Two rare Lee Wiley 78′s on Schirmer from Vintage Vanguard. Wiley was the first singer to do songbook albums. I’ve always liked her version of “Careless Love,” but she’s was always good. A later Lp “West of the Moon” (1956) is worth finding.

Talking Comics was a series of 78′s on the Belda Records label that came with a comic book and sheet music so you could play along. The record was a narrated story with music.   This cartoon looks like a precursor to Hanna-Barbera’s great Squidly-diddly (who shall be featured here soon)!
