I accidentally found some nearly-lost Scooby-Doo stories (and now they're yours!)

[@heartscapesreiki1496]

That was me! I sent you the record 🤩 This video makes me soooo happy 😊

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Thank you!!! You made this happen!!!

[@glanty]

This video also makes me happy 😊

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

No way

[@BadNameJackson]

Did you also have the book that came with it btw?

[@annadyke259]

Not being able to get Casey kasem for shaggy on these is a lot like how every SpongeBob game gets every member of the cast except for Clancy Brown

[@RabbiJoeInJerusalem]

That hat does scream "You gotta hear Scooby Doo on vinyl, the way it was intended!"

[@BioshadowX]

God that Shaggy voice is cursed. But it's absolutely heartwarming to see these and the work you've done to get them out

[@Miss_Rydia]

"Shore Thang Scewbs!" Edit: I replied too soon. There was more than one terrible Shaggy voice.

[@jadenbryant9283]

Seriously that doesent even sound like shaggy it sounds like some weird Texan cowboy

[@smittywerbenjagermanjensen99]

my dad grew up in the 70s and he had some of those story records, he said he and his siblings would mess with the speed of the record and sit there laughing at how funny it sounded sped up or slowed down. we found one of them he remembers called funny bunny on youtube and we did end up spending time just laughing at it sped up and slowed down lmao it was fun for me imagining him as a kid laughing at the same simple thing i was

[@ritaandrunt5767]

The fact that makes these vinyl records and stories even better is that the original cast minus Casey Kasem as Shaggy did the voices of the characters for these records and I'm sorry but the sound alike replacement that they got for Shaggy is trying his absolute best to sound just like Casey but unfortunately he just sounds like an off brand version of the character rather than sounding like how he would when voicing Shaggy but other then that I'm glad that these vintage story's are being preserved because there is such a unique charm to them that makes the story's feel like speical extended episode's of Scooby-Doo

[@TheChocoboKid]

Country Shaggy, that's a Thick Deep South Imitation of an Accent. What a weird parallel universe.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

If this audio story is a piece of lost Scooby Doo media, Then it would no doubt be valuable to collectors of Scooby Doo memorabilia.

[@dominicyeomans8107]

Or because no has listened to it in a very long time

[@inyrui]

I have a couple of the books that go with the records but I don't have the records. 😪

[@Emerald-t7k]

lost media should be shared with the community not sold off to the highest bidder to be hidden again 😞

[@michaelturner2806]

6:00 I recently got a collectible toy from my childhood myself via a specialty collector's trading site. A place where the toy would slide across the surface of a table was heavily scratched. And the underside had a smiley face drawn in crayon. I love it. Shows that someone really enjoyed this thing and it didn't spend its whole life stuffed inside a box, or even worse never coming out of its box in the first place. These aren't visible when it's set up for display. And I can take it down and drag it across a surface while making cool noises without fear of ruining its resale value.

[@playcoarmboy1836]

Its good to know that there is a KZbin channel that talks about scooby doo cause scooby doo channels are very rare

[@Optimegatrongodzilla]

Have you heard of Scoobytopia?

[@Doomsword0]

This is mostly a Scoob channel which occasionally talks about other stuff too

[@jadenbryant9283]

​@@Optimegatrongodzillaand billiam and occasionally dr.woulfula

[@Optimegatrongodzilla]

@@jadenbryant9283 Yeah, but I mentioned Scoobytopia because *all* of his vids are 'Scooby-Doo'-related.

[@DrWattson]

You talking about the little touches that show that a used piece of media was truly used and enjoyed reminded me of an experience I had recently. I wanted to get a vintage American copy of the original Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, and the copy I eventually found on eBay included a handwritten note from a previous owner that just said "is good book". There are some collectors who might look down on that because it's not in "pristine" quality, but I love it because now it's not just an object, it's an object with a story.

[@ThePongles]

It was a book, surely there was already a story written in before that.

[@Landon783]

8:37 This reminds me of Steven He's Offbrand videos. "You got Scooby-Doo and the Headless Horseman?" "We got Talking Dog and the horse rider without a head"

[@KhanaHatake]

This is an incredible Christmas gift, Scott. Thank you so, SO much for these recordings.

[@UnwittingSweater]

British guy here. We don't think all Americans sound like that. There is also Surfer Dude.

[@Emerald-t7k]

😂

[@EAKugler]

Tape a penny to the top of the needle carriage. The extra weight can keep the record from skipping on those old kids players. speaking as an old kid who is definitely well past being thirty, and had most of those records/books.

[@LovingBeingNatural1]

I did that too. We (my siblings and I) also would alcohol them up (to clean) and then use was to fill in the scratches. If it isn’t scratched too badly, it will play through.

[@Emerald-t7k]

wouldn't the extra weight push the needle into the vinyl? wouldn't it damage it more in the long run?

[@jcphelps7054]

Not Scooby related but pre-owned object related: I did an archiving and filing project at work and while looking through boxes i found an envelope. The letter inside was basic but on the back of the envelope someone had wrote 'do you want xmas cake? yes/no' and just the sudden realization that this had been a daily letter, in the office, with work going on, and not a historical piece of paper hit me so hard. I love those sorts of moments so much so I definitely get the feeling on seeing the house and the underlined words

[@Strider115]

The British shaggy and scoob. A southerner and an Ogre 😂

[@bobspence5322]

i had this! except i had the tape cassette version. my mom ran the school charity drive at xmas each year and they would run out of people long before toys. so my basement back then was filled with junk. digging waaay down close to the bottom of a huge box i found this record, but in cassette form, with 3 stories including the haunted dog house. it is the one i remember best. i saved it and olayed it on a field trip in our van on the way to washington dc, and it was like getting to see 3 missing episodes for radio or sth ..lol was a cool dig. wish i was able to keep more things but they all eventually went to the needy. eh tis better to give. also there are a couple rare vhs scooby from the day ive never found, one was called our favorite gems ..with joe and will barbera hannah in an interview, saying which episodes they liked best. one oicked viking lake, the other picked the headless horseman i think. it also revealed the two characters that own dilly dally dollies were intentional character sketckes of themselves.

[@diedfamous]

As someone who works in estate sales, I gotta tell you to check out your local market. I have so many Spider-Man and Superman LP’s, it’s great. I’m not a scooby collector, but I’ll keep an eye out.

[@evansercombe]

i actually have one of these discs! my dad had it when he was a kid and i grew up listening to it pretty regularly

[@raidenvakarian9362]

Your comments about the house drawn on the record reminded me of the "choose your own adventure" books I used to collect as a child. They mostly came out in the 80s, but I'm a 90s kid, so I had to buy the vast majority of them used. And I always liked it when I saw that the adventure diary was filled out, or even more when I found slips of paper inside with maps and even walkthroughs. A lot of them also had dedications, they were given as gifts from parents and grandparents to kids 10+ years prior to when I got to enjoy them, and that gift was clearly appreciated at the time, even though eventually it made its way in the used books market (which is, admittedly, preferable to it just gathering dust in an attic forever).

[@Kayclau]

This got wholesome in a way I couldn't predict or expect. Anyway, in the latinoamerican dub of the original cartoon, some episodes call the show "Misterio a la Orden" by the voice over of the title card. The literal translation is "mystery on demand", but another interpretation could be Mystery Inc.

[@treytatum]

aww man - the second I heard Don Messick narrate the opening, my heart swelled!

[@pumpkinesoterica]

This is so cool. My four year old nephew loves Scooby-Doo, so I might try to play these next time he asks for Scooby-doo. Hopefully he enjoys listening to them.

[@daelen.cclark]

3:01 that little groove here needs to be sampled for something.

[@adhambarbour]

After listening to the stories on the second channel and generally enjoying them, when I was visiting my dad I played the audio for my half siblings and they loved them and wanted more. So thank you Scott for making more Scoob fans and happy holidays to you and your family.❤

[@susanhillwig5784]

Definitely had a "core memory unlocked" moment when you showed the inside of those single-story books. The dialogue doesn't ring a bell at all, but a couple of images from "Sticky Money" and "Haunted Doghouse" are very familiar! Considering what a mark I was for Scooby-Doo when I was little, I likely had them.

[@zinja0830]

This video just gave me all the warm fuzzies, all the way through the ad read and final thought!

[@bigmclargehuge8219]

LETS GO SCOOB CONTENT! (I have no attachment to Scooby Doo I just like seeing people talk about things they're passionate about)

[@jayshukla7866]

Exactly I only watch these videos for Scott and how passionate he gets about Scooby Doo. I have never seen a piece of Scoob media on my own.

[@acsaudiodramas]

I love the old Scooby Doo records. The ones I found years ago online I listen to every year.

[@lordpelagius5078]

i hate to break it to you but that is in fact what all Americans sound like

[@DORMY7teacup]

Btw, The Christmas Stories he mentioned did get Casey Kasem into þe recording booth to voice Shaggy.

[@ashspectrum]

youve made a fair few videos that have made me emotional while watching (*cough cough* your whisper of the heart video) this one was weirdly impactful for me. over the past couple years its been amazing to see your passions come through in the videos, and in this one especially its impossible to ignore how much you love this franchise and how important it is to you. im currently a studying film and audio, so its amazing to hear the stories. its imperfect in a weirdly perfect way, hearing the distinctly vinyl sound of it all. to make a timely comparison, its like the comfort of watching the tv stations that play a video of a fireplace. while it may not technically be the "real" thing, its much more accessible to people who might have never gotten that experience before. i hope to work with kids one day, and if i do ill be sure to remember these recordings and play them for all the kids as they read along, just as the original records were intended to be. thank you for these

[@Mattatiah95]

Damn,I am not even that big of a Scooby Doo fan, but Scott has this way of showing how interesting this stuff actually is. Please, more.

[@cedricboykins9328]

Lol "No that's later" golden joke

[@jamessatter7418]

Thr brown and green wardrobe gives you the appearance of Shaggy. If he was stylish and better dressed. You could be his alter ego!

So the Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. cartoon wasn’t the first use of Mystery Inc. Neat.

[@UJEvans]

You're telling me the best Scooby cartoon took its name from a weird British Christmas album??

[@ragdoll3745]

I'm so glad you're in a new space! You already seem so at home and relaxed! As someone who has had their creative flow destroyed by studio space changes, I'm so happy for you!!!

[@beckyginger3432]

OK but i kinda love British Shaggy - that brit is trying so so hard

[@Maniacbob]

I really thought the twist here was going to be that the record you lovingly described was actually going to be your own childhood collectible after all instead of a thoughtful gift from someone. I was like 'don't you break my heart here Scott.' I dont know why I was that invested in it's origin, but I was.

[@FNIGTOABN]

I've started a mission to watch every single episode of every single Scooby Doo show. Starting with the second series first because the first series is fresher in my mind but that's the second show I'm watching. Then I'm going in order. I've never watched the laff-a-lympics, Scrappy shows, or Get a Clue so that'll be fun when so get to them. After I decided to take a sleep break so my phone don't die mid episode, I remembered this was on my watch later so here I am.

[@Mewchu14]

THE BOOK WAS DEDICATED “FROM MOMMY” AAAAAAAH SIGNS OF LOVE ETCHED INTO HISTORY AND ENDURING EVEN 40 YEARS LATWE AAAAAAAAAAAAAH IM CRYING

[@Baconlovesreddead]

Didn’t he say it was from the 60s? So 60 years later

[@LeoLegionnaire]

Reminds me of the scooby book that I had as a kid where you pressed buttons to do the sound effects.

[@signaltome]

I would almost think that Scott is a Scooby-Doo fan or something. Who'd thunk it! 😀 Merry chirstmas!

[@tee_nanners]

I can't believe I'm jumping in RIGHT at the upload

[@mrm20x6]

Have you seen the Scooby-Doo sound filmstrips? They're kind of like this, but they were for some kind of old projector and they showed still frames along with the audio. I think they were meant to be shown in school, because they have a more educational focus. A user on internet archive called Uncommon Ephemera has uploaded a bunch of them along with other filmstrips. It seems like they're basically the only person trying to preserve this kind of media.

[@jakipop3397]

The intro of the Sticky Money would be SUCH A HARD SAMPLE.

[@kevin10001]

Thank u for doing this we need to preserve things like this for future generations of fans even in a digital version

[@TCC180]

gotta put a stack pennies on the needle to weigh it down and keep it from skipping.

[@lukelee7967]

There is a chance that Duncan Robertson did other voice acting under a different name.

And probably credits for children's audio dramas that just have gotten fully lost in the sands of time.

[@lukelee7967]

@@MyKoira Very likely, but if it turned out this is his only recording I wouldn't be too shocked. The early days of audio books are a bit weird. Although it seems this company put a bit more effort into it than many did.

Wonderful project Scott! You should also translate the stories to other languages to make them more accessible, I can help with translation to Hebrew if you want

What would be the Hebrew translation for yoinks? :P I wonder how much strange language is in these stories that would be hard to translate.

I really like 'used' things, that show that other people read these books/ watched these DVDs before me. My copies of "The Illiad" and "The Odyssey" both have little notes from probably a student that had these before me and I love to see their thoughts on the books while I read them. It's so nice!

[@MattMcIrvin]

I'm not sure I want to solve the Mystery of the Sticky Money.

[@pantone369c]

I love collecting used vintage records, and particularly for the reasons you described. I picked up a used copy of "Rubber Soul" recently with the name "Sharon" written across the title in thick black marker. I love wondering who Sharon was. Was she a teenager whose mother wrote her name on her record before she brought it to a friend's house for a sleepover? Did she write her name on all of her records so her siblings couldn't claim her records as their own? What lead her to part ways with it? Where is she now? It's totally a time capsule thing. I travel back in time every time I listen to one of someone else's old records.

[@charliehoward9765]

This is so cool! Also why did I tear up when you showed the dedication inside the book to the kids from the mum 😭

[@Doomsword0]

"The list goes on exactly one more time because I only have four of them" this and your later on being immediately jokes are so good. Scott you write really great scripts even for less serious videos like this and I honestly don't think you get enough credit for it

[@scoobydoo23320]

I had one of these records as a kid, except it wasn't a story book version. And I could of sworn it had Casey Kasem as shaggy. I think it was a 33 version too. UPDATE I found the record, it is a 33 version, Duncan Robertson is Shaggy, it was made by Peter Pan and it includes Strange paw prints, Sticky money, and ghost in the dog house.

[@Enjoysaeli]

I listened to one the other day when you posted them on your other channel, theyre really cute! Hope you and Em are doing well and have a good holiday!

[@d4r4butler74]

From someone alive at the time... you can try putting a weight (an eraser for instance) on the head of the arm, forcing it to not skip so much. This might not work if it was very 'well loved', but it is worth a shot.

[@whereisawesomeness]

Hell yes, this rules, love archivisation

[@ender7278]

I knew when I clicked on this video it'd be about the audio that introduced the name "Mystery Incorporated". I read about it on the wiki a while back and the thumbnail clearly featured a record.

[@RheaStorm]

American Pickers mentioned. Man I haven't seen that show in a while. I remember some of those episodes around the early seasons with people mentioning the recession and needing money was bleak.

[@94sHippie]

I love what you said about the secondary unwritten stories of used media. I love used media for the same reason. I have a used copy of Les Miserables and in addition to the previous owner leaving their name in the book, they also left a love note and poems given to them. Within the book is a secondary (and in this case very written) story of love that blossomed in a french class. What happened to it? Was the book given up because the couple broke up and the owner couldn't bare the memories anymore, or did they live a long happy life together and the book found itself into an estate sale? I will never know, but it is fascinating either way.

[@AidanPatko]

This was the best Christmas gift you could have gotten me. I haven’t heard these stories in so so many years. Thanks Nerd 🖤

I dunno if youve seen it but this videos reminds me of the video 'planet clue' did for the Pac-man vinyl records. Highly recommend that video. I think this is great since imma fan archival preservation. For the most part the Pac-man records were also not available online. Makes me wonder how many of these novelty records are stil lost to time.

[@kdean_art1066]

NO WAY! I just bought one of the Peter Pan Scooby-Doo records (it contained 3 stories on it) a while back purely because I loved the art on it so much 😂😂 (EDIT: it’s the same sleeve art as the one in front at 7:44!!! I love how they drew the gang!) Haven’t watched the full video yet but one of the wierd eat things is how (at least on my record) we got Frank Welker, Don Messick, Pat Stevens, and Heather North in- but no Casey Kasam for Shaggy? Also, great to see you talking about these Scott, you wonderful meddling…adult?! Edit: just hit the part where you talk about the voices😂 that British Shaggy made me actually re-evaluate my feelings about Scott Menville’s Shaggy….

It's craxy to me how bad preservation for such iconic franchises in the modern age is. Granted this is a record from decades ago, but considering how expensive and exhausting it has become to archive and document history from centuries ago, you'd think there'd be laws forcing better preservation. But at least I'll always have wonderful dedicated KZbinrs stumbling upon stuff like this and being kind enough to share it.
