Joels, narrator, with supporting cast. Vocals by the Southernaires. Orchestra conducted by Spencer Odom -- RHUMPY THE RHINO. Craig McDonnell as Rhumpy, Karl Weber, narrator, with supporting cast and orchestra. Hope that helps, Charley Noble |

OK; enough of the Politics already - I hope that we do manage to find that one, as it seems like it could be pretty cute either way. |

FMI: Highway Hi-Fi From a listing of available records, here is the one on which "Rhumpy" is featured: JR 30 SIDE 1: TIGER (Bring 'Em Back Alive) (Story adapted by peter Steele and Hecky Krasno from Frank Buck's "Bring 'Em Back Alive); FRANK BUCK Merrill E. Joels, narrator, with supporting cast. Vocals by the Southernaires. Orchestra conducted by Spencer Odom RHUMPY THE RHINO. Craig McDonnell as Rhumpy, Karl eber, narrator, with supporting cast and orchestra. SIDE 2: SLUGGER AT THE BAT (Story by Peter Lyon and Peter Steele) (Music by Morris Surdin) with Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese with supporting cast. Carl Frank, narrator HOOK AND LADDER NO. 99: Authentic fire engine sounds and story ALL ABOARD A COVERED WAGON with Mr. I. Magination, musical story. Paul Tripp as Mr. I. Magination. Orchestra conducted by Ray Carter. Children: Judith Gail Krasno, Karen Eisenberg $2.25 Of course those are 1957 prices, and where you would get one of these records now, or how you would play it without one of the special automotive units, is beyond me. I would imagine that if any still exist, they would be quite valuable as collector's items. You might try E-Bay if really interested. Thanks for posting this; now I learned something, and I like to do that! |
