Daily Find – Dinosaur Cavern by Terry Wayne – Rockabilly 45
Daily Discovery - Dinosaur Cavern b/w God's Gift To Man by Terry Wayne - Novelty Rockabilly 45 on Cotco (Coast To Coast) Records #66
This is a trippy record. It says "To be constructed life size 112' high on Route 66 Arizona, 1 mile from entrance to Caverns- Open Year Round" in small print on the picture sleeve. By doing some online research I found out that the dinosaur was originally built in 1962. My best guess is that this record was being sold to either raise money, to promote the landmark that was to be created or selling them to tourists as a way to remember their trip. Take a little trip with me to "Devil's Den".

There has just been a Bigfoot sighting in Los Angeles. There is no need for alarm, as he is sitting in my record box and I promise I will not let him escape. This is a cross collectable as R&B, R&R, Mods, Monster & Novelty collectors will be soon looking for this wicked cut. Beware, this hairy, beast of a record.
