Yellow Submarine
Another Peter Pan Original
Peter Pan 8092
Here is another incredible Peter Pan record. A while back I featured a Peter Pan "Disney" knock off record. On that record Peter Pan used illustrations on the jacket that looked like very much like Disney characters. I don't know how they got away with infringing on the Disney brand.
Now I find this "Sesame Street" album. Interestingly enough, this album is labeled "Another Peter Pan Original" while at the bottom of the cover (out of the frame on my scan) there is a line of copy: Not affiliated with the T.V. program "Sesame Street". At the same time, the back cover is loaded with copy explaining the actual T.V. program mentioning Jim Henson and actual character names.
The songs are by the "Peter Pan Orchestra and Chorus". For the most part, the sound is total early and not so great 70s adult easy listening. Any kid who thought he was going to hear The Cookie Monster sing a song was in for a hugh disappointment.
Apparently, according to the back jacket, the song "Yellow Submarine" (not this version, of course) was actually used on shows number 17, 62 and 102.
OH that's a treasure! WOW! Yellow Submarine!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mark - I have this album, still from when I was a kid. Of course now I have no turntable or way to play it let alone convert to digital. Seems like you've done this at least with Yellow Submarine (wow flashbacks when I listened to that)...wonder if you have converted the whole LP and if so, would you be willing to share? Thanks - Keith Bly, Galveston TX
