Welcome to Glenn Robison’s Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and ’30s.

This evening’s show features rapidly rotating records about ghosts, goblins, graveyards and ghouls. I’m pleased to report that all or very nearly all of the records on tonight’s special Halloween show are being played on the show for the first time.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Haunted
I think the studio is haunted, as evidenced by this first set, beginning with The Columbians.
