Can someone explain why there was a SYRINGE on the cover of this old sound effects LP? Like, did syringes used to make noise? And, if so, what kind of noise? I imagine a slide whistle, except instead of a "whoo-ooo-oop" it was more like the sound of people being tortured in hell. The cover of a sound effects record. Inexplicably, it has a syringe on it.
Oh, Dear God in Heaven, there were several of these records. Another sound effects record with a syringe on it. What the actual fuck?
OK, so this one is subtitled "doctored for super sound." I'm so confused right now. And also ready to create a graphic novel called "The Sound Effects Man," about a guy who kidnaps people, pushes syringes into them, records their screams, and then sells the LPs for $3.39. Another sound effects record with a syringe. This one says
Among the sound effects on this one, apparently was "dynamite blasting," "coal hoist winch room," "car cash," and "lawnmower." Why am I completely convinced that all of these sounds were recorded while people were being muuurrrdered? Yet another record with a syringe on it. This one has some green stripes, too.
Apparently, nothing says "have fun with sound effects" like a dog being choked. A sounds effects LP with a dog on it. The dog does not look happy. At all.
Um... what sound does a woman in pasties make, exactly? What the actual fuck was wrong with sound effects people back then? The cover of a sounds effects LP. This one has a few pictures on it, including one of a woman in pasties.
Here's the tracklist from that last LP. It does not appear that any of these tracks is a sound effect from a burlesque show. These people just wanted to put boobs on their album cover, and so they did.
The late 1950s and early 1960s were some strange fucking times.
This one, from the "Doctored For Super-Stereo" series in 1961, had such hilarious sound effects as "Russian Roulette." An LP cover featuring a guy in a bowler cap having something shot through his head. Dear God.
Are sound effect people still this dark? Inquiring minds.
