G.I. Joe-Secret Mission to Spy Island Book & Record

[@TheDeadeye42]

Should I be happy or very concerned that I still remember every word? Thanks, man. Made my day.

[@tonybaker1836]

Thanks! I brought this to kindergarten show and tell and got to hold the book open and turn the pages while the rest of the class watched , absolutely riveted. It seemed like a miracle of technology back then .

[@danielrushin3811]

Great stuff! I love the voices in the chase scene. Brought back some great memories - thanks! Growing up in the 70's ruled...

[@mikepetro]

Thank You!!!! Thank You!!!! This was my favorite book and record as a child. "When we decode the plans we will have all the answers we need...... Do what you're told FOOL!!!"

[@johnclark4593]

Oh, it makes a BIG difference!

[@johnclark4593]

I just hope no one asks me what I'm doing here...YOU! VOT ARE YOU DOING HERE!

[@MrObelisk2290]

Brings me back to when I had the book and record when I was 8 in early 70s. Remember ever word, thanks for posting.

[@jmarac]

Super! Had not heard this in over 30 years and yet I remembered almost every word when listening to it.

[@JOEX3006]

Awesome!!!!!!!!! I brought this in for show and tell when I was in 1st grade. 1976

[@LoneWolfed]

I had this one back in the mid 80's, and I listened and followed along with book. Good memories. Thanks for posting.🙏

[@dochydrate5649]

Love this, I still have the original album, listened to this 100's of times in the early 70's

GI Joe back in the 1970s, when he was an eleven inch tall action figure had the power to get kids out of the house and into action. My brother and I turned our entire yard into a stage for pretend adventures. We put together environments and obstacles for our adventures that eventually led to our father, losing too much of his own time doing it for us, teaching us how to use his old hand tools so that we could do it ourselves. In addition to some intricate vehicles and structures we made parachutes out of plastic garbage bags and kite string for Joe that took some real research and development to work properly. So in a way GI Joe taught us engineering, some physics and rather more importantly perseverance. We had patient and attentive parents that were willing to take the time to teach us how to make stuff for our adventures so Joe also brought our family closer together. This video brought all of that awesome family memory back in full force. Thanks for putting it up.

[@HardyGirl66]

One of the best GIJoe memories I've read on KZbin!

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

HardyGirl66 Hey thanks! Your icon is that of a wand waving Princess. Of course, I mean that in the most complementary manner. Do you have GI Joe memories?

[@HardyGirl66]

LOL! That's me, age 6 on Halloween. As a child, I remember watching my cousins playing w/ their fuzzhead Joes in the backyard. Making them fall from the swings, and ambush each other. Sometimes they would tie one guy's leg to a Tonka truck, push it around the back yard (mostly dirt), while their dog chased it, barking, all the while yelling "We have ways of making you talk!" But in the early 90s, I started collection GIJoe stuff for me. I found all 4 Peter Pan book/record sets at "Rummage O Rama" for $2 each. I also got the Target issue of "Duke" (a new fuzzhead!), and an AT Land Adventurer. Eventually my collection grew to about 20 guys, various vehicles and accessories and tons of outfits. When I taught after school care and babysat, we'd have a GIJoe day, or a gathering of the GIJoe club at my house and the park, complete w/ t-shirts (and 2 of those kids were girls!).We'd make up plots, narrate, do evil guy voices, battle tigers, parachute from trees and off of playground structures. I don't teach the older kids anymore, and sometimes, I really do miss my old "playmates".

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

HardyGirl66 That... Was... AWESOME!! I am SO glad I asked! I am suddenly wishing that this note came to me before the weekend. I was at a Flea Market this weekend and saw a full sized GI Joe figure for $20. He was the Home For The Holidays GI Joe, 11 inches tall and was toting a Christmas gift under his arm. Like the one seen here www.buyoldtoys.com/forsale/GI_Joe/images/gi03_jpg.jpg He was in brand new, never opened condition but the box was a little rough. Perfect for someone who intended to play with Joe rather than collect him. I absolutely loved your memories of GI Joe with your cousins. "We have ways of making you talk." We must have gotten that from Jonny Quest or something similar because that was a phrase that was used many times in our play adventures as well. Usually right before one toy or another took some damage. And always with a thick, German accent. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful memories. It was the high point of my day!

[@gmccord1970]

I love it how the Skipper says "Good Hunting" to Joe as if he was only two feet away from him but in the picture he's like half a mile away in open water. LOL Thanks for upload.

[@Wilthomer66]

I had this as a kid in the 70's and LOVED it. Got much use out of it in the early 80's as a teen for the great voices esp. "YOU what are you doing here"? in the bad Russian accent!

[@d.vaughn8990]

During the 70's, this was awesome entertainment! Heck, it's awesome entertainment now!!

[@whitebreadho]

Kudos on the upload. Over 30 years later and my brother and I still occasionally use lines from this record on each other. DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD FOOL!

[@davidstude8249]

@ArpMan @whitebreadho Take him outside and get rid of him!

[@samoanalii]

I loved these when I was a kid. used to act out with my figures.

[@eltravo2112]

Had this record in 1977 along with a G.I. Joe action figure. I remember the shifting eyes!

[@turntapzap]

How absolutely delightful!

[@Perktube1]

I had this too! I thought I only had the one with the jungle and headhunters. This is bringing back all sorts of memories!

[@awkwardboy]

Joe has some great hearing, able to hear the voices on the boat from 200 meters away.

[@ajedi0770]

Thanks for this ,man my childhood

[@Doomsdaygirl8186]

I still have this one but was thinking how much I wanted to here it again so thank you so much for putting this on here!

[@SteveEPfunk]

I still have 3 of these. Have no idea if they still work as I haven't had a working record player in years. But thanks so much for bringing my childhood back to me!!

[@kevinszprygada7390]

Loved these

[@JeffNagy-o5x]

Wowie wow wow wow!

[@oldschoolelf]

Cool. Another classic is the story of Dracula, the Wolfman and Frankenstein.

[@summerswoodworking]

That was pretty cool

[@maccabeus-everydaysurvival5828]

I remember that one lol...thanks

[@AlexKnight009]

Hey. This just got me thinking about what they could do for the next G.I. Joe movie. They could have it be a prequel where we get to see the last mission of G.I. Joe(Joseph) B. Colton before he gets promoted to the rank of General. He could be played by Hugh Jackman. G.I. Joe could stand for "Government Intelligence Joint Operations Executive". The other characters in the film could include "Commander" Hawk, Duke, Snake Eyes, Ace, Gung Ho, and Shipwreck(the 4 branches of the military).

[@am2boni]

A classic!!!!

[@am2boni]

awesome!!! Thanks!

[@am2boni]

Classic!!! Thanks!

[@gwenshroyer]

“The ventilation shaft!”

[@jkaravis]

Why is the ship blowing off that horn near the island? Isn't this supposed to be a secret mission.

[@hellowellallen]

thank you

[@AlexKnight009]

Perhaps the movie could begin where they show us how Joseph Colton got the nickname "G.I. Joe" in the first place. Perhaps it was the character of Pvt. Dondaro from the movie called "The Story of G.I. Joe". Perhaps he became a General and Joseph Colton was merely an infantry man at the time and insisted on being called "Joe" as opposed to "Joseph", so the General sarcastically called him "G.I. Joe". Then formed the G.I. Joe special forces unit, with Joseph Colton the leading member of it.

[@sandyporemba2921]

Found this GI Joe "The Secret Mission to Spy Island" book and record (45rpm) good condition. Wondering is it worth anything?

[@lucillecrawford1366]

So how much would this book and record sell for? I have this one in gud nik

[@tankgrrl]

Tempo-RARI-LEEUH!

[@tankgrrl]

@ArpMan 🤣 I swear that line has been rattling around in my head for decades. I can still hear how he rolled his Rs. W-r-r-r-ong!

[@turntapzap]
