Wished I'd listened to the clips first
Can only blame myself.The audio clips and buyer reviews were all there but I leaped first."Cast Recording"?Noooo way.This is some group re-singing the songs from the original show, but completely void of the familiar, if hokey and shrill, voices and sound effects of the cartoon.The artwork that shipped with this (seems I had to supply my own CD case) seems genuine enough.I recall that Golden Records did a lot of these cheap, brightly coloured plastic 45 RPM "homages" to TV shows back in the early 60's.I recall it because the feeling of disappointment when I played this CD was completely familiar.LISTEN TO THE AUDIO CLIPS *FIRST* and decide.It will help you avoid trying to summon the mighty Hercules to dispatch the goons who put this together.O-lympiaaaaaahhhh!

Not So Mighty Hercules -- with an explanation
This CD is welcome for fanatics of early 60's kiddie ersatz, but apart from the art work and some track titles has very little to offer that fans of the Mighty Hercules cartoon show from Trans-Lux will remember. Those seeking some of the lushly orchestrated music used as underscoring should look to an out-of-print Intrada CD called Creature From The Black Lagoon, devoted to the music of Hans J. Salter. The horn-laden music underscoring the scenes in which Hercules put on his magic ring and led it up to the lightning, and the heroics that followed, were all lifted from the score of the 1955 movie The Black Shield of Falworth, co-written by Salter, a suite from which -- including the "Hercules" music -- is included on the "Creature From The Black Lagoon" CD from Intrada.

Herc should save us from the fakery!
This is not the powerful and well orchestrated music of the 60's cartoon I watched on Sunday mornings. Who was allowed to put this hoowey out? ... Read more

a fun CD covering Disney's long history
This CD cannot, of course, cover all of Disney's history .... but they do a very nice job of sampling it. Fantastic
We (my 4 year old daughter and I) listen to this in the car constantly.The music is very vibrant, it keeps her going and going.Our favorites are Monkey's Uncle with Annette Funicello and the Color Spectrum.It will keep you very entertained and you'll find yourself singing and humming the tunes all day long.

Wonderful!
I discovered many new songs on this CD and all are awesome.The Ugly Bug Ball and the Color Spectrum song are my favorites, but be careful, you may end up singing "red, yellow, green, red, blue blue blue, red, purple, green, yellow, orange, red, red" :)This is a very cheerful CD and as you can tell by the contents it contains songs from throughout Disney's history. Great for kids and adults.I just wish Disney would now re-release some of the older movies. ... Read more
