Cool Jonny Quest Vinyl
This was a surprisingly enjoyable listen: it's a rare 1965 Hanna-Barbera record featuring an original JONNY QUEST story based on Jules Verne's 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA. The story was written by prolific H-B storyman Charles Shows, and the LP begins and closes with Hoyt Curtin's superfunky QUEST music. Be sure to look around the rest of the Check the Cool Wax blog for hard-to-find tunes by the likes of Louis Prima, Lalo Schifrin, Ann Margret, Herbie Mann and Colonel Sanders (yes, that Col. Sanders).
