Although the date 9/8/60 is engraved on the record itself, no printed date appears on either the record or the cover. I have to assume the correct date is 1962, because Bobby Pickett's "Monster Mash" wasn't released until 1962.

MOOG GROOVES - The Electronic Concept Orchestra - 1969 - 33 1/3 rpm.

The song, "Windmills of Your Mind" was used as the opening theme for the show. Front and back of cover shown.  |
