great to see this. i bought episode 1 comic with record a few years ago for my brother for his birthday.

he has never opened the wrapping so we have always wondered how the story went. now i know! but i wont be letting on. cheers.

Funny stuff:"It's....LIFE!" (I thought that was a FLOWER! Hehehe) After seeing the men and sexy women running away: "Who or WHAT were they?" "That pretty one looked really human!" (hahaha! They can't recognize humans! Interesting but a tad ignorant writing...5 stars anyway....

Power also made read-along records of Beneath and Escape of the Planet of the Apes that were good too.

This is pretty cool! And almost as good as having the real comic.

Thanks for this post, hadn't heard this one before i have another power records planet of the apes lp with "4 exciting new stories". they are great records.

Thanks for posting! I had this when I was 10 and I just saw it with my 10 yr old. I still remember the words too. Thanks again.

Still have the record and played it for my son just a few weeks ago, but have no idea what happened to my book. I was thrilled to find this on line. Thanks for posting it. It brought back good memories. I noticed there wasn't any signals to indicate changing the page, did you edit them out?

[SecretCavern]

glad you had fun - the audio is from an LP of several apes stories - no comic with the LP so no need for the signals.

I used to have this when I was a tyke. I had a lot of faves back then.

I can't believe how much Taylor sounds like he's voiced by The Simpsons Troy McClure - weird, as he does that episode where he acts in the musical theatre version of POTA.

[soulcheck4u]

Cool! It's more than 25 years since I heard or saw these. I can't believe I still know some of the words. This really put a smile on my face!

[SellawEvets]

WHOA!  A piece of my childhood! I had all four of these!

[logibear64]

Me too!!! I loved these things!!!!

[ra70s]

...and before I entirely forget to mention...my GI JOE "secret mission to spy island" book and record.

[ra70s]

..and I have my six million dollar man power record LP, too(the photo cover version).

[ra70s]

I still have my spiderman("mark of the man-wolf") and star trek("in vino veritas") "power records"(that particular star trek record didn't come with a book).

[mstatz]

I'm surprised this video isn't a LOT more popular! My brothers and I collected almost all the Power Records there were. Thanks SO much for this video. I appreciate it very much. Please leave it up!

[fogzax]

Thanks mstatz! All these vids were up previously on my old account which got deleted by YT - I am only posting read along movies to this account now so they should stay up permanently.

[mstatz]

Thanks for your reply. "Planet of the apes" was my favorite of them all. I know I sound like a nerd but I have this entire record memorized. Even though it was 30 years ago, I listened to it so often then that I still remember it. I also remember "Beneath...Escape...and Battle...". Do you have those ones too? I got them all again from ebay about 6 years ago.

[fogzax]

I haven't done any movies for a while and am thinking of doing Beneath for the next one so keep an eye out. In the meantime there is a webpage called - hunter's planet of the apes archive - that has all the audio and scans of the books.

[sgtgrouch]
