@don64 Wow, that’s so cool! 🐬 It’s always a splash to hear from fellow fans who had these records. Did you collect all the records in the series or just this one? Are there any other childhood records you remember? Maybe I can feature them on the channel in a future episode! Thanks for diving into this audio adventure with me!

Hey @TheWorldOfBudgetVinylRecords! 🐬🎶 Thanks so much for the kind words and for sharing the video with your subscribers! I'm thrilled to hear that these flexi-discs were new to you-it's always exciting to uncover and share those hidden gems from the past. Your channel is such a treasure trove of vinyl goodness, and it means a lot that you enjoyed this dive into the world of Wheaties and Mickey Mouse Club records. I actually got these from a lot I purchased, and while some were in decent shape, others weren’t so lucky. There were a few sports-themed ones, but unfortunately, they were completely unplayable and are now lost to time. Even the ones I shared in the video posed some serious challenges during recording. The “Happy Mouse” disc fell apart after just one take, and both the Donald Duck and Whistle ones needed major editing to create a seamless recording because they were skipping so badly. Seeing how easily these records can deteriorate really highlights the importance of what we do-to ensure these recordings live on, even if their physical form doesn’t. Let’s keep the vinyl love going strong and preserve these musical treasures together! 🎧✨

@@FinnleysAudioAdventures I can't help but wonder if 78 RPM was the wrong choice for those at the time, despite being such a small diameter, and contributed to their short lifespan. I remember some of the thin vinyl sheets we'd get in newspaper promotions, inside books (they'd be stapled into the magazine or book binding and you'd tear them out). Those all played at 33 RPM. One that stands out in particular is one of the McDonalds promotional records in the 1980s where if the group singing the jingle made it all the way through, you'd win a grand prize. Ours, sadly, was like most and they'd stumble toward the end, with a disappointed-sounding announcer voiceover saying "aww, we're sorry, but better luck next time!". Those were mostly throw-away, but surely would have lasted longer than 1-2 plays despite.

Hey @RickJohnson! 🐬🎶 I’m right there with you-these flexi-discs are definitely delicate survivors! Given the age and the simple, fragile technology behind them, it’s amazing any of them are still playable at all. Some are made better than others, though. For example, in my video "Honeycomb - The Haunted House," I featured another Cardboard Flexi Record where the grooves were stamped onto lacquer-coated cardboard, and it’s held up surprisingly well. Then there are the Eva-Tone Sound Sheets from "Final Boarding Call: The Story Behind 'Say Hello to Pan Am'" and "United Air Lines Presents the Inside Story of Flight 120," which have fared better over time-but those were made by a different company, not Rainbo Records like the Wheaties ones. That said, it doesn’t mean these are inferior. After all, I have some vinyl records that haven’t stood the test of time either, with audio so muddy it’s almost undiscernable. It’s all part of the adventure in preserving these pieces of history! Thanks for watching and appreciating the journey! 🎧✨

Hi @jessibavolack621, Thanks for your comment! The Oddity Archive would definitely have a field day with LUIE LUIE's "Touchy" album. It's a perfect blend of musical mystery and quirky charm, much like the oddities they often cover. The story behind LUIE LUIE and his infamous album is filled with fascinating and enigmatic details that would be right at home in their archive. If they haven't featured it yet, they should definitely give it a look! Thanks for the suggestion and for joining Finnley's Audio Adventures on this journey through music's most curious corners. Keep your ears open for more intriguing finds! Cheers, Finnley the Dolphin

@HotelPools Thanks for the reassurance! We appreciate you letting us feature your track. It really made the video come to life. Keep making those awesome tunes! I already have five records, six counting the collab with A.L.I.S.O.N, and I can’t wait for the next one. 🎶💧

@@FinnleysAudioAdventures nice!👍

Hey @RickJohnson! I'm so glad to hear that "Spaced Out" is your favorite! 🎶 Enoch Light's work truly shines on this album, and it's fantastic that you're enjoying the quadraphonic stereo on your Pro-Logic setup. The immersive soundscape he created is something special, and it's awesome that today's technology allows us to experience it in all its glory. Quadraphonic sound really does bring out the intricate layers and details of each track, making it feel like the music is all around you. It's a retro-futuristic experience that still impresses today. It's worth noting that during the heyday of quadraphonic records, there were two competing standards: the EV (Electro-Voice) and QS (Regular Matrix) systems. While not many EV records were produced before the QS system became the standard, it would be interesting to see if similar results could be achieved by playing an EV record on modern equipment. The differences in encoding could lead to some unique listening experiences, much like what we get from QS recordings. Thanks for tuning in and sharing your thoughts-it's always great to hear from fellow audio enthusiasts who appreciate these unique and influential albums. Stay tuned for more auditory adventures, and keep enjoying the music! 🐬 Keep the vibes alive, Finnley the Dolphin

Hey @MsMiguel70! I'm thrilled to see your comment! 🎉 Even if you haven't experienced a surprise party firsthand, Eddie Barclay's "Surprise Party!" album is a fantastic way to imagine the vibe of one. The eclectic mix of tracks really captures that unexpected, joyous atmosphere of a true surprise party. Just imagine the lively "Mambo in F" playing as guests reveal themselves or the soothing "Merci, Monsieur Schubert" setting the mood as everyone enjoys the evening. Barclay's genius in blending different styles makes it feel like a musical journey, much like the twists and turns of a surprise party. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I hope the music brings a bit of that celebratory spirit to your day! Don't forget to stay tuned for more incredible albums and hidden gems on Finnley's Audio Adventures! 🐬 Keep the music alive, Finnley the Dolphin

Hey @MsMiguel70, what a flashback to those midnight movie mayhem nights! 🎬🍿 I can only imagine the cleanup after a Rocky Horror screening. It's like a party where everyone's invited but no one stays to help tidy up. It took you four years, but I bet when you finally saw it, it was quite the revelation! Speaking of revelations, trying to do the "Time Warp" at a midnight showing as a dolphin? Let's just say, those pelvic thrusts really drive you insane... and are pretty tricky with a dolphin's physique! 🐬💃 Thanks for sharing your story and diving into the wild world of "Rocky Horror" with us through those classic radio spots. Let's do the Time Warp again soon! 🕺💫

Hey @DavidChristieCareerCafe, "Vinyl Xanax" is the perfect description! 🎧🌴 Frank Chacksfield's melodies definitely have that calming effect, transporting us straight to a tropical paradise with every note.

Hi @dianadoos1944, I'm thrilled to hear that you love Hawaiian music! It brings back such fond memories of my time living in Hawaii before moving to Arizona. Being able to experience the incredible local musicians live was truly special. If you enjoyed this, I recommend checking out two other records on my channel: "Dive Into Tradition: Exploring ‘Hawaii Calls’ and Hawaiian Music" and "From Airlines to Soundscapes: The Wonderful World of Aloha." These records dive deep into the rich heritage of Hawaiian music and offer a delightful listening experience. Don't forget to subscribe to Finnley’s Audio Adventures, as there will be more Hawaiian music records and many other treasures to enjoy. Mahalo for your support! Aloha, Finnley the Dolphin

Hi @mrs.g.9816! That's so wonderful to hear! I'm thrilled that this record brings back such fond memories for you. It's amazing how music can transport us back in time. Back in the day, records like "Hawaiian Holiday" were a staple in many households. This was largely due to advancements in aviation technology, which made air travel easier, safer, and faster. Before deregulation, airlines had to compete more on service since they couldn't compete on price. Tropical destinations became romanticized and popular travel spots. Budget record labels like Wyncote produced albums like this one, and airlines even made albums as gifts. One example on my channel is "From Airlines to Soundscapes: The Wonderful World of Aloha," which was created for Aloha Airlines. Thank you for sharing your story, and I'm glad I could help you rediscover this gem. Enjoy the tropical vibes! Warmest aloha, Finnley the Dolphin 🌴🎶

@@FinnleysAudioAdventures Thank you! You have a great day yourself.

🌊💬 Hey @MsMiguel70! Wow, that sounds like quite the adventure at SWB’s OKC headquarters! Working those long shifts with all that tech must have been intense. And good call on not messing with that giant freezer-sized machine - who knows what kind of telecom chaos that could have unleashed! 😄 Speaking of telecom treasures, if you enjoyed the dive into the "ONE-PLUS" spots, you might also love our record featuring Phyllis Diller in a hilarious Yellow Pages ad, and don’t miss my very first video-a series of nostalgic long-distance radio ads from Pacific Northwest Bell. They’re perfect snapshots of how creative and quirky telecom ads used to be! Thanks for sharing your story and for tuning into the channel.

@@FinnleysAudioAdventures Thank you. You’re an engaging and informative channel host. I’ll check out your suggestion. : )

Hi @MsMiguel70! Thanks for sharing your love for the vibraphone and your interesting experiences with musicians! It's such a unique and mesmerizing instrument. I'm glad you enjoyed the video on Peter Appleyard. Sounds like you've had quite the musical journey yourself, dating such talented musicians. Theremin players are fascinating too, even if the performance wasn't the best. If you're interested in vibraphones and other interesting musical instruments, you should definitely check out the channel "Look Ma No Computer." One of his videos shows him wiring up a vibraphone from an old Compton Theatrone to MIDI-it's truly amazing! On a side note, I play theremin too and have the Moog Claravox Centennial. It's such a wonderful instrument with a rich history. Appreciate your support and engagement with my channel. Stay tuned for more adventures into the world of unusual and offbeat audio! Keep vibing, Finnley the Dolphin 🌊🎶

Hi @RickJohnson! Isn't it fascinating? A.J. Foyt saw turbine engines at the Indy 500, including Parnelli Jones' groundbreaking STP Paxton car in 1967. This car, powered by a quiet yet powerful Pratt & Whitney aircraft turbine engine, amazed everyone with its speed and torque. Despite leading the race, a $6 bearing failure prevented its victory. It was a mix of innovation and heartbreak, showing the relentless pursuit of speed. Thanks for your comment! Stay tuned for more intriguing stories. Keep exploring, Finnley the Dolphin 🌊🏎️

Hello @sergiopp5487! 🐬 Thank you for your wonderful words from the sunny shores of South Spain! Did you know Norrie Paramor's music, like his iconic "Jet Flight," was part of Capitol Records' groundbreaking "Capitol of the World" series?

If you enjoy exploring the enchanting realms of music and travel, I invite you to discover more on Finnley's Audio Adventures. Check out our videos "From Airlines to Soundscapes: The Wonderful World of Aloha" and "Pan Am - The Name of the Game is Go," which both were produced for Aloha Airlines and Pan Am, respectively, celebrating the magic of travel and soundscapes.

Splash-tastic, @dixieboy5688! Climbing the Matterhorn and yodeling from the top sounds like a truly epic adventure! Leather pants and a Swiss milkmaid for company just add to that Alpine charm. 😄 If the Swiss Alps are a bit out of reach, don't forget there's always the Matterhorn ride at Disneyland, and instead of a Swiss milkmaid, you might find Goofy waiting to join in on the fun! It sounds like 'Spectacular Yodeling By Arthur Brogli' has inspired you to dream big-keep that adventurous spirit alive, and who knows? Your dreams might just take you from magical mountains to magical kingdoms! Thanks for sharing your dreams and love for the album with us. Dive deep into those dreams and let the music guide you! 🏔️🎶💙

Whoosh! 🐬 You got me there, @dadabetic! Gus Polinski, the charming "Polka King of the Midwest" from the classic film "Home Alone," definitely left a memorable mark with his polka sounds! While Arthur Brogli’s yodeling might not have been a direct influence on Gus, it's a fun thought! Yodeling and polka have distinct roots-yodeling with its melodic leaps is deeply embedded in Alpine culture, while polka dances its way out of Eastern European traditions. Both, however, share a joyous spirit that can light up any room-or any snowy Midwest highway! Thanks for adding a splash of humor and nostalgia to our musical dive! Keep those tunes and good times rolling! 🎶🌊

Hey @inversion66, thanks for sharing that insight! 🐬🎶 Peter Appleyard truly was a gem of the jazz world, and it’s wonderful to see him remembered here. I actually covered some of his story in a blog post at finnleysaudioadventures.com. He was indeed one of the better-known Canadian jazz musicians post-WWII, and though he may seem somewhat forgotten, our mission is to preserve and celebrate the legacies of artists like him. His vibrant performances and significant impact on the jazz vibes should not be lost to time. If you have any favorite tracks or performances by Appleyard, feel free to share them here! Let's keep his memory and music alive for generations to come. 🎵🌟 Keep swimming in the sound waves, Finnley 🐬

@kensims4086 🐬💿 Spot on, Ken! "Canterbury St." is like a sonic relic from an unknown chapter of musical history, making it a perfect candidate for a compilation album dedicated to lost tracks. 🎶 Its mysterious origins and the enigmatic Canterbury St. Trio add to the allure-like a puzzle waiting to be solved. Featuring it alongside similar enigmatic pieces could indeed inspire more audio detectives to dive into these musical mysteries, perhaps on other channels as well. 🕵️‍♂️🎧 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adding depth to our quest for uncovering the unheard!

Hello @charleskatholijr.1055! It's wonderful to hear how Frank Chacksfield's "South Sea Island Magic" provides such a soothing escape for you. Music truly is the soundtrack to our lives, constantly adapting to mirror our emotions and experiences. Like you, my tastes range widely-from lush orchestral soundscapes like this, to synthwave, rock, jazz, and even more eclectic selections based on what's unfolding in my life. Since you appreciate the calming effect of orchestral music, you might also enjoy "Hawaiian Holiday by Kaiwaza" and "Dive Into Tradition: Exploring the Music of ‘Hawaii Calls’ and Hawaiian Music." Both offer beautiful, serene soundscapes that I think you'll find just as enriching and inspiring. Happy listening and may your musical journey continue to enhance your most cherished moments! 🌺🎵🌅

@MsMiguel70 🐬💿 Hi there! You're absolutely right; the melodic lines in this collaboration could very well serve as a music bed for voice-overs or as part of the ambiance during boarding, enhancing the overall passenger experience with Eastern Airlines. 🎶✈️ Much like the "Chevrolet 5 1/2 Minute T.V. Commercial" on our channel, which features a jazz-style music track that seamlessly integrates the vocals about Chevrolet car models, this record might have had a similar multi-purpose use. Additionally, the "1970 Disney on Parade radio commercials" test pressing video we explored, with its blend of pre-recorded announcements and music beds for local station voice-overs, shows how versatile these audio pieces can be in marketing. While the exact usage of Astrud Gilberto's collaboration with Eastern Airlines might not be crystal clear, its presence is a testament to the innovative ways airlines sought to make travel more engaging and memorable. Thanks for bringing this up-these kinds of discussions deepen our appreciation of how audio has historically played a pivotal role in both advertising and the overall consumer experience. 🌟📻

Hey @dixieboy5688, I see you're channeling a bit of cheeky humor there! 😄 While some might do a double-take at that comment today, it’s all in good fun. It’s certainly less controversial than what "Let's Help Mommy" faced with the House Un-American Activities Committee. Now that was a real clean-up job! 😅 Thanks for keeping the spirit lively and reminding us that history often has more layers than a well-worn vinyl. Dive into more fascinating tales with us, and let’s keep exploring history with a smile and a splash! 🐬🎶

🌊🎶 Ah, @dixieboy5688, “Let’s Help Mommy” certainly seems like a charming record at first glance. However, it’s part of a fascinating yet complex chapter in audio history. Initially, it was produced by the Children’s Record Guild, an offshoot of Young People’s Records, dedicated to creating educational content for children post-WWII. But here’s where it gets deeper-during the McCarthy era, they faced allegations of promoting subversive, communist influences. This was a time when any material with progressive themes could attract scrutiny, and unfortunately, the guild wasn’t spared. They were even investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee. While their intention was to educate, the political climate of the time cast a long shadow over their efforts, affecting their operations and leaving a bittersweet legacy in children’s media. It’s a reminder of how even the most innocent projects can become entangled in larger societal issues. 🎶📚

@@FinnleysAudioAdventures Interesting read. The most innocuous of benevolent attempts decried and accused. Luckily we all got over that sort of divisiveness, and now live in complete freedom to promote our causes. Oh, ... I'm still working on my 'sarcastic' font. : )

Aloha @dixieboy5688! It’s fantastic to hear that “From Airlines to Soundscapes: The Wonderful World of Aloha” is enhancing your vibe as you dream of the South Sea Islands. Albums like these, especially from airlines, capture a unique moment in history that we’ll never see again. They emerged during a time when the Civil Aeronautics Board regulated every fare, preventing airlines from competing on price. Instead, they competed on service-offering full meal services, attentive staff, and promotional items like these enchanting records to attract customers. Since moving from Hawaii to Arizona, I’ve found that capturing the authentic flavors of the islands can be quite the challenge, much like reliving the golden era of airline glamour! Enjoy every sip of that fruity drink and soak up the spirit of those times. May your journey, whether in reality or in spirit, be as delightful as the melodies of this album. Bon voyage and let the spirit of aloha guide you! 🍹✈️🌴

@@FinnleysAudioAdventures Right on. I’m listening to this again now, in my car during a thunderstorm. Parked. Birds under limbs I’d suppose. I’ll check out the suggestions. I’ve never been to Hawaii but might have been conceived there. Hardly seems fair. No surfing, luaus, buffets. : )

Hi @dadabetic, Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you found it humorous. When this record was produced, cultural norms and perspectives were quite different from what we understand and appreciate today. The term "golden people" was likely a poetic or romanticized description used by the creators of the record to convey an idyllic image of Hawaii. Back then, it wasn't common for people to consider the implications of such terms from the viewpoint of the local population. Today, we have a deeper appreciation for the rich and diverse cultural identity of the Hawaiian people and strive to respect and accurately represent their heritage. While certain stereotypes and descriptors were commonplace during that period, they are not as favorable today and are best left in the past. This record, despite containing outdated and potentially offensive terms, is presented for its musical, historical, and archival purposes. Keep swimming and keep those tunes spinning, Finnley the Dolphin 🌊🐬

There was a rumor that this ad campaign led to the discovery of infidelity. Check it out at finnley.audio

@@FinnleysAudioAdventures I read the comments about husbands supposedly being revealed to have taken other women with them using this UAL promotional offer. It's plausible, and it could have happened, but if so I'm sure there were far fewer such incidents than people might have claimed. And all this depends on whether United actually did follow up with phone calls or mailings to the people who traveled this way. Considering that this was and is a major national airline, trying to track travelers who used the special offer might have been too time-consuming to actually follow up on a national scale. I suspect the latter.

...my father was a pilot for UAL; we had a copy of this record at home; I still can sing the full lyrics.

I don’t believe this one was meant for radio stations. From what I found it was given to Pan Am employees or travel agents when they launched the campaign. There are others on my channel which were used by radio stations. The very first one for Pacific Northwest Bell has stop grooves in between each cut to make it easier to queue for air play. But it made it hard to record.

@@FinnleysAudioAdventures I had LPs that were actual commercials for radio stations - just the musical beds that could be used with locally-recorded voiceovers - as well as at least one demonstration record with sample commercials that a particular company could produce. So these used the jingles that the company made, but with voiceovers for fictional companies or products.

@@hebneh That's very cool. I have a test pressing up for Disney on Parade that has the narration then the bed for each station this would have been sent to for them to do their own OTA announcement.

I’m happy to hear how much you enjoyed it. This is part of a series on budget records. This one came from Wyncote, part of Cameo Parkway. Unfortunately the sleeve was focused more on the recording process rather than the musician. Also it was typical to use studio or session musicians and vocalist to record these type of records [see Yuletide Disco]. I did a more comprehensive write-up at finnley.audio/2024/03/23/tropical-tunes-and-technological-turns-the-story-of-hawaiian-holiday/

Thanks for the link. As you say, both groups were most likely session/studio musicians and we will never know the identity of personnel - so often the case with Hawaiian related albums. Especially infuriating when you are a steel guitar player yourself, as I am!@@FinnleysAudioAdventures

That is one thing I miss about living on Oahu is going through the thrift stores and finding all the records. My spouse worked at a resort hotel on the west side and would book local talent to play there. We ended up with the CDs they produced. I wish it was possible to find more production information on some of the records I feature. The Pan Am record is another example of one where it would be great to list the talent behind the songs. Aside from the obvious two at the end.

You'll have some very scarce, limited editions, recorded in the Islands I expect. Perhaps there may be more information on personnel with some of these, rather than the more commercially produced items!@@FinnleysAudioAdventures
