1958 Toho film "Bijo to Ekitainingen" (The H-Man) had some great music, besides a couple of classic vocals, there was also this awesome swingin' club scene, featuring some over the top drums, with a solo that's a cross between Gene Krupa & Animal & some funktastic twin saxes!! Damn! How was I to know there was a party going on?!!
Back to the beach in 1964 with The Del-Aires, and possibly the first doo-wop surf tune. We're getting into some serious crossover material here. Once again The Del-Aires prove how far ahead of the pack they were. Everything is still quite innocent at this point in the film, and we get a bit more comic relief before the horror starts up. "Joyride" (My name's not Johnny) from "The Horror Of Party Beach."
This one'll get ya, The opening from the 1965 Film, "Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster," A Bob Crewe production!!
This 1962 Danish Sci-Fi classic had a great song during the ending credits, sung by Otto Brandenburg that was cut from the original American release for some reason. "Journey To The 7th Planet" starred John Agar, the Danish version music was by Ib Glindemann, & the American version had music by Ron Stein!! Can't get enuf? Find a copy!
The house band from this 1959 film was The Renegades, and considering that Kim Fowley produced this record, it's no wonder they seem to have a pension for firing guns in the air, & everybody thinks it's cool & perfectly fine social behavior. From "Ghost Of Dragstrip Hollow," the Renegades here are doing a tasty little number called "Geronimo." Great band!!!
