Description
78 rpm 8" diameter PROMOTIONAL "BUGS BUNNY" Record issued in 1948 by Capitol Records & Warner Bros Cartoons TOP Condition...vinyl looks Mint Unplayed and sounds great!! Plays clean.
This is an auction for this wonderful 1948 Christmas record by Capitol records. The recording was done on shellac over cardboard. This design approach had the advantage of cost reduction and provided an avenue for advertising by being added to boxed cereals as a promotional gift.
Warner Bros studios provided the use of Bugs Bunny (and the great voice of Mel Blanc).
Side one (the playing side) reveals Bugs dressed in a Santa outfit giving a holiday wish (see pic). The B side (not for play) offers a Happy '48 wish (1948) from the Capitol Records family...There are loads of printed names of the Capitol recording artists that were on contract at that time. (see pic) In the middle of this side are 3 printed signatures: Johnny Mercer-Glenn Wallichs-Floyd Bittaker. Mercer was a top performer and also was the person that founded Capitol records in 1942.
Not only is this a recording sound from 68 years ago but it is also somewhat of a historical document.
ENJOY!
Condition: Vinyl is Mint...I used a strong light up high powered magnifying glass to see if there were any scratches/scuffs that could be hidden within the Cartoon designed Picture disc. It looks extremely clean.
Next day shipping in a sturdy cardboard record mailer. Additional cardboard inserts will also be provided to preserve this historical item. International: $12.75
