Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids "Halloween" (Kid Stuff, 1980)

Ahh, the respected Kid Stuff label! Home to previous Scar Stuff fave Pink Panther Punk (not to mention the These Records Are Bent champ "Pinball Wizard and other Elton John Hits", and the amazing "Mostly Ghostly" LP of sound effects, some of which is being shared by Cake & Polka Parade -- I'll post the rest eventually if no one else jumps on it first), the label simply exudes cheapness with its expediently produced cash-in product.

To wit: this 22 minute Fat Albert album that would seem to merely be a vinyl pressing of the soundtrack to a TV show. No extra narration, no real attempts to place the story in a non-visual context (you could argue that the LPs that correspond to the Peanuts TV specials at least gave it a shot for example), just a steady stream of "hair-raising sound effects" for that ol' theatre of the mind.

And hey, you just might learn something too!
