Bobby “Boris” Pickett will, of course, always be most famous for THE MONSTER MASH, but he had a body of other work that has largely remained unknown.
This CD was a series of promotional 45’s (you can hear the crackles on some of the cuts) he did – alone and with partners. There is also unreleased stuff here and alternative “takes” on records he actually did release. The STAR DREK on here is NOT the one heard on the Dr. Demento Show.
As is suggested by the title, there really ARE treasures on this CD. I don’t know if this is still available or not; mine is numbered “10” out of “50” made, so I got in well under the wire.
Mr. Pickett died of Leukemia in 2008. He had just published his autobiography about his early days in Hollywood.
