I have this "45 also,it's one of my prized collectable's, I bought it back in '65 when I found it in (of ALL place's) a furniture store in Cleve, Ohio. Those were the days. Thanks.

@wolfmantip What a great memory. In a furniture store in Cleveland.....that's the the last place I'd expect to find this record.

@Cyrusl99 The flip is a throw-away instrumental entitled, 'The Yule-tide Jerk'.

Thanks for the nice diversion there! Lon was in Of Mice And Men with Burgess Meredith on t v today as well.

@quieterrps I wonder if Lon Chaney, Jr. ever regretted playing all of the monsters. It somewhat typecasted him. Still, he did plenty of work after those thrillers.

[quieterrps]

@reichardtaj That he was able to be so successful at all after his father's amazing career must have been some consolation. Fred Gwynne unfortunately had a much tougher row to hoe ~ tougher shoes to vacate rather than fill!

Again, thanks for posting that. Have a great week!
