The idea of the musical story isn't new and in the late 1940's and early 50's we had Sparky a young boy and tales from his world full with effects and imagination.
This week the entire series has been reissued on compact disc in high quality for the very first time for "boys" of a certain "bone age" to enjoy again from the gramophone age.
The cover illustration keeps a fair bit of the period 50's Capitol feel when the 78 was giving way to the 45 and 33 rpm album.
Naturally they are all in mono sounding as good as possible.
This and series like the Junior Choice volumes British EMI issued in the 90's are the sort of recordings that take me back to those less complicated times.
