HAPPY BIRTHDAY (found at a thrift store)

sweet!

lucky for me... I only paid a quarter for it...

pucker up and blow!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (found at a thrift store) by stOOpidgErL.

like SERIOUSLY- best 25 cents ever spent!
I really just wanted the album cover...
I found a different yellow vinyl 45 and slipped it in here instead! lol!
The record that I ended up getting was from the Little Nipper(!) Junior Series and it has the songs 1001 Western Nights and also Allee Bamee And The Forty Horse Theives. sweet!

[edit / update]: I went back to the thrift-store and got the record that actually belongs in this sleeve. It is now complete!

-Added to theCream of the Crop pool as most favorited.

This is great!
And in a moment of faux-dyslexia, I read the band's name as "Shorty and the Longfellows"

the band's name is sweet!

no diastema, it's the Happy Fellows, we danced to them for many long hours in the early 1950's. And no matter the threats I will not reveal why the leader was named Shorty Long.

You find the best "stuff". What thrift stores do you frequent, any particular ones have the best treasures?

BarGal says:

I found it on ebay without the colorful jacket for $30...

The title of the listing is '45: 1949-57 Shorty Long / Blue Bird Childrens Record

stOOpidgErL says:

BarGal....

$30??? did it have any bids??? it was only 25 cents at the thrift store and I switched the record inside for something else! :o(
if it's worth $30 I got to go back and buy it for a quarter!

no way, stoopidboi! those colors are my fave!

BarGal says:

No, no bids...but now may be the time to list it at a lower price, with that one out there so high. This listing has 10 days left on it.

Ah back to the times when little girls dressed like little girls and not like copies of their brothers. Especially for parties, oh the pretty dresses and shoes...

Better to dress like their brothers than like little Britney HO wanna-be's... I always had a fondness for patent leather mary-janes, myself...

Hello,

I'm an administrator for the group ~GiRLsStuFf~ and I've just noticed your great pic.
It would go together so well with the group's main idea.
It'd be great if you'd consider joining the group. :)
I must mention that I just started the group, so please don't let the small number of members
and photos scare you off. It's only the beginning. :)

Kind regards, Linda

hope to see you soon in ~GiRLsStuFf~

Hey! Is it possible you could email me these songs to me? I have a theory Shorty Long and the Happy Fellows were actually The Sons of the Pioneers, and would love to be able to compare the voices.
