Da bears!

Not that cuddly. Kinda scary.

This is on Diplomat Records which was “a product of the Synthetic Plastics Co.”, New Jersey. I guess if you had the plastic and could press the vinyl, you could put out a record. It says on the back cover, “Diplomat Records are the leading quality line of value priced phonograph records.” “Fine records need not be expensive.” Labels like Diplomat, Halo and Hollywood just recycled stock music by anonymous groups, orchestras and symphonies. Background music for the budget-conscious. While the great labels recorded new music by great artists packaged in the work of the best photographers and graphic designers, the cheap records put out by plastic companies remain of interest only to collectors of kitch and cultural artifacts.

FYI, they must have run out of “bear” songs as the last two on the record are “Ozzie the Ostrich” and “Pancho the Circus Donkey.”

I love kid’s records like this. Something sweet and innocent about it. I’m not even sure these fellas can really play.
