Comments
|
This was the first piece of memorabilia I ever got. Vivid artwork and three 78's with the original cast on it makes this one of the most collected albums.
Upon being complimented by Walt Disney on his new Uncle Remus album, Johnny Mercer replied, "Thanks, Mr. D, I hope it'll become a collector's item!" If he only knew...
