No these weren't those (that's a crazy sentence), these were different
than the sound effects album. These were Top 40 tunes covered by
unknowns who kind of sounded like the original stars, all packaged in
one neat little album. Last time I checked, my dad still has them - I
threatened him never to throw away Mom's albums (he hates music) -
anyway, my Mom used to play those a lot. I have a lot of memories off
those pre-Bob Muller covers albums!
