Description
Alright, Admit it! You've looked for this little gem from time to time, and it just doesn't pop up very often. Well here it is.
For sale is The Green Hornet Original Television Score on 20th Century records S 3186, Stereo from 1966, Starring Van Williams as 'Britt Reid' and Bruce Lee as 'Kato'. Bruce Lee showing his extraordinary athletic abilities in the martial arts.
Cover = VG to VG+, cover has great seams and fully legible spine, good corners, just has moderate shelf wear on front as seen in the photo. Still a nice piece of super hero history. Cool, kind of psychedelic logo and all.
Vinyl = VG+, has a number of fine paper scuffs, plays and sounds great, with only the occasional crackle, even during breaks
A more serious program than the more popular Batman, with whom the characters sometimes integrated. The Green Hornet and his crime-fighting companion, Kato (played by the legendary Bruce Lee), were, unlike Batman and Robin, considered a menace to society. This actually helped them in their battle against crime, as it led the hoodlums and gangsters of the underworld to trust them, before the duo lowers the boom on them. Despised by society, their alter egos were more trusted, as the Green Hornet was really newspaper publisher and TV station owner Britt Reid who, according to the storyline of the radio version, was agreat-nephew of John Reid, AKA the Lone Ranger. At a time when superheroes wore purple tights, walked on "walls" created by sideways-mounted cameras, and had plots that most 4th graders laughed at, "The Green Hornet" stood alone in attempting to bring realism to the masked vigilante.
