| Forbidden Crypts Presents: |
| Dr. Seuss's "How The Grinch Stole Christmas"! |
| The Grinch has successfully displaced Ebeneezer Scrooge as the spirit of anti-Christmas for today's audience. And there are similarities. Just as Tiny Tim was a strong factor in Ebeneezer's redemption, the children are a strong factor in the Grinch's redemption. It's a pleasure to be able to hear the great Boris Karloff narration, along with the songs, and then afterwards to again hear the songs reprised. Of course, this is a short CD, just barely 30 minutes in length. One must realize that while the program was supposed to be a half hour long, nearly a third of the time was used for toy advertisements. The irony of it all, a beautiful story telling us that the joy of Christmas is in the spirit of Christmas, not in the getting toys is aired for the purpose of selling overpriced and non-imaginative toys. The Tracks Are: 1. How The Grinch Stole Christmas (The Story)(21:36) 2. Welcome Christmas(1:41) 3. Trim Up The Tree(2:56) 4. You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch(2:56) Sung by Thurl Ravenscroft (aka Tony The Tiger) 5. Welcome Christmas (Reprise)(3:35) |
