Record Comments:  This record was issued three times, each with the same catalog number but with slightly different artwork and content.  The full title of the album is Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Club Mousekedances And Other Mouseketeer Favorites.

The first issue includes a 1975 Mike Curb Congregation disco version of the Mickey Mouse Club March on track 1 with a back cover exclusive to the 21-song track listing.  A Cast Photo Album booklet similar to the book pages of catalog #3815 is also included in this issue.

The second issue includes the 1955 Mellomen version of the Mickey Mouse Club March on track 1, with the Mike Curb version on track 10.  The cover still shows "21" hits, even though the issue includes "22" tracks.  The back cover is the most different of the three issues.  It groups the songs by artists in lieu of play order and the Spin and Marty photo replaces the Mickey Mouse Club logo.  The front cover is also different, with additional text at the bottom center, "Performed by Mouseketeers and Others."

The third issue includes the first vinyl appearance of the full original Mickey Mouse Club March soundtrack on track 1, with the Mike Curb version on track 10.  The back cover is similar to the first issue but with the additional Mickey Mouse Club March listed at the end of side one.

The Disney Cast on this album includes The Mouseketeers, The Mickey Mouse Club Chorus, Jimmie Dodd, Annette Funicello, David Stollery, Time Considine, Triple R Cast, The Mike Curb Generation, Ruth Carrell, Jimmy MacDonald, The Mellomen and Cliff Edwards.

The record cover boasts STEREOPHONIC, but the stereo effect is reprocessed from monophonic.  However, the sound quality is very good and rivals other releases.

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.
