Mighty Marvel Marching Society

















































I love the classic Marvel look and stories. Here is a song from a floppy record that was given out to members of the Mighty Marvel Marching Society, the Marvel Comics fan club in the 60's. I'm a little confused about the exact name of the song. The envelope says Scream Along With Marvel, but the record says March-A-Long With Marvel. I guess I'll call it the March-A-Long... Check out the awesome artwork on this. I've slowly been collecting things from the MMM's when I find them. Good stuff. Sorry, I don't know who the singers are.

THE MARVEL SUPERHEROES HAVE ARRIVED


MARCH-A-LONG WITH MARVEL

    Thanks so much for posting this. There is a great Justice League song album that sounds much like this.

    I still have this record, though it got a fold in it from years of wear (it makes an interesting bumping noise when played). You can't say you have this problem about too many records. When I joined the MMMS, I used an older coupon that had a cheaper price... they sent me MOST of the membership kit! I got what I deserved... but it did come with the record. That and the "Make Mine Marvel" button I still have! - hcc

    Here's a question I'd love to know the answer to - was this used as the theme to the old, barely animated Marvel Super Hero cartoons in the 60s?

    I've never seen a fully packaged episode - on the segments for each hero (Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Sub Mariner - I think that's all...)

    Does it really say "the exotic AND EROTIC aquatic superhero, or have I finally lost it?

    The proper name for these type of records is a Soundsheet or Evatone Soundsheet. I've written a history of them in issue #3 of my zine Generation Exploitation. The McDonald's and Mr. Bill soundsheets are pretty dope too!
