Monster Rally (1959)

Back cover copy: The word that best describes this album is Inevitable. Popular songs have always been a particularly sharp mirror of the times. And these, let’s face it, have been monstrous times. Paul Bunyan and Davy Crockett have been replaced, as folk heroes, by Count Dracula and Dr. Frankenstein’s creation. As if we didn’t have enough with these traditional favorites, the space age has opened up a whole new field for monsters, and every planet seems to breed its own brand.
