Cardboard Records – The Jackson 5
The Jackson 5, “I Want You Back” Motown. Other singles from this cereal box include “ABC”; “I’ll Bet You”; “Darling Dear”; and “Maybe Tomorrow.” What amazes me is that these things actually work.
Cardboard Records – Bobby Sherman
Bobby Sherman, Cardboard records of “Easy Come, Easy Go”; “La, La, La”; “Seattle”; “Love”; and “Spend Some Time Lovin’ Me.” If you look at the stamped number on the records, you’ll see I have two of #5, and none of #3. What I find interesting is the two colors of the #5s (the top two pictured). This is not-very-good music from the late 1960s and early 1970s. For those who think pop music is bad now, let me tell you, there has frequently been mediocre stuff make the Top 40. But I’m sure he’s a very nice guy. Take a listen.
Golden Book of Animal Stamps
Golden Book of Animal Stamps. Ninth printing, 1973. Not sure when I got this. Some pages have been colored on, but by a young child, not me. I was not one to deface a book unless I could do it perfectly. You can see the label tape I used with my old Crazy Guy Label Maker. I’ve always loved animals, still do. I love shows like Mutual Of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom and now Jack Hanna.
1950s Tom Sawyer Book
Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Rewritten for young readers by Felix Sutton, Illustrated by Jon Nielson. Wonder Books, New York. A tie-in with David O. Selznick’s 1938 movie. The book however, is 1955. This is at my grandparent’s house.
