NEW Hanna-Barbera's Pic-a-Nic Basket of Cartoon Classics Themes 4 CD Box Set OOP

Description: Hanna-Barbera's Pic-a-Nic Basket of Cartoon Classics 1996 4-Disc, 182-Track Compilation Box Set and Booklet Rare & Long Out-of-Print Brand New, Factory Sealed, & in Mint Condition!* *The plastic shrink wrap is still tight and 95% intact, but has begun to pull apart along the seam in two small areas. The front of the cardboard box also displays a bit of color fading and has a small 3/8" ding along the bottom edge (see pictures). Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera, one of entertainment's most unforgettable duos, go together like peanut butter and jelly, Laverne and Shirley, and Laurel and Hardy. Having made a name for themselves with MGM's Tom and Jerry, the Hanna-Barbera team made history when they ushered Ruff and Reddy, the first made-for-television cartoon, into America's consciousness in late 1957. By 1960, The Flintstones were prime-time entertainment for the whole family, and as with its Hanna-Barbera brethren, the show's musical score not only nudged the laughs, but ingratiated itself into the very fabric of contemporary American life. Inventive, lively, and utterly recognizable, the remastered Hanna-Barbera Pic-A-Nic Basket box set is the mother lode of cartoon music. Handsomely packaged, with a faux basket handle and all, these four discs ambitiously tackle the massive canon largely assembled by lyricist Hanna and composer Hoyt Curtin. Discs one and two concentrate on the classics from the earliest tunes to a slew of Yogi Bear sounds to Space Ghost's theme and the zany Hong Kong Fooey theme. Disc three, an array of woodwinds, heavy loping tuba, poppin' slap-tongue bass clarinet, and rock- and jazz-inflected drum and guitar, pays tribute to the brilliantly animated Flintstones. Disc four, excellent filler for mix tapes, contains nearly 100 tracks of sound effects, from boings, footsteps, and explosions to bits of goofy dialogue. Bright moments are found in the trumpet-happy Jetsons theme, the groovy Scooby Doo main title, and the swingin' "Car Hop Song" from the Flintstones. These sounds, together with a terrific accompanying booklet, are altogether winning. This four-CD set from Rhino Records' Kid Rhino division is really much more intended for adult baby boomers in their forties or fifties than for any kids of the '80s, '90s, or beyond, devoted as it is to the music from the Hanna Barbera television cartoons of the late '50s, '60s, and early '70s, from Huckleberry Hound to Scooby Doo. Most of the music is the work of Hoyt Curtin, who became Hanna Barbera's resident composer/arranger in 1956 when he was asked to devise a theme for the cartoon series Ruff and Reddy. Huckleberry Hound, which was much more elaborate, followed, and after that came the title music and background scores for Yogi Bear, Pixie & Dixie, Quick Draw McGraw, Snagglepuss, Yakky Doodle, Wally Gator, McGilla Gorilla, Peter Potomus, The Jetsons, and, more memorably, The Flintstones. Even casual listeners will be amazed at the complexity of mood in the background underscores for The Flintstones and more, all of which were carefully keyed to the characters, settings, and moods of the particular program, and the differing styles that Curtin adopted -- the best of these is the Top Cat underscore, which sounds like lost George Gershwin outtakes and leftovers; Jonny Quest is the most interesting and the most serious-sounding of the extended underscores; and all of them (including Jonny Quest) are filled with surprises. The theme songs, or at least the most familiar versions of them, are so much a part of popular culture that most baby boomers will discover that they still know some of the words; it's the older, less-familiar, and often supplanted original theme material, such as "Rise and Shine" (the original 1960 Flintstones theme), that will astonish many listeners -- anyone born in 1955 or earlier may still have distant, fading memories of the songs, which haven't been heard in broadcast in more than three decades. The material is all represented in exceptionally good sound, digitized off of original studio masters, and it features many top musicians brought in by Curtin for the sessions. Disc four is the only part of this box that may be an acquired taste, comprised as it is of very familiar sound effects from the Hanna Barbera library, which have also become staples of popular culture (this reviewer's favorite is the sound of El Kabong's "Kabong"). The annotation is far more thorough than one would expect, and, indeed, gives listeners a very detailed overall history not only of the Hanna Barbera company, but also the genesis and sources of inspiration for the characters that they created.
