Happy Songs from Gilbert and Sullivan

This record, which I heard about from Bob Lang, is a G&S children's album. Each song is preceded by a short explanation of the circumstances of the operetta and how it fits in. The "Happy Singers and Orchestra" are not identified, but Bob feels that they "really do the songs justice."

I'm not sure how many children got their introduction to G&S from this type of record, but I suppose the producers deserve some credit for trying. Adults will probably find that one listen-through of this album is enough.
