Goldilocks and the Three Bears - Full Cast And Orchestra

Happy Time Records, 1962. Unlike the similar Teddy Bear record I uploaded, this one says it was made in the USA. It's not apparent from the scan but this disc is actually transparent apart from the colour. It's much more like a normal vinyl single than a picture disc - it's thinner and doesn't have the crinkled edge that usually accompanies a bit of card sandwiched in the record. As for the record itself: it sounds like there's a bit missing at the beginning, because the first reference to Goldilocks in the narrative is to "she". Also the way the story jumps to a happy ever after is remarkable. But then bears are known for their tolerance. You might notice a certain similarity between this and the Teddy Bear clip. I don't just throw these things together. Oh hang on, I mean I do just throw these things together. I'm always getting those two muddled up.
