As of right now I'm focusing on comic books and video games, but many more goodies will be made available as time goes on. Don't miss out!

THE ORIGINAL CYNDI - "THE POWER WITHOUT THE PRICE" - 2009 CD
Well Hello, Sanctum Dwellers! I know it's been a while. AGAIN.
This has been one hectic summer for me; between getting ready for my first-ever comic convention in November, and doing weekly auctions on the Sanctum's new Whatnot store, I've had a hard time being able to gather together OOP oddities.
But today I have a real doozy for you; an album by a group known as "The Original Cyndi". I honestly can't even describe it. A little Jazz Fusion, a little Electronica, a little Experimental, even Comedy... it's a hodgepodge of bizarreness that has to be heard to be believed.
I can't seem to find much information about the group beyond this release's Discogs page, and the site devoted to the recording studio used (of which one of the band members runs). If anyone has any other info I can share here, please let me know!
Stay tuned for more obscure audio shared here in the coming weeks!

"BACK TO THE BEACH" - 1987 CD Soundtrack
I know it's been a while, but rest assured that loads of OOP media is being archived behind the scenes! Thanks to all Sanctum Dwellers for your patience!
With the Summer heat upon us, this seemed like a great time to share the soundtrack to the long-forgotten 1987 flick "Back To The Beach"!
The film was a tongue-in-cheek parody / homage to the "beach party" movies that were wildly popular during the 1960's. In fact, this movie's two leads were both major stars during that era via those exact same movies: Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, both of whom also perform songs for the film!
Along with Annette and Frankie, the soundtrack is loaded with great tunes from Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eddie Money, Herbie Hancock, and best of all... Pee-Wee Herman! Some of these songs were made available on other various compilation albums, but this complete soundtrack is currently unavailable for digital purchase, streaming or download.
So kick back in the buggy and take your gals n' pals down to the surf while cranking these rockin' tunes!

EXENE CERVENKA - "SURFACE TO AIR SERPENTS" - 1995 Spoken Word / Poetry CD
In the mid-1990's, thanks to the tail-end of the Grunge and Alternative movements, and the rise in Pop Punk, interest in Punk in general started to arise again in popular culture.
Taking advantage of this, Exene Cervenka (legendary frontwoman for late-1970's Punk band X) collaborated with another well-known figure in the Punk scene, former Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins, and his label 2.13.61 to publish a poetry album.
The album was called "Surface To Air Serpents), and it was released in 1995.
It's a pretty unique, artsy piece, and a must for any fan of modern poetry, or any fan of Exene's.
Strangely enough, it's no longer available via 2.13.61's store, and is not available on any major digital storefront (although Exene's more straightforward music albums are).
As a Punk (and poetry) fan myself, I'd hate to see this album fade into obscurity. Please listen, and enjoy!

"THE LITTLE MERMAID COLLECTION" 1990, 2000 Read-Along Triple Pack CD
The legendary Roy Dotrice narrated three Read-Alongs in 1990, all adapted from Walt Disney's classic "The Little Mermaid".
In the year 2000, all three stories were packaged in a bundle called "Disney's The Little Mermaid Collection - Triple Story Pack".
While some copies of these stories exist on YouTube, they're usually being read by the uploader. Finding the original audio has been tricky... until now!
All three stories are presented here, with full voice work from the cast of the film, and parts of Alan Menken's iconic score!
These are great tales for any fan of Ariel and her dreams of becoming "part of our world"... Enjoy!

"JAILBAIT!" 2000 MTV TV Movie
"JAILBAIT!" was a made-for-TV movie released in the year 2000 exclusively on MTV.
It was a pretty terrible movie then, and it's definitely a terrible movie now. However, it has Matt Frewer, and I'm a sucker for pretty much anything he's ever been in.
I have very vivid memories of this movie when it was first announced/aired. It was a big deal for MTV to be airing an R-rated movie that featured nudity. Of course, it was all for the sake of the film's message, which is to exercise caution when engaging in premarital sex. At least, I'm sure that's what the folks working on the movie told themselves while making it.
I've uploaded it to Archive.org because it is absolutely impossible to stream anywhere, and is only available on physical media via third-party sellers who are charging ridiculous amounts for it.
If MTV asks me to remove it, I will; but until then, have a laugh or two... whether intentionally or not!

MYSTIC FORCE - "ANOTHER WORLD" - 1992 Heavy Metal EP CD
Mystic Force (sometimes labeled with a hyphen as "Mystic-Force") is a Maryland Heavy Metal band in the tradition of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc.
While they never hit the heights of the bands that preceded/inspired them, the members are still active!
I came across this EP, "Another World", when I was out thrifting and I knew I had to get simply based on the cover. There's just something about the traditional "wizards, skulls, demons, dragons", etc Fantasy art on Heavy Metal albums that makes the cash fly out of my wallet.
Even with only 3 songs, and with nothing majorly original about them, this is still a pretty good EP.
Seems to be HTF online aside from a few YouTube rips, so I figured I'd share the individual tracks in high quality.
Bang Your Head and Enjoy!
