about

Every town has an Elm Street.. And NOW your digital collection can have one too!!

No screamin' while the bus is in motion, only DANCING TO THE BLOODY BEATS OF FREDDY KRUEGER!! Hmmm....

Perfect for any Halloween party...

Don't forget your Power Glove, because with THIS psychotic collection, you'll be PLAYING WITH POWER!!!

"Originally released in 1987 at the height of the 'Freddy' craze (Freddy already had three movies under his belt, and a fourth on the way. Even by then, he was a veritable pop icon, as Americana as hot dogs). This record contains nine tracks, a mix of covers (from the likes of Wilson Pickett, The Everly Brothers, Sam the Sham and The Pharaohs) and original songs and instrumentals. The album is everything you expect it to be: screaming '80s drum machines and distortion filled electric guitars being drowned out by synthesizers. Over the top of these songs is Robert Englund doing the voice (and manic laugh) of Freddy Kruger. The actual music-making was done by the Elm Street Group, who were much respected studio musicians working for RIC records. Featuring artists like Kevin Kelly and Alan Brewer who both contributed to Rick Wakeman's soundtrack for THE BURNING."

"Freddy's Greatest Hits is a novelty album from a group called The Elm Street Group featuring Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund). Although it's titled Freddy's Greatest Hits, Freddy only has a few lines through each song and rarely sings any lines. Released by RIC Records on vinyl LP and cassette, this album contains nine tracks, a mix of cover and original songs and instrumentals. This is not an affiliated with New Line Cinema.

This album was a part of a trend at the time of presenting a serial child murderer in a lighthearted manner. "

Expanded edition features Freddy related goodies!

All tracks sourced from lossless CDDA except for 10, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20 (all were rare, and mpeg was essential to complete this collection. But, they sound great anyway!!)
