bulletI've heard there's a 7 inch, 78 RPM record with the Leave It To Beaver theme and some other Leave It To Beaver music, supposedly copyright 1958 by Gomalco Productions. Ain't never seen it, but been told it exists.

bulletJerry Mathers songs: Jerry Mathers formed the band around the time of his high school graduation in 1966 after Leave it To Beaver ended, Jerry Mathers and Richard Correll form a rock band, "Beaver and the Trappers". Jerry does guitar and vocals, Richard is on drums.. They recorded a couple about 15 singles "Happiness Is Havin'" b/w "In Misery", "Don't Cha Cry", and "Wind Up Toy". Notice that one Wind-Up Toy record has a white label, and the other has a red label. I've heard the one with the white label was a promo sent to radio stations, and the read label record was sold at the stores. The A-side of Happiness was written by Jerry and Rich Correll (who played the role of Beaver's pal Richard Rickover on "Leave It To Beaver", and was the drummer of the group and arranger of both songs). Correll and an individual credited as R. Kakebeen wrote the B-side "In Misery". The record was released on the White Cliffs label (# 236) and was produced by Hugh McFarland. It was distributed by Dover Records, Inc. of New Orleans, La. Jerry once noted that the single "went to number one in both Hawaii and Alaska," however it never charted on Billboard and was likely simply a local hit. It is unclear whether the band record any other records, however Jerry "Beaver" Mathers put out the single "Wind-Up Toy" b/w "Don'tcha Cry" in 1962 which never charted.

The A side contains song about Buffy from the 60's show "Family Affair" with the question "Why did she have to go and O.D.?, What about Uncle Bill, Jody and Sissy?". Heard this artist passed away a while ago

Punk Rock Album: A 1981 garage punk rock band named, "The Hugh Beaumont Experience", from Fort Worth, Texas cut this album. Recorded by a group of teens, the album was produced by Cygnus records. Only 500 albums were cut, but precious few actually made it into distribution. The story is a lady/girlfriend at Cygnus had a fight with the lead singer, and destroyed all of the albums after production. The only albums that survived were the demo copies that made it out.
