The Records

My dad gave me some records and most of them are really old. I’ve been putting them out on eBay, but as I get them cataloged I figured I would post them here. You can buy them on eBay…but see what I have here.

78′s

1953 – Holiday in Fairyland, with Betty Wells and the The Playmates (with orchestra directed by Maury Laws) : Pickwick Sales Corporation. Price says .49

1953 – Prokofiev Peter and the Wolf (Child’s Life Magazine) Reginald Carol Narrator, with full symphony orchestra. Price says .49

1953 – Peter Cotton Tail and Hetty the Easter Egg Hen (Child’s Life Magazine), sung by the Cricketones with full cast and orchestra.

1953 – Alphabet Zoo, with full cast orchestra. And 3 little kittens, Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star

Boxed Sets

Moon River – The Many Moods of Henry Mancini (1975) Readers Digest

Autmn Leaves – The Best of Roger Williams (1979) Readers Digest

  • 8 Records. Box, sleeves and records are VG+. Some of the records have been pulled from their sleeves and the marks show on the records. Superficial pattern.
