Record Comments:  This premium record was available by mail order only in the UK from margarine manufacturers Summer County.  After mailing eight margarine package cut-outs to the company, fans of Mary Poppins could receive the single shown here featuring two songs from the film.

The songs are not performed by the stars of the movie. They are cover tracks by Billy Cotton and His Band with Kathie Kay, Alan Breeze, Rita Williams and The Bandits.

The record sleeve has two-color graphics of Summer County and Mary Poppins logos on the front, while the back is plain.  Also included in some mailers was a flyer for a Peter Pan record that was also available by mail order from Summer County on catalog #DIS 2.
