Spook Along With Zacherley CD (1960)
 $11.59  
This album is as unique a piece of Americana as likely exists on compact disc. In the fervor of the 1960 national and regional elections, the Ted Bates advertising agency came up with a similar type of faux election platform for Artist. Artist's opening lines say it best: "You're horrid, you're ghastly and I love you true/So here are some presents I'm sending to you ." Although the copious use of ersatz pre-British Invasion rock & roll rhythms indicates that Spook Along With Artist was certainly marketed for a preteen audience, there is an ageless charm to the track "Artist for President" -- which made use of a book and poster set enclosed in the original packaging. In 1960, almost two years after moving to the Big Apple, the distinctly N.Y.C.-based Elektra Records label issued Spook Along With Artist. It does, however, include an essay from Chiller Theater's Kevin Clement. Artist's fame grew in the late '50s and '60s as the king of low-budget late-night horror movies on WCAU-TV in Philadelphia and then WABC-TV in New York City. The noir vaudevillian showmanship that endeared him to so many is evident throughout Artist's sinister plays on words. This was his first long-player, although Cameo Records had issued the 45 rpm "Dinner With Drac" -- featuring instrumentation by Dave Appell and the Applejacks. The opening tracks, "Coolest Little Monster" and "A Wicked Thought," make tremendous use of the verbal double play. Among his best-loved television programs are Artist at Large, Shock Theater, and perhaps his most notable, Chiller Theater. This is a great collection for all ages of nostalgia buffs, as well as something for your Halloween listening. The timeless appeal of the Artist character informs these somewhat silly compositions -- which are often recited more than sung, or at the very least have spoken introductions. Unfortunately, the 2001 CD reissue from Collectors' Choice does not include replicas of these extras.
