Imagine if you will a world where there was no Grinch Christmas Television Special. Where there was no You're a Mean One Mr Grinch song. Where there was no Classic Boris Karloff narration or beautiful Chuck Jones animation. Zero Mostel (you probably know him playing Max Bialystock in the original producers movie) was asked to do a new narration of the story for a record. This may be a case of the most unneeded remake ever. I know it's just a record and not a television show, but it should have never happened. Still, for someone like me there is some joy in having this incredibly strange and at time very scary piece of history. I have edited together some of it's most "memorable" moments for your listening pleasure.
We would again get a horrible version of this classic with the Ron Howard & Jim Carry trainwreck, but I loath that so much & I shall speak of it no more.
