When I was a mere lad, I purchased an Electric Lemon Record LP from Famous Monsters of Filmland's Captain Company: Poe With Pipes, narrated by John Carradine, with organ music by composer/musician/magician/mask maker/pro wrestler/circus clown Verne Langdon. (The LP jacket flaunted artwork by Ron [Alien] Cobb and liner notes by Forest J Ackerman.)
I revisited the 1975 album after rewatching the Carradine-hosted Gallery of Horror, as presented by Sally the Zombie Cheerleader's School of Horror (see May 25, 2026 post), since Carradine's erudite manner brought his excellent, audio achievement to mind.
The LP's haunting selections are listed below:
1) The Conqueror Worm
2) Ulalume
3) Annabelle Lee
4) The Sleeper (Irene)
5) The Raven
6) A Dream Within a Dream
I've inserted a link to this nostalgic specialty, as lifted from the audio channel, Weird Wax. Ah, Poe, Carradine, Langdon--what a perfect, album brew!💀
