Little John Records was a unique children's label from the early 1950s that exclusively released their recordings on diminutive five-inch (12.7 cm) records. These discs were pressed using a peculiar non-vinyl plastic material. The label issued three series of ten records each, with the first series featuring an additional eleventh release containing an alternate version of "The Lollipop Bear," which shared the same catalog number as the original.
This video showcases records from the second "200" series, which was similar in content to the first "100" series but featured a different selection of songs. The second series includes a mix of traditional children's songs and original compositions by the label's in-house songwriter, Pat Ballard, who is best known for composing the timeless hit "Mr. Sandman." Interestingly, records from the second series appear on eBay much less frequently than those from the first or third series, making them particularly rare finds for collectors. I meticulously transferred and restored these selections, and despite the challenging condition of some of the records, I am thrilled with the results obtained from these scarce discs.
It is important to note that Little John Records was a budget children's label, which accounts for the modest sound quality of these recordings. Nevertheless, these unique releases provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of budget children's music in the early 1950s recording industry. The charming melodies and simple arrangements capture the essence of a bygone era and serve as a delightful reminder of the enduring appeal of classic children's music.
