The Tomko's - The Spook



For many a year now I've had the (un)pleasure to have lunch with Deacon Brimstone as we work in the same "Hell Hole" and since we found out early on that each of us play in a band and each of us have this strange affliction.... Vinyl addiction. We've always sorta "hung out" together even taking 1/2 a day off yesterday and do some vinyl digging round the northern tip of NJ... (Gonna post my scores later if i can find the time)

And while we don't see eye to eye on many issues one of the things we always agree on is "Monster" records and our love of them.

When we started hanging out and talking records i realized i had a lot of catching up to do in the monster record category. See, his Monster collection is pretty impressive and i started trying to find as many as i could to fill my voids. And here is one that has avoided me for many a years until i stumbled upon this rare gem in a lot of six 60's "Pop" records. A bid later and a few dollars i scored the lot and waited anxiously for my records to arrive.

Well here it is:

I don't know much about "The Tomko's" maybe Mr. Brimstone can chime in on that but i do know this is a pretty wild and "spooky" 45. Screams, howls, cries, wind & wailing and screeching sax and some insane laughter make this a real nutty rocker!

So strap yourself in on this beautiful Saturday afternoon for a wild fun-house type ride!!!

Enjoy!

A tip of the old bean to Mr. Devil. Don't know much about the Tomkos. I do know the record is from 63' and was issued under the same catalog number (5003) w/ two different flips - Spook pt 2 & Carol (Instro)
