Sing Along With The Grasshoppers Featuring Eddie Maynard Spin-O-Rama Records MK 3074. This record is probably the first full album I received as a toddler. I Can't find a year anywhere on the album or jacket. I've tried looking on the internet and there are a few references that it was in the early 1960's.
I also have a Stereo version of this album on The Pirouette Record Label and there is a date etched in the vinyl of 10-26-59. The artwork on both jackets is basically the same other than on the Pirouette album in the trees it says Stereophonic and the lower left hand corner shows True Sound Pirouette instead of Long Play 33 1/3 RPM Spin-O-Rama.
This record brings back fond memories of my childhood listening to this record several times a day. I've done my best to filter out any pips or pops and is sounds pretty good. I will also post the Stereo album shortly after I finish this post.
This record was a rip-off of the David Seville and The Chipmunks and there are songs that The Chipmunks have done on this album. I don't recall hearing The Chipmunks before I was about 4 years old, but can remember them from a few years later. I do realize the they have been around since the late 1950's
My favorite song on this album is Big Rock Candy Mountain.
