Fourteen years ago, one of the first things I did on this weblog was post the complete 4-LP Wizard of OZ Living Literature box set I remember so fondly from my childhood. With the imminent demise of browser support for the Adobe Flash plugin, I’ve been contemplating editing each of the posts to put HTML5 tags around the MP3 links. Good things come to those who wait, because Greg Ehrbar, a Cartoon Research contributor, has made his own transfer of the audio book and posted it on YouTube.
It’s from a later re-issue. I think our set was a gift from Mom’s father, as was the American Heritage history book set, which I also have.
Yes, I remember those early posts! However, the album cover here doesn’t look like I remember it. I DO remember how we squabbled over whose turn it was to hold the book and follow along while listening. I wonder if Mom or Dad picked this great gift out?
