An Adaptation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Presented by the Popular Repertory Company. The Walt Disney Players. Disneyland Records D 3811. 1974.

Scrooge is Scrooge McDuck of course. Bob Cratchit is Mickey Mouse, Marley's Ghost is Goofy who steals the show. This is a good video. I haven't listened to the record yet, we just got it.

How many versions are there? Hank Williams' Greatest Hits, MGM Records SE3918, 1961 and The Very Best of Hank Williams, MGM Records SE4168, 1963. Only a few songs different on the two. There's also the versions of many of these songs that Hank Jr. did.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer by Tex Johnson

Tex Johnson and his Six-Shooters. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Premier Albums XMS4. Not sure of the year, but I would guess 1950s. There were two other covers for this album. Of course, Gene Autry had the big hit with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Burl Ives did the singing in the claymation TV show.

I'm going to be posting several Christmas albums in the coming days. Also, I hope to be moving to retrohound.com. I'm not sure at this point if I'll be able to transfer what I've posted so far.

Donald Duck Fanta Glasses

These are some glasses I picked up while in Germany. They've been packed away for twenty years, but I finally decided to start using them. Donald Duck, Fanta Orangenlimonade. 1985. Those crazy Europeans use a comma instead of a period, so this glass holds .3 liters.

7up Glass

This is a 7up glass that I have had for a long time. Upside down for the "Uncola." I don't see these very often, but have always liked them. Of course, I'm a bit unusual myself. Sorry for the blurry picture. I'll try to get a better one soon.

I am just posing this so I will have something to look at while I play with templates. Eventually, this blog will be full of photos of cool and very interesting items from decades past.
