DANNY KAYE and the ANDREWS SISTERSin one of the first recordings of the famous Woodpecker SongThe Woody Woodpecker (Tibbles-Idriss) by Danny Kaye & The Andrews Sisters, accompanied by The Harmonica GentlemenA 1948 ‘recording ban’ hit, using only ‘union-approved’ musical instruments. Having successfully collaborated several months earlier on the tune “Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo),” the comic and the trio teamed up for this top-20 charting version of the novelty hit.During the nearly year-long strike by James C. Petrillo’s American Federation of Musicians, new vocal recordings for commercial release could be produced only as a cappella (all vocal...no instruments) or using such lesser, ‘union-approved’ tools as harmonicas, ukuleles and toy xylophones.Danny Kaye (2) And The Andrews Sisters – The Woody Woodpecker / Sweet MarieLabel: Brunswick – 03981Format: Shellac, 10", 78 RPMCountry: UKReleased: 1948Genre: JazzStyle: SwingA Danny Kaye (2) And The Andrews Sisters– The Woody WoodpeckerWritten-By – Tibbles*, Idriss*B The Andrews Sisters– Sweet MariePiano – Carmen CavallaroWritten-By – Moore*Accompanied By [Uncredited] – Carmen Cavallaro And His OrchestraPiano [Uncredited], Leader [Uncredited], Conductor [Uncredited] – Carmen CavallaroVocals – Danny Kaye (2) (tracks: A)Vocals [Uncredited] – LaVerne Andrews, Maxine Andrews, Patty AndrewsLabel rim text in French.Side A cut at Decca's recording studios 5505 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, California on June 4 of 1948 & originally issued on british Brunswick 03981.Side B cut in Decca's New York recording studios from the 50 West 57th Street on May 29 of 1947 & originally issued on Decca 24102 & british Brunswick 03981. Orig Issue British Brunswick 10" 78 rpm recordCondition: EXCELLENT MINUS, scuffs, plays very quiet lightest hissA GREAT COPY "The Woody Woodpecker Song"In 1947, Woody got his theme song when musicians George Tibbles and Ramey Idriss wrote "The Woody Woodpecker Song", making ample use of the character's famous laugh. Kay Kyser's 1948 recording of the song, with Harry Babbitt's laugh interrupting vocalist Gloria Wood, became one of the biggest hit singles of 1948.[18][19] Other artists did covers, including Woody's original voice actor, Mel Blanc. Lantz first used "The Woody Woodpecker Song" in Wet Blanket Policy (1948), and it became the first and only song from an animated short subject to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1948, but it lost out to "Buttons and Bows".Woody Woodpecker is an animated character that appeared in theatrical short films produced by the Walter Lantz Studio and Universal Animation Studio and distributed by Universal Pictures[2][3] since 1940. Woody's last Woody Woodpecker was produced by Walter Lantz in 1972.[4]Woody, an anthropomorphic woodpecker, was created in 1940 by Lantz and storyboard artist Ben "Bugs" Hardaway, who had previously laid the groundwork for two other screwball characters, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, at the Warner Bros. cartoon studio in the late 1930s. Woody's character and design evolved over the years, from an insane bird with an unusually garish design to a more refined-looking and acting character in the vein of the later Chuck Jones version of Bugs Bunny.[5] Woody was originally voiced by prolific voice actor Mel Blanc, who was succeeded in the shorts by Danny Webb, Kent Rogers, Dick Nelson, Ben Hardaway, and, finally, Grace Stafford (wife of Walter Lantz).[ More Great Records on sale right now: CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE MORE GREAT RECORDS CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE ALL ITEMS - VINTAGE BOOKS, VICTROLA and TURNTABLE ITEMS, CDs, Books and DVDs http://shop.ebay.com/carsten_sf/m.html ==== A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING: As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

Quick note on grading: The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise."EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing."VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing."Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise. These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment. Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
