Monster Rap / Frankenstein 1984 7"

This split single welds Bobby "Boris" Pickett's 1984 "Monster Rap," a sequel to "Monster Mash," the Karloff-and-Lugosi novelty voice that rode to number one on the Hot 100 back in October 1962, against a rap-edited cut of "Frankenstein," the instrumental that made The Edgar Winter Group's name and topped the same chart in 1973. Pickett spent his whole career working that one monster voice like a man who found a grave he liked and kept digging. Reservoir Recordings handles the pressing.
