The Electric Company - Rare Raposo-O-Rama

For the Electric Company connoisseur, here are five terrifyingly rare Scanimate interstitials from the first season, the first two with their original Joe Raposo needledrops as broadcast in 1972.

1. Glory
2. Cub/Cube
3. Shoot/Shot
4. Photograph
5. Hiccup

Fans will recognize Joe's music on "Glory"; it's been used many times before on TEC. The needledrop under "Cub", however, is a neat bit of a curve ball. Sadly, the other interstitials here lack any music work. I was sorely tempted to add some... but I know better than to tamper with original archive footage. Leave it as is for pure nostalgia pleasure!

(I do take some Raposo-esque sonic liberty with a damaged, missing-audio TEC segment you'll see over there under 'related segments', however.)

Greatest pop composer ever.

Did Joe compose the Barley Farmers' Bar?

[raposofan]

Gosh, Joan, one would think YOU would know :)

Yep he did.

You tube won't let me use my real name as a username (Alan) so I had to borrow JG's monicer. Why won't you tube allow my real name?

[raposofan]

I don't know! That's really odd. What's wrong with the name "Alan"? Nothing.

Weren't there also two other similar segments to this - one with 'Cincinnati' (introduced one syllable at a time) , and one with 'poblem' changing to 'problem'? I vaguely remember those two. Thanks in advance.
