Stephen Worth says:
In 1946, a young producer at Capitol Records, Alan Livingston was assigned the task of developing a children's line for the fledgling record company. He came up with the idea of a read-along record and book set featuring a circus clown named Bozo. The album, Bozo At The Circus, sold over a million copies, and helped to push Capitol to the top of the charts.
Along with Disney voice man, Pinto Colvig and musical director, Billy May, Livingston also produced Bozo On The Farm, Bozo And The Birds, and this one… Bozo And His Rocket Ship. All of the sets were re-released in the LP era, but this one was heavily edited, for obvious reasons. In this album, Bozo makes a survey of just about every ethnic stereotype imaginable! But that isn't the reason we're featuring it. We're spotlighting the wonderful work of the illustrators, Norm McCabe and Cecil Beard.
