Done some updates to the text above. It should be correct. I'm a bit uncertain about the Sister Lud part however. But likely he just made up a name that rhymes with blood.

Another nice cut of this is the one he did for GG's.

some additional information:
Barnabas Collins was produced by Leon Synmoie for Thrillseekers in 1977. When it became a hit GG pressed and distributed it for them because they couldnt handele it. For his own advance GG then 'forgot' to mention the real producers credits on both the 12 inch and the lp..

The SO1 remake was recorded in the 90s.


ps. Johnny Depp played Tonto in The Lone Ranger and Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows, now that is spooky

Thanks for the help with this!! Much appreciated!!

Nice little interview with Lone Ranger talking about how the song Barnabas Collins came about, living in England and watching the show Dark Shadows.

Take Care!!

Fantastic, Matthew! This made me smile. I would love to see more comic adaptations of dj lyrics. Certainly some Early B lyrics would translate equally well.

Superb job Matthew!

[Survival]

Awesome!
And kalcidis, thanks for the lyrics^

[Franco Nero]
