About this Item

"A Capitol Record-Reader" designed so children can read along with the record and experience "talking animals, thrilling music, and exciting sound effects." What's interesting is that the music is by the famous composer/arranger Billy May (1916-2004), best known for arranging for Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and many others and composing the scores/theme songs for film and television, such as The Mod Squad, Batman, and others. The copyright date states 1946 but research indicates this may be a 1949 reissue. Script by Walter Hannan; music by Billy May; voice of Bozo by Pinto Colvig; produced by Alan Livingston. Capitol DBX-114. Unpaginated [23 pages] + 2 bound-in record sleeves with four 10-inch shellac records; color illustrations throughout; 12 x 10.5 inches. This copy has not only the two discs for Bozo at the Circus but also has the two discs for Bozo Under the Sea (Capitol DBX-99.) Condition: Fair hardcover with wear and rubbing, spine partially detached, and moderately heavy signs of usage including a tear to one page; the records are dirty with light to moderate scratching, one has a chip to the edge before the first groove; complete with all elements present, hinges and binding solid though a little loose. Ships the next business day, wrapped in padding, in a box. Due to size and weight, international and expedited shipping may be more than quoted.
