**** We proudly will highlight 3 very special occasions, especially these:
--- DS Music Composer/Arranger ROBERT “BOB” COBERT’s 92nd Birthday.
--- DS Scenic Designer SY TOMASHOFF’s 94th Birthday (belated but still a reason to celebrate!).
--- Publication of LARA PARKER’s (Angelique) 4th DS novel in advance of its early November release). The book can be purchased and personally autographed by Lara.
ROBERT "BOB" COBERT' will be on-hand to autograph the exclusive new purple vinyl reissue of The Original Music From Dark Shadows album, first released in 1969 and a Top 20 Billboard chart success at the time. This unique vinyl album is a limited edition only available last April via retail for Record Store Day. The album is pressed on high-quality, heavy virgin vinyl and includes all the original artwork plus the Barnabas and Quentin poster insert.
By special arrangement, the last 100 copies will be signed by Bob and available for purchase for the reduced price of only $20.00 each
Additionally, SHADOWGRAM is pleased to announce that Cobert's classic score to the
1968 Dan Curtis TV production of "The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" will
be making its CD debut. Some of the music was later used in 1970’s major motion picture "House of Dark Shadows," and also was re-recorded for the original daytime DS
TV series. The music is noted among Cobert's most dramatic and distinctive work.
Another major highlight is the premiere of LARA PARKER's latest novel, “Dark Shadows - Heiress Of Collinwood” prior to its November publication. Advance copies of the book will be available for purchase. Lara will personally sign them and present a dramatic reading on stage.
