This lp is in terrible condition---even after cleaning, it's crackling and hiccoughing, even skipping. It's tough, because I LOVE this recording, but this one will have to be purged.
Let it be known, however, that this lp has been loved. It was a formative education piece for me, teaching me both about music and about narrative. It also taught me that you should always watch you back in unfamiliar places, and not underestimate the unknowns in your surroundings. It also taught me that representing animals with instruments is hilarious. Dad listened to it when he was a kid, and played it for us when we were kids. Maybe I'll make some kind of art with this one.
Yes, it's great. I owned it as a child (probably the same copy!). You know Bowie did this, don't you? https://youtu.be/Va8Uz6MoKLg
ReplyDeleteOh my! I did not! I remember watching it as a kid, but I didn't realize it was Bowie <3
