Record
Comments: The
release of this record coincided with the 1962 revival and
syndication of The Mickey Mouse Club. The
artwork and title of the record are the same as the 1955 issue
on catalog #MM-12. However, only 12 tracks are the same as
the original release. They include tracks 1-10, 12 and 26
(with the exception of the Mouseketeers'
March beginning on track 26 that was exclusive to the 1955 issue.) The
artists on this record include The Mouseketeers, Jimmie Dodd,
Cliff Edwards as Jiminy Cricket, Donald Duck, Doreen Tracy,
Darlene Gillespie, Roy Williams, The Mellomen and The Mickey
Mouse Club Chorus.
Subject
Notes: The Mickey Mouse
Club is
a children's television variety show that includes live-action
performances, exclusive serials and animated segments that were promoted
as Mousekatoon Time. The show was part of a deal with
ABC that help fund the building of the Disneyland Theme Park, in Anaheim
California. The
show premiered in October of 1955 and ran for three seasons, starting
out in an hour-long format and later shortened to 30 minutes. The
programs include a cast of children, known as The Mouseketeers, led by adults Jimmie Dodd and Roy Williams. In
all, 260 one-hour episodes and 130 half-hour episodes were produced. The
original show found new life in syndication in 1975. The success
of the reruns led to the creation of The New
Mickey Mouse Club in 1977 with new episodes and a new cast.
The original series was also revived in 1983,
finding a new home on the Disney Channel. Those airings paved way
for another new cast and episodes starting in
1989 under the title
of MMC.
