Donald Duck & Uncle Scrooge's Money Rocket

Here is a neat record I picked up on a trip downtown last week. It is Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge's Money Rocket - A Fun Story. This is a Walt Disney "Little Gem" record, 45 RPM, LG-702, 1961 Walt Disney Productions, with a price on the sleeve of 29 cents. This record was manufactured in Canada by RCA Victor Company, LTD.  The record sleeve was printed in the U.S.A.
I love the graphic of Donald and Uncle Scrooge flying in space on a rocket which is spewing money out if it! Side 1 has part one of the story and part two is on side 2. the Cast includes Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge and Jiminy Cricket.
From the back of the record: Walt Disney 12-inch long playing records for children. If you and your children enjoy this Walt Disney Gem record we know you'll be happy to learn that the Disney Studio had prepared a wonderful library of 12-inch LPs for children.
This Little Gem record, while complete in itself, is only a small portion of the high quality and good musicianship found on the Disney 12-inch LP line. We invite your attention to the following LP titles which are available at your favorite record store. (See picture below for complete listing of LPs.)

Two New 'Still Sealed' Albums

On a recent trip to one of my favorite record stores in Washington State, I found these two Disney vinyl albums which were both still factory sealed.
First is ST-1911 "Walt Disney's Story of the Absent Minded Professor" featuring the "Flubber" song, sung by Fred MacMurray,  and narrated by Sterling Holloway. The album is from 1961 and has a large price sticker on the front which says "Fantastic Savings, 87¢"
The second album is ST-3952 "Walt Disney Presents the story of George and the Happiest Millionaire", a magnificent full-color illustrated book and long-playing record. Narrated by Mike Sammes, Music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. This record is from 1967, and has a price tag on it that says Price "B".

It's always fun to wonder how and why there are 'still sealed' Disney albums to be found. Were these albums bought by a parent for a child, who didn't happen to like Disney music and didn't care to open and listen to it. Or maybe they didn't own a record player. Or possibly it was purchased by someone such as myself who bought it strictly as a collectors item. Of course, I would have opened it to play it (over and over)!
