This was a neat birthday gift from the Missus this Christmas just gone.
Right up my cobwebbed alley, it's a 1965 Americom cinefilm reel and record of the Curse of Frankenstein, an early Hammer horror from 1957.
Americom specialized in these reel and record sets - there's a list of titles they released in the 1960's on
the back of the sleeve.
The concept was simple. The record provided the sound as both record and film played at the same speed. Very clever.
As is often the case, one or the other is missing. I have the film reel but the record is AWOL.
I have tidied up the sleeve a little and stiffened the film 'box'.
A lovely thing all round.
You can get a feel for how it looked and sounded on You Tube here:
A mint one would look like this factory fresh example on Worthpoint.
Another example has the instructions, which were presumably tucked in somewhere. I don't have these either.
Americom released lots of titles in this format. I love the artwork.
A favourite is this Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea set. What an illustration!
Have you got any Americom or did you?
