Seeburg's "Background Music Libraries" (recorded on 16 2/3rpm dics and played on special turntables to ensure "uninterrupted" blocks of music) were "custom-tailored" for the places they were heard in, 'KT'. Sometimes, a melody was just as "comfortable" in a factory cafeteria as it was in a hotel lobby or a clothing store. So several of these tunes were "duplicated"on the various discs Seeburg "programmed" for those businesses...this one as well.
A slightly different version of this song (intro chopped off, and a tiny bit slower) appears on another Seeburg record, Basic series BA-121 (10-1-72). It's interesting how this song migrated from the "Industrial" to the "Basic" library. This 1964 version is superior.
Seeburg recycled their recordings for years - I have about 24 hours of the Basic and Mood Libraries on CD and there are dozens of duplicated tracks. They changed the speed slightly, or cut an intro here and there, but theyre still from the recordings. A lot of the stuff on those early 1970s Basic records are from the 1960s.
@lindaandleo This is basically a tune from Disney's "Pinocchio". I'm sure Seeberg or whoever had to obtain the publishing rights to perform this for their release.
May I use this in one of my videos?

Interesting to watch this disc crawl around the turntable at 16 1/2rpm. Saw in a related video this is from Pinocchio - now the title makes sense.
Actually, this title is quite punny!

Any way of obtaining this music in
any format today? Is anyone putting
them out, even privately?

These are *very* cool. Put up as many of them as you want... They make great web browsing background music!
