Goofy and ‘The Mouse Factory’

Now, a Disney rarity from the vaults: 

  

Title: Goofy and “The Mouse Factory” 

A Disneyland “Four Songs” little long play record 

Catalogue Number: FS 923 

A highlights package from the Disneyland LP “Goofy’s TV Spectacular” 

Starring Pinto Colvig as Goofy and Jimmy MacDonald as Chip n’ Dale 

Side 1: 

Goofy and his Laughs 

Chip n’ Dale Medley: Chip ‘n Dale, Polly Wolly Doodle, Daisy Daisy 

Side 2: 

Mouse Square Dance 

Goofy and his Crazy Clarinets


 

this “Little Long Playing Record” is a repackage of four tracks from the (circa) 1964 Disneyland LP “Goofy’s TV Spectacular” with a slight tie-in to Disney’s (then) new anthology series “The Mouse Factory” (this record was released in 1972, Around the same time “The Mouse Factory” was on TV)

This stars Pinto Colvig (Goofy’s original voice) in one of the few rare recordings he did for the Disneyland label.

I can only assume that the sped up voices for Chip n’ Dale was Jimmy MacDonald.  Can someone clarify this for me (click on the ‘Read More’ link at the bottom of the post and leave a message at the bottom of the post.  Thanks.)

This release is (as far as I know) the first licensed record of the caped crusader from around 1966 or 1967.  Less than a decade later, Peter Pan would release a number of records under the Power Records label.

One thing that gets me is the front cover art (green faces! :roll:   What was MGM thinking at this time?)

The LP features Jackson Beck as the narrator (and if memory serves me right, he was also the narrator for Filmation’s “New Adventures of Superman” around this time.)

Incidentally, I have added the label for Summit’s Flair series here.

Summit Records and Music For Pleasure

Over the next couple of weeks, I will be highlighting some of the record labels that will be appearing here, before I start digging into the archive, starting with Summit Records and Music For Pleasure.

This was the original budget record label (you were able to purchase these for as little as 99 cents), starting in Australia in the late 1960’s.

the label’s specialty included releases from some of the smaller record labels from around the world, and compilation LPs from the majors.

below are the labels for both Summit and MFP (the design was practically the same)

the Music for Pleasure label

Summit Records

Summit also had a Gold series (the perimiter was a darker blue)

(Update: 29/1/2010)

Here is Summit’s Flair series label

the company was more or less taken over by the Rainbow Music Group in the early 1980’s

by 1986, the MFP label was temporarily brought back in a series of CDs by Rainbow Products in a number of compilations.
