"THE LITTLE MERMAID COLLECTION" 1990, 2000 Read-Along Triple Pack CD

The legendary Roy Dotrice narrated three Read-Alongs in 1990, all adapted from Walt Disney's classic "The Little Mermaid".

In the year 2000, all three stories were packaged in a bundle called "Disney's The Little Mermaid Collection - Triple Story Pack".

While some copies of these stories exist on YouTube, they're usually being read by the uploader. Finding the original audio has been tricky... until now!

All three stories are presented here, with full voice work from the cast of the film, and parts of Alan Menken's iconic score!

These are great tales for any fan of Ariel and her dreams of becoming "part of our world"... Enjoy!

"JAILBAIT!" 2000 MTV TV Movie




"JAILBAIT!" was a made-for-TV movie released in the year 2000 exclusively on MTV.

It was a pretty terrible movie then, and it's definitely a terrible movie now. However, it has Matt Frewer, and I'm a sucker for pretty much anything he's ever been in.

I have very vivid memories of this movie when it was first announced/aired. It was a big deal for MTV to be airing an R-rated movie that featured nudity. Of course, it was all for the sake of the film's message, which is to exercise caution when engaging in premarital sex. At least, I'm sure that's what the folks working on the movie told themselves while making it.

I've uploaded it to Archive.org because it is absolutely impossible to stream anywhere, and is only available on physical media via third-party sellers who are charging ridiculous amounts for it.

If MTV asks me to remove it, I will; but until then, have a laugh or two... whether intentionally or not!

MYSTIC FORCE - "ANOTHER WORLD" - 1992 Heavy Metal EP CD

Mystic Force (sometimes labeled with a hyphen as "Mystic-Force") is a Maryland Heavy Metal band in the tradition of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc.

While they never hit the heights of the bands that preceded/inspired them, the members are still active!

I came across this EP, "Another World", when I was out thrifting and I knew I had to get simply based on the cover. There's just something about the traditional "wizards, skulls, demons, dragons", etc Fantasy art on Heavy Metal albums that makes the cash fly out of my wallet.

Even with only 3 songs, and with nothing majorly original about them, this is still a pretty good EP.

Seems to be HTF online aside from a few YouTube rips, so I figured I'd share the individual tracks in high quality.

Bang Your Head and Enjoy!

"BLUE'S BIG MUSICAL MOVIE" - 2000 Nick Jr. / Kid Rhino Soundtrack CD

As if one hard-to-find "Blue's Clues" album wasn't enough, it appears that the Soundtrack to the 2000 film is also absent from streaming/download services!

This film was one of my son's favorites; we actually wore out a copy of the DVD. The soundtrack is great, and features the legendary Ray Charles and vocal group The Persuasions.

From beginning to end, this album tells the musical tale of putting together a production, explaining what Notes, Tempo, and Rhythm are, and teaching young ones the fundamental basics of songwriting and performing.

Like the other "Blue's Clues" album I shared, this one's a definite for any fan of everyone's favorite clue-hunting puppy. Give a listen, and Enjoy!

"GOODNIGHT BLUE: A NIGHTTIME MUSICAL ADVENTURE" - 1999 Nick Jr. / Kid Rhino CD

I am amazed that, somehow, there are little-to-no digital versions of classic "Blue's Clues" albums to stream or download. My son was absolutely obsessed with this show when he was a toddler, and so I ended up having to hunt down every CD, DVD, and toy I could find.

This album was one of the first I bought him, way back in 2007 via Amazon. It's a great little album that sequences a typical child's nighttime routine: getting in your PJ's, brushing your teeth, reading a story, and drifting off to Dream Land. The bonus track even has some ambient nighttime sounds to help your little one doze off!

Once I saw that no major streaming site or storefront had this, I knew I had to share my son's copy. Download and Enjoy... and sleep tight!

"POKEMON GOLD & SILVER" 2000 Promotional CD-ROM

What we've got here is a tiny little CD-ROM (and I mean tiny; the overall size of the entire disc is under 70MB) that was released in the year 2000.

It was made by Nintendo / GAME FREAK to promote the upcoming "Gold" and "Silver" titles in the "Pokemon" game series, as well as promote the upcoming "Pokemon: The Movie 2000".

It's got a few wallpapers, some music tracks, video clips, and other goodies reminiscent of Promo CDs of the time.

Perfect for a little nostalgia trip!

"GARFIELD: THE KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR" - 1984 Kid Stuff Read-Along Record

Happy New Year, Sanctum Dwellers! Hopefully you're ready to tackle 2022 as confidently as Garfield tackles a dragon in his 1984 Read-Along "Garfield: The Knight In Shining Armor"!

This cute little 7-minute tale is intended for very young audiences, and teaches the lesson that appearances are deceiving!

As a little kid, I wore the Hell out of this record. I've always had a soft spot for the jaunty little opening and closing theme. Both sides of the record contained the same story, so I'd just flip it over and over.

However because of this, this is one of my most worn-out records. Under Design digitized both sides as best they could, and then I painstakingly cobbled together a Frankenstein'd version using the cleanest bits from each side, removing the heavy skips (of which there were at least a half-dozen), and taking out as much static as I could. You won't find a better copy of this tale anywhere, probably ever, unless I can find a sealed copy in the future.

** UPDATE: Jon from GenXGrownUp informed me that he also had a copy of this story, and supplied me with a digitization! I've included it in the downloads below. Thanks, Jon! **

If you're a lifelong "Garfield" fan and want to hear Lorenzo Music's take on the tubby tabby, in perhaps a story you've never heard before, then this one's for you. Enjoy!
