Hi-Fi For Small Fry

In The Middle Of The Island
Hi-Fi For Small Fry
Diplomat Pops
The Gold Record For Children
Diplomat 5010

Children records can be charming and sometimes funny as content can age poorly. On rare occasions, for my tastes, is  the music fun. This record, for the most part, is like a slice of space age Hi-Fi easy listening geared towards kids. Nice and you have to love the cover illustration.

  4. These songs sound like they originally were prepared for Diplomat's other label that did sound-a-likes Prom or Promenade. These are 1950s styled hits. Tony Bennett's 1957 hit, In the Middle of an Island..is like your sample.
