Disney - Wonderful World Of Color - 1963

This is a Best-Of album of sorts with contributions from cutie-pies Annette and Hayley, and Fess Parker and others. The forgotten Hector, the stowaway pup, and Sammy, the way-out seal are also involved. You begged your parents for this and didn't get it. But Uncle Ed just now came through for you.

By Jeeves - 1996

Andrew Lloyd Webber fixed up his stage musical several times and achieved this happy result. Steven Pacey portrays Bertie Wooster and fumbles to perfection. Link in comments.

National Lampoon - Lemmings - 1973


I was aware of the record but not the off-Broadway show which became the HBO film that never aired.  Perhaps the ensemble disappointed the Suits at HBO. A copy of the film is on YouTube right now but you will prefer this video file which is twice the size and twice the quality.  Link in comments.

National Lampoon Radio Dinner - 1972

Here, for the sake of completeness, is this classic National Lampoon record.  Track 8 involves a great Joan Baez imitator.  The lyrics are incorrect and outrageous and she sounds just like Joan.
