Get shopping quick as only 666 eerie copies of the 7″ have been pressed and I’ve already purchased two of them.

Amongst horror legends Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, Roy Castle plays a Jazz musician in Dr Terror’s House of Horrors, a cult British flick from 1965. Travelling to the West Indies he attends a Voodoo ceremony and on return to Blighty he reworks the rhythms he heard. Dire consequences for the characters follow but delight for Jazz fans. Aiding the actors are Tubby Hayes’ Quintet, and though Castle could play trumpet he merely mimed in the film, with the recordings tooted by the far superior Shake Keane. In the following clip, the song at 6:40 has become a holy grail recording for UK Jazz collectors. Finally it is available, yet another miraculous release on Trunk Records.
