Cultural Facts:

1. Mr. Magoo Builds a Hi-Fi: Side one turns the cartoon character into an audio comedy, with Jim Backus voicing Magoo as he attempts to assemble a do-it-yourself hi-fi system. Daws Butler appears as Waldo while Dennis Farnon's orchestra supplies the musical chaos around them.
2. Marni Nixon Is Hiding on Side Two: The Mother Magoo Suite features soprano Marni Nixon, years before she became famous as Hollywood's secret singing voice for actresses in films like West Side Story, My Fair Lady and The King and I.
3. Farnon Helped Create the Grammys: Dennis Farnon had become RCA's West Coast A&R chief around the time of this album and was one of the five founding members of the Recording Academy in 1957, the organization that would go on to establish the Grammy Awards.
