 Victor Mizzy & His Orchestra & ChorusOriginal Music from "The Addams Family" Release Date 1991 10 08 Label RCA Rating:  Vic Mizzy simultaneously captured and set the tone for the television sitcom The Addams Family with his instrumental score. The ascending harpsichord riff and finger snaps of &"The Addams Family: Main Theme" are one of the most recognizable pieces of television music from the '60s -- or from any era, for that matter -- and variations on that hook appear throughout the dozen pieces on the 1965 soundtrack album. &"One Little, Two Little, Three Little Tombstones," for instance, begins with the signature riff before veering off into a whimsical melody in an odd time signature. The album contains unique themes used to announce the appearance of the show's various characters, and other incidental pieces in a semi-rock & roll style with a wordless chorus. The sound is practically identical to the music heard on early-to-mid-'60s Bill Justis or Lawrence Welk albums (the latter of whom also used a harpsichord). Compare Mizzy's &"Gomez" with Welk's &"Calcutta" for an example. This brief album was issued on CD in 1991 to coincide with the release of the Addams Family motion picture. The reissue concludes with a 51-second, previously unreleased vocal version of the theme that will delight any fan of the original series. &"Lurch's Theme," incidentally, is not the same recording as Ted Cassidy's infamous single &"The Lurch."
