Warm, Fuzzy Nostalgia Or Ungodly Crap? You Decide

As you may have seen on my Flickr page, I just found a treasure trove/trash pile of old Hanna-Barbera kiddie LPs (both sleeve scans and uploadable mp3s) at the Children's Records and More blog.

None of them are all that good, but I only had two of these records as a kid, and I was always curious to hear to the others. The neat thing about them is that they use real H-B voice talent (except Alan Reed and Mel Blanc), music and sound effects! Plus the sleeve art is pretty cool. Check 'em out!

Thanks to Men-oo-she-a for the tip-off!

Cool H-B Record Sleeve Art

A co-worker of mine hipped me to this web page that sells obscure LPs converted into cheap mp3 files. I was excited to see that they have a couple of the old Hanna-Barbera records there, too! If you get an album from the site, they throw in a scan of the album sleeve. Neat!

I saw a bunch of these when I was a kid (on the back of the Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm LP), and always loved the 'realistic' lighting applied to 'cartoony' characters. I still think they look awesome - even the font choices are cool! Does anyone know who painted these?
