As I hinted in my
last post, I finally stumbled across a copy of volume one from David Randolph and the singers. Actually, I stumbled across two copies. But when I went to record them, the first one turned out to have the wrong LP in the sleeve. (It was still a Westminster record, though, which may explain why I didn't notice when I bought it.) That sleeve did have the correct insert in it, a set of lyrics so the family could sing along. The other copy had the right record but no insert. Problem is, and it's not a huge problem, the label had a big sticker on it, as you can see below. I'm just looking for stuff to complain about, I guess. I was pretty happy to be able to find and share this record finally, I never like to have only part of a set in my collection. If you liked part two, you certainly enjoy this first part.

This appears to be a 1956 reissue (based on the catalog number). I think the original 10" LP was released as Westminster WL 5100.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ernie!
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a reissue. When I was hunting for volume one, I spotted a couple of different covers for both volumes. And I think my volume 2 was pressed in some EQ other than RIAA, but I don't remember seeing that note on this one, so later would make more sense.
ReplyDeleteEither way, it's good music. :)
Wow. I'm 41 and used to listen to this back from when I was a baby till about 12. Really brings back memories.
