Vintage 1957 LP "Around the World in Eighty Days" - A Living Sound Record of Background Music for Michael Todd's Academy Award Film Composed by Victor Young. the Hollywood transcription Orchestra. The Ultimate in Masterseal Hi-Fi High Fidelity. Made in Canada by Universal Record Mfg. Co. Toronto. "To Keep Canadians Working" This vintage LP is a fascinating artifact of mid-century Canadian manufacturing and cinematic history. It represents the "High Fidelity" boom of the late 1950s, capitalizing on the massive success of the 1956 film Around the World in Eighty Days, which won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Score. Victor Young was a prolific composer who tragically passed away just after completing this score, making it a poignant final work. The "Around the World" theme became a global standard, known for its sweeping, romantic waltz style that captured the grandeur of the Victorian-era travel depicted in the film. "Transcription" orchestras were often composed of high-caliber studio musicians who re-recorded popular film scores for budget labels like Masterseal. These recordings were marketed to the growing "Hi-Fi" enthusiast market, promising a theater-like sound experience at home. The most unique aspect of this specific pressing is its industrial heritage in Toronto. During the 1950s and 60s, Canada had high tariffs on imported American goods. To circumvent these costs, labels would send "lacquer masters" across the border to be pressed locally. he Slogan: The phrase "To Keep Canadians Working" was a patriotic marketing tool often used during the post-war era to encourage consumers to buy domestic goods. It reflects the nationalist economic sentiment of the St. Laurent and Diefenbaker years. Other LP RECORD Lots are listed in Lot #76 to Lot #82.
