The first record I ever owned. Sort of.

It was stamped on the back of a cereal box, complete with a dotted line to cut it out on, and I did, and had it for years.

    That record or cereal box is probably a collectors item today.

    Edit: Heh, [$19 bucks]

    (https://www.ebay.com/itm/185187155061) I found out from a YT short

    I watched the Archies on TV in the 70s as a kid, and I thought all the songs at the end of the shows were meh.

    I had no idea some of them actually charted in the US. Well, actually I so young that I wasn't aware what a singles or album sales chart was at the time.

    I guess they tried to repeat the formula with other cartoons from that era with songs at the end of the weekly episodes: Josie & The Pussycats for sure, Scooby Doo(?), Sid & Marty Krofft shows like the Banana Splits, and I'm sure there were others.

    Yeah - none of the later ones really caught on.

    Speaking of the Banana Splits though...
