Record Comments: On this unique concept album, Annette Funicello teams up with folk group The Wellingtons and The All-American Chorus to bring you college cheers from campuses around the US.

Although Annette is mainly talk-cheering on this album, while the guys take on the vocal arrangements, she does break into song on four tracks; #6 Yale Boola, #19 Come Join The Band, #20 Ramblin' Wreck From Georgia Tech and #24 The Eyes Of Texas.

The Wellingtons cover five songs on their own and Annette joins them on one, rounding out the college alma maters cheers on this album to twenty-four. Although the vinyl has visible tracks, most of the songs run into each other as a continuous round of cheering.

The album was released in both mono (#BV-3320) and stereo ( #STER-3320.) Both issues have identical covers with different backs that are cropped slightly upwards or downwards to reveal the appropriate mono or stereo notation. There are also at least two variations for the inner gatefold pages. One shows a wide photo of Annette on campus on the first page and another shows a cropped of photo Annette with the insertion of a photo of The Wellingtons to the right.

Subject Notes: Annette Funicello was born on October 22, 1942 in Utica, New York and died on April 8, 2013 in Bakersfield, California. To Disney fans, Annette is best known as one of the original Mouseketeers on the Disney television show The Mickey Mouse Club, that first aired in October of 1955.

In 1958, she starred in her own serial, Annette, that ran for a total of 19 episodes as part of final season of The Mickey Mouse Club. In the show, Annette played a young farm girl transitioning to an upper-class neighborhood.

Subject Notes: The Wellingtons started out in 1962 under the name of The Lincolns, an American pop folk group from Champaign, Illinois. They were discovered by veteran Disney songwriter Terry Gilkyson, while they were all attending the same fraternity. The quartet later changed their name to The Wellingtons for the remainder of their musical career. The group includes singer-instrumentalist George Patterson, Ed Wade, Kirby Johnson and Rick Jarrard.

Although The Wellingtons have an impressive catalog with the Disney Company, they are best known for recording a non-Disney theme song for the first season of Gilligan's Island. For Disney, they can be heard in multi-part harmonies on classics theme songs from The Wonderful World of Color, Davy Crockett, Savage Sam, Thomasina and others. They also covered Kirk Douglas' memorable song, A Whale Of A Tale, from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
