This album was big in my early childhood in the early '50s. A white boy in Texas, I grew up appalled that anyone could be mean to Uncle Remus or his people. He taught me anti-racism.

I was actually able to find SOTS on DVD recently. I surprised my dad with it last Saturday. Dad's 80 year old, and this was the 1st movie he ever saw in a theater. The racial issues aside, it actually is a good story. Uncle Remus is actually the hero of the movie, because he helps a young boy cope with not having his father around, by telling him stories.

@RingoandCarlin 2 жыл бұрын

I was the same way. I use to watch the Zip a Dee Doo Dah tape and see all these Brer Rabbit merchandise and books and had no idea what it was from and it took me until I was 10 to finally find out what the name of the film was and I'd been trying to find it for years. I finally got to see it when I was 13 and I loved it.

Holy shit. Millennial born in ‘93 and this brought me back. Before my mom graduated nursing school, we had laserdisc (which I had Pooh on!) and record players before upgrading to VHS and eventually DVD. My dad was especially fond of records and would often thrift and garage sale hunt. This was one of those lucky thrifts. Eventually years later we became WDW passholders and Splash Mountain was my favorite. Thanks for this!

@closetdisneynerd 4 жыл бұрын

I couldn't rid of it completely. It appears shortly at the end of the record as well. I was able to lessen it a bit from what it originally was. I only use digital noise removal extremely sparingly because it attacks the over all dynamic range of the sound. I don't think this is 'static' either. I think the record may have been played with a bad needle at some point, damaging the groove. I was able to lessen it but any more would have made it sound worse so I decided to mainly leave it in. At least it's only momentary.

@@closetdisneynerd The record static and pop is normal for that era and should be preserved as such. This is what it sounded like to kids back then as most of us just had old worn out small cheap record players that we beat up playing these 45s constantly all day. That's how those of us who were there in that time remember it. Digitally taking it out to clean it up is erasing history in a way. The static and pop is part of the experience. Keep it authentic for the young generations who have never seen a record player in their life.

Tar baby didn't become a racial phrase until much later. At this time (late 1800s) a tar baby is what people (and slaves in particular) used to call a situation that got worse the more you tried to fix it... Exactly like what happened to Rabbit as he kept trying to teach that tar baby a lesson in manners.
