Snow White Children's Story on 78 rpm record Sides A&B

[KekoaOnorati]

So, totally on a whim, I thought I might just type in "Snow White record" to see if someone by some miracle had uploaded the audio of this very record. And... well.... I'm a bit speechless that it's here. Along with the Peter Pan record which I had COMPLETELY forgotten about. Thanks for bringing back this part of my childhood for me.

@KekoaOnorati Oh cool! You're very welcome. :)

This was recorded in 1950, at the time Daniel Kasen's "Synthetic Plastics" of Newark, N.J. reintroduced their Peter Pan label, nationally distributed by "James & Jonathan, Inc." (there was an earlier version of the label several years before [originally a product of "General Moulding"], focusing on medleys of children's songs, which Kasen reissued over the years). Jack Arthur was a well-known actor/announcer on radio and TV in the New York area, and he narrated Peter Pan's stories for years...

@fromthesidelines i remember 'synthetic plastic' and you used ot be able to get a catalog from peter pan records.

Thanks! I can remember walking to the shopping mall with my Mom back in the early 1970's, and if I was well behaved, she bought me a record in the "dime store". This was one of the records she bought for me! I haven't heard this in over 35 years! Unfortunately, all of my "kiddie" records on vinyl were thrown in the garbage in the early 1980's. Does anybody remember the Nursery Rhymes record the Peter Pan Players and Jack Arthur made? It featured "Oats Peas, Beans". I wish it was posted too!

[RCALennon]

@Stevedup Hmmmm, I'd post it if I had it. This is the only children's record I have on 78 right now. I do have some on 45 but wasn't going to post them as they're famaliar stories like Cinderella and Thumbelina and such.

[Stevedup]

@RCALennon... If you ever get it, or other Peter Pan records...let me know! Thanks!

Ooh I had this on 45 when I was a kid! It all came back to me as I listened to it. Thanks so much for the video!

I love these peter pan records. Especially the 7 inch pressed on red plastic. The labels are always really cool.

I have this on a 45. Once I find it, I'll post a video response.

[RCALennon]

Neato, please do.

You're right in assuming that this is an early PP record. They began manufacturing 78's in the conventional 10-inch size. But by the mid-1950's their line was pressed on 7-inch 78rpm discs and extended-play 45's. I had quite a collection of them as a kid.

I had 2 videos pop up to the top when I searched for "vicky kasen" here on youtube. The other one has a comment from me which is also appropriate here: Vicky Kasen figuring in my early listening experiences! Also, Jack Arthur sometimes was on the Peter Pan label.
