Cursed Track

Played just once on KELP El Paso (570 AM) on October 12th,1979 as part of the Local Artist spotlight, THE DEAD (B-side – The Dead [Instrumental]) was banned from the air after three listeners committed suicide that night. Station manager, Herb Shepp, bought 47 of the 50 pressings simply to destroy them, calling the record “evil”. He switched KELP’s format to Gospel barely a week later in order to “cleanse the frequency”.

Lead Singer, Elissa Darke managed to hold onto three copies until a drug overdose claimed her life just eight months later. No one knows what became of her belongings.

A collector in Manhattan, Ks tracked down a copy in May of 1983. That night he set fire to his home, killing himself and his menagerie of cockatiels. The record was destroyed in the blaze. This is one of the two remaining copies of this lost classic.
