Mister Rogers Talks About Dinosaurs and Monsters (Full Length Feature) (1979) (1986)
Here is one for you nostalgia buffs like me for HALLOWEEN! I used to watch Mr. Rogers show with Sesame Street and Electric Company on TV in the pre-kindergarten years so looking at it now after sooooo many years was a cool treat for me. I have a Mr. Green Jeans VHS rip I did as well but not related to the holiday like this one is so maybe later. Enjoy! https://gofile.io/d/RBInqa
THE GHOUL BROTHERS - Ghoul Days LP 84
REPOST Request: Thanks to Stevo for this request as it was hidden away on a post from May 2018 and certainly needs to shine in the Halloween holiday!!
SS-20 - Secta Suicida Siglo 20 LP 89
REPOST Request: Thanks to original contributor TONYO and Mark Underground for this rare Mexican punk band release. Per the comment, not too many made vinyl but his favorites were Atoxxxico, Sedicion and Masacre 68 to help start your search. This one here is pretty good!

The Story Of Frankenstein, Dracula and The Wolfman - Sellthrough Entertainment-Tampa
Three of my old favorites...should be interesting. The fourth track are spooky sounds...HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! https://gofile.io/d/DXSHEH
Blockbuster Video Store Exclusive A Collection Of Spooky Sounds And Scary Theme Songs CD 97
HAPPY HALLOWEEN: Gosh, I miss those old VHS stores and even more knowing they did things like this on the holidays!! Simple instrumental moody theme music for this Saturday.
UNKNOWN SOLDIERS - 7 87 w st LP 89 w Ambulance LP 90
THE DOORS - st CD 67 88 w Strange Days CD 67 85 w The Soft Parade CD 69 85 w Morrison Hotel CD 70 85 w L.A. Woman CD 71 85 w Absolutely Live! 2LP w Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine 2CD 72 w The Best Of The Doors 2CD 85
Couldn't believe I found all these CD's at the Good Will! My older cassette-only brother had all the studio albums except 'Waiting on the Sun' which also was absent in the bins where I found these. But that's O.K. as is the worst received of their albums and I pieced together 5 of the 11 missing songs having just got the Weird scenes 3 songs today online so thanks to that blog. Eventually my brother gave me his cassettes in grade school and I really got to know and love the band. Recently I have found the double live and ripping it last weekend heard it for the first time...WOW!! Each band member takes their turn during a few songs doing outrageous wild solos and the whole thing is a top live album!! Just wish I had the other two live albums shown but the CD was empty (I think those Good Will regulars at lunch break steal the Cd's and leave the cases behind) but at least can see the songs. I had never heard the 'Unknown Soldier" from WFTS 68 album so am lumping with that band above for a theme!

THE WORLD - Break The Silence LP 83
Some modern sounding new wave that ain't half bad like Modern English for example.
VA - Attack Of The Killer B's LP 83
Thanks to Antonio over at the Rocket Star record store for letting me 'rip and return' this one. Includes: Marshall Crenshaw, Pretenders, The Blasters, Ramones, John Hiatt, Roxy Music, Peter Gabriel, The Time, Talking Heads, Gang of Four, T-Bone Burnett and Laurie Anderson. Great rare songs!
ENIGMA 2 - The Cross of Changes CD 93
PLEASE SEARCH ABOVE FOR MORE and ADD ON: This is really cool for those Fall seasonal drive as I was just listening to it for the first time today on lunchbreak and it is very cool!!!
Maiden Of Mysteries - The Music of Enya perf. by The Taliesin Orchestra CD 98
Well at least on this tribute there is only one band covering all ENYA songs. A good find at Good Will.
VA - KMFDM - LIGHT CD 94
MARILYN MANSON - LEST WE FORGET THE BEST OF CD 04
Awesome to find this one at Good Will around this time of year especially. I saw them open for Nine Inch Nails back in 2003 on a business trip to Tulsa, OK in a stockyard dirt floor rodeo house. Of course, you must have heard their cover of the Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams (are made of this)' in many movies. Enjoy!
Type O Negative - Slow, Deep And Hard CD 91w Dead Again CD 07
I borrowed A.J. out in U.K.'s recent rip from TÉAMA Ó CHÁRTAÍ BREATAINE blog of the 1991 CD and added the 2007 Good Will find. Hanx Man!!! https://gofile.io/d/bNrOzI
FIRST CHOICE - armed and extremely dangerous LP 73
One I've had for a long time in my collection but never listened to before. Opens with a kind of funny song 'Smarty Pants" (I haven't heard that name in a long time) then covers Al Green's 'Love and Happiness' very well. Somehow the title track reminds me of the old disco hit 'Dangerous Dan'.
Mike Settle - st LP 71
Another sent in post from E.W. (thanks man!) that I tried to fix up a little. Better known while with Kenny Rodgers and the First Edition but began his long career with the New Christy Minstrels.

SIMPLY RED - A New Flame CD 89
I'm sure I have another one from this band somewheres. From Good Will like all the CD's this week.
THE PROCLAIMERS - Sunshine On Leith CD 88
Surely you have heard opener track "I'm Gonna Be"...one of those 500 miles, 800 miles kind of songs.
trippin' with HOWLIES CD 09
Just opened this Good Will find in order to record it so not sure what it is like.
VA - STONE FREE CD 93 - A TRIBUTE TO JIMI HENDRIX
I had found just the CD in one of the Good Will bins, features: The Cure, Eric Clapton, Spin Doctors, Buddy Guy, Body Count, Jeff Beck and Seal, Nigel Kennedy, Pretenders, P.M. Dawn, Slash and Paul Rodgers with the Band Of Gypsys, Belly, Living Colour, Pat Metheny and M.A.C.C.
THE COOLIES Present Doug - A Rock Opera And Comic Book LP 88 w dig...LP 86 w EP
REPOST Request: This band is pretty cool with their concept vinyl like the first one I just got that is all covers or the one I had posted before a rock opera about 'Doug'--a non-racist skinhead.
The Ferrets - 7 85 w Angry Young Ferrets LP 87
REPOST Request: A cool paisley underground band. What I wrote before: Wonder if these guys read the Simpsons TV Series creator Matt's old comic strip that we used to read in our local Twin Cities Weekly Reader and also in our old local punk fanzine "Your Flesh" called "Life In Hell"that featured one ear rabbits and ferrets! https://gofile.io/d/LduqDu
BLUE HIPPOS - st EP 86 w Forty Forty LP 87 w Open Mind CD 89
REPOST Request: Features the guitarist from Otto's Chemical Louge doing vocals also. Back in the day, Otto's had a rep for having a smokin' guitarist who played like Jimi Hendrix so this band we already made room for so Osby could have his headline. First EP they cover a Husker Du outtake.

INTRUDERS - SUPER HITS LP 73
REPOST Request: Thanks to Antonio at Rocketstar Record store for letting me rip and return this one.
THE ARCHIES - Greatest Hits LP 69
Well since I am covering the Happy Days and Twist below, I decided to finally pull this one out too.
FATS DOMINO - Blueberry Hill LP
Including this above the 'Twist' theme below because Chubby Checkers also does 'Blueberry Hill'. This is a great album with 'Ain't That A Shame' and reminded me about the old days of watching the 'Happy Days" TV show and how Richie and the gang all loved Fats and tried to mimic he singing style.
KING CURTIS COMBO - Arthur Murray's Music For Dancing The Twist LP
REPOST Request: Here we have the King Curtis Combo for part two of the Twist theme.
MARLENE DIETRICH - The Best Of LP 73
Such a classic singer from the old days! I had posted a video clip of her 'Jonny' song which is on this.
Robert Calvert - Captain Lockheed and The Starfighters LP 74
This one was snatched from my grab in a record store a few years ago as the clerk said it was already ordered on line so when I saw it on a blog recently I had to get it. Just look at who is involved!
HARLEQUIN - Victim Of A Song LP 79 w Love Crimes LP 80 w One False Move LP 82
REPOST Request: Great Canadian Hard Rock Band!!!!
