VA - Very Scary Cemetery EP (1985)

I bought this 7" for cheap over the long weekend, so I figured I'd throw it on here since I just posted "Hollow Weiners". Same idea, a bunch of local rockabilly-type fuck bands doing Halloween themed songs. There's no insert or recording info, so I don't know about any of these bands at all. The only info I could find was a track listing on Discogs, which may or may not even be correct. According to that page, the first song is called 'My Dead Son', but to me it sounds more like 'My Dead Zoo'. So I'm going with that, fuck it.
1. DIG MA'S GRAVE - My Dead Zoo
2. HARD ON - Trick Or Treat
3. NANCY'S NIGHTMARE - Nancy's Nightmare
4. FRANK FRINKERSTEIN - Haunted House
5. COUNT BARKULA AND THE EAST VANPIRES - East Vanpires

  2. Track listing is out of whack here. "Trick Or Treat" is the name of the Hard On track. The Frank Frinkerstein (aka the Frank Frink Five) track should be "Haunted House" the odl Gene Simmons (no not that Gene Simmons) 50's rockabilly track. Correct that the Dig Ma's Grave (the Enigmas in disguise) track is "My Dead Zoo". The Count Barkula & The East Vanpires (aka the Scissors) track is called, I believe, simply "East Vanpires"

    This was indeed a follow-up production to the 1984 "Hollow Weiners" all done at the long-gone Profile Studios (which used to be at Commercial St. where the diversion heads to become Victoria Dr.) No doubt that Billy Barker & Ray Fulber of the Scissors likely produced this. Would bet Don Ramos did some of the recording and engineering... and possibly Cecil English, too.

    That's about as much as I can tell you. I still have the original vinyl copies of both EPs.

    Cheers,
    Jellybean Beaudine (Frank Frink Five)
