1976 Ronco Greatest Hits of Walt Disney album commercial

[noddyguy]

What an odd comercial - It's like they produced it for the blind. The narrator repeats everything you see on-screen!

I still have this album, but the record is not in good condition.

Btw I have that album bought it at Goodwill, only it was used so I knew it didn't come with the lyrics and miniture cut out character stand ups, and the record was obviously played by children, with multiple scratches evident.

Disney didn't just have Disneyland Records they also had a specialty (and more "adult" type) label called Buena Vista Records, which debuted in 1960 when Annette automatically signed up for Disney's record label[s]

The ending v/o for Ronco's Greatest Hits of Walt Disney album ad was former WUAB Channel 43 staff announcer Marty Sullivan (aka: "Superhost"). Plus I believe at 0:52-0:54, just before Superhost's voice is heard, it sounds like the late Jack Reynolds on the voiceover.

"The Siamese Cat Song" is one of the greatest things humans have ever done.

Sounds like the main announcer was the late Dick Wesson who was the longtime Disney announcer. So the 'Mouse' may've worked in conjunction with Ronco.
