Record Rarities from Bruce's Record Collection

Off The Record

Posted by Bruce on January 28, 2010 in Childrens with No Comments


here is another rarity from the HB record label:

LP: The Reluctant Dragon starring Touche’ Turtle and Dum-Dum

Label: Hanna-Barbera Records, catalogue Number HLP 2029

Re-released as DRUM 8217 by EMI in 1977

Starring Bill Thompson as Touche’ Turtle and Daws Butler (?) as Dum-Dum

Side 1:

Part 1 including songs “Touche’” and “Dum-Dum” 

Side 2:

Part 2 including songs “I’m Reluctant”, “It’s a Great Day” and “Smokey the Dragon”


Kenneth Grahame’s tale of “The Reluctant Dragon” given the Hanna-Barbera treatment, starring the voice talents of Bill Thompson as Touche’.

The voice of Dum-Dum is certainly not performed by his original voice, Alan Reed, so I’m taking a stab and thinking it’s probably Daws. (anyone who can confirm or correct my assumption can post a message (no spam please, as it will be automatically deleted)  in the comments section.)
