Record Comments:  The release of this record coincided with the 1955 introduction of The Mickey Mouse Club.  The artwork and title of the record are the same as a later 1962 issue on catalog #DQ-1227.  However, only 12 tracks were re-used for the DQ-1227 issue.  They include tracks 1, 2, 5, 9, 14, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25 and 26 (with the exception of the original 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, Ruth Carrell, Thurl Ravenscroft, The Mellomen and The Mickey Mouse Club Chorus.

There are few notable tracks on this release that include Thurl Ravenscroft's first solo outside of the Mellomen on The British Grenadier and The Pencil Song that Jimmie Dodd was hired to write for an episode of Disneyland.  That song ultimately landed Jimmie Dodd a permanent home in the studio's music department, after department head, Jimmy Johnson, heard his demo.

Matrix Number:  MM-12-SIDE-1 N2 B-15928 / MM-12 SIDE 2-N2 B-15929

 

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.
