A Reader's Digest Presentation in association wirth Potterton Productions Inc.
-The feature itself is only 25:58 long. Goodwin scored two other Potterton productions, both released on LP: THE LITTLE MERMAID (1974) Capital EMI SQ6417, and THE HAPPY PRINCE (1974) Capital EMI SQ 6426.
THE REMARKABLE ROCKET (1974) was scored by Howard Blake. THE CHRISTMAS MESSENGER (1975) was scored by Jeff Wayne. Neither received an LP release.
- I'm still hoping that FSM might be able to release these 3 animated gems since they seem to have a good relationship with the Goodwin estate
And now that I have typed that all out, I see that the track listing is already available at www.rongoodwin.co.uk

I have all three Goodwin LPs and converted them to CD. All are beautifully orchestrated and performed with memorable themes.
I would like to see these re-issued, and if possible, include the music only tracks as well, as was done on the Howard Blake THE SNOWMAN CD. Most tracks contain the narration from the films.
The Goodwin estate might have the LP masters, but would they have the music-only tracks?
