The cartoon "In the Bag" with J. Audubon Woodlore and the brownstone bears was released in 1956 (which is the year I was born) and featured the song "Humphrey Hop" I purchased this studio recording of the song which is in 78 format. This may have been used to help animators during creation of the cartoon. It is only instrumental, no singing. Recorded in 1955. Notice there are 2 holes? This is a "cut" record made using a special record recorder player. The 2 holes hold the record in place while the machine cuts into the blank disc while recording. These are one of a kind records as opposed to mass produced commercial records.

I also have another album that does feature J. Audubon Woodlore, voice by Bill Thompson (Mr. Smee in Peter Pan) that was from the Wonderful World of Color TV show.
