brick 'Gates Of Hell' Vinyl, Deluxe Edition, Numbered, Booklet
Limited Edition Black Brick "Gates Of Hell" Double Colored Vinyl!
First Reissue in Over 50 Years!
One of the Most Sinister, Unsettling & Captivating Spoken Word Records Ever!
Complete with 8-Page Sorcery Textbook & How-To Manual!
This is going to be the scariest spoken word record you've ever heard. We're not joking…and neither is Vincent Price. The star of such horror classics as House of Wax, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, and Theatre of Blood (and, of course, narrator of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video) can barely hide his delight while he takes his audience through a graphic and occasionally grisly history lesson in witchcraft from the Bible through the Middle Ages, the Spanish Inquisition, and Nazi Germany. Then, accompanied by occasional eerie, abstract electronic music, Price's sinister satisfaction only mounts as he provides instruction in the dark arts, with such tracks as "How to Make a Pact with the Devil" and "Curses, Spells, Charms." It's all in good fun, of course…or is it? The mysterious writer of the script, one Terry d'Oberoff, has only one other credit to his name: as the "mascot" of an early '70s band called…wait for it…Black Magic.
This 1969 double-LP release has long been coveted by collectors of the curious and macabre, and for its first reissue in over 50 years, it gets the Real Gone treatment, reproducing the gatefold jacket and the full-size, 8-page booklet that accompanied some copies. It's a combination history textbook and how-to manual in witchcraft, with a title page depicting a particularly unsettling spell called "The Hand of Glory" involving the severed, salted, and dried hand of a convicted felon. Real Gone Music are releasing this one-of-a-kind album on clear with orange "pumpkin" swirl vinyl.
Happy Halloween.
