 By the mid-1970s WBCN, a local radio station in Boston, Massachusetts, began playing a few cuts from the record, helping to bring the group and the record belated fame.It became further known in 1978 when famed independent music band NRBQ listened in, sought out a copy, then had it re-released in 1980 on the Red Rooster Records/Rounder Records label.Later, Dr. Demento, an American radio broadcaster and record collector specializing in novelty songs, comedy, and strange or unusual recordings, began to play the album almost exclusively on his radio show nationwide, especially around the holiday Halloween when he would play the album track "It's Halloween", and for many years since it became part of his top "Funny Five" recordings of the week.
