Description

🕯️ The First Theremin Era — “Barnabas Theme from Dark Shadows” / “Sunset in Siberia” (1969 PROMO 45, Epic 10440) — NM/NM

💎 A rare 1969 promo-only 7" single issued by Epic Records, featuring a haunting theremin-led rendition of the Dark Shadows theme on the A-side and the atmospheric instrumental “Sunset in Siberia” on the flip. Credited to The First Theremin Era, this release was part of a brief wave of TV tie-in singles aimed at the cult following of the gothic soap opera.

🔷 Label: Epic 

🔷 Catalog: 10440 — Promo 45 RPM 

🔷 Format: 7" Vinyl, Mono 

🔷 Tracks:  • A: Barnabas Theme from “Dark Shadows”  • B: Sunset in Siberia 

🔷 Condition: NM vinyl / NM sleeve — exceptionally clean with sharp edges and minimal signs of age 

🔷 Label Detail: White-label marked “Radio Station Copy” some bubbling— no commercial release 

🔷 Matrix Notes: [Optional—let me know if you want to add them; Monarch or Pitman pressings may vary]

🧠 Collector Note: This single was never commercially released and remains a prized item for Dark Shadows fans, theremin collectors, and TV soundtrack archivists. The A-side captures the eerie essence of Barnabas Collins, while the B-side evokes Cold War noir with its moody, cinematic vibe. Copies in this condition are exceptionally scarce.

🎶  “Gothic soap meets Cold War chill—theremin drama from the crypt.”
