Like coming home!, 12 Mar 2005
Listening to this soundtrack is quite a lot like coming home! I remember as a kid, running home after school to watch the television show Dark Shadows (1966-71) with my sister. She bought this album, in record form, and here it is again in CD form. As an added bonus, the album has two extras: a 27-minute radio interview (with Jonathan Frid (who played Barnabas Collins), Grayson Hall (Julia Hoffman), Roger Davis (Peter Bradford), Humbert Allen Astredo (Nicholas Blair), Robert Rodan (Adam) and Donald Briscoe (Tom Jennings and others)), and a 12-minute radio interview with David Selby (Quentin Collins).This is a great album with a lot of memories attached. For me, the big question is, would I enjoy just listening to this album for itself, or is it just mood music? The answer is that these tunes are all quite nice, and I enjoyed listening to this album over and over again. I must say, though, that if you are going to do this, you might want to program your player to skip the interviews. So, overall I thought that this is a great album, and a great buy. I highly recommend it!
