Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos 1st Feb 2024		Here's a link to the cartoon:



xiphophilos 1st Feb 2024		By November 2, 1942, so within 1.5 months, the record had already sold 200,000 copies. "Der Fuehrer's Face" was so popular that Disney changed the title of its animated short from "Nuttsey Land" to "Der Fuehrer's Face". So all labels that list the movie title as "Der Fuehrer's Face" are represses from November 1942 or later.



GimmeVinyl 25th Jan 2020		I see the difference.. first set is an Indianapolis pressing, the second set, a Hollywood pressing.



Bob1951 2nd Oct 2017		Label variant image for side B added. There are two spaces in the ring along the edge, same for the alternate A-side label.

LaurenceD SUBS 1st Mar 2014		Added an alternate A-side, the difference being that the Disney film is referred to as "Nuttsey Land" (the original working title) rather than "Der Fuehrer's Face". Apparently Spike Jones got permission to release his version of the song prior to the film's release. By the time the film did appear (Jan 1, 1943), it seems that Disney decided to change the film's title to match that of the hit record.
