About this Record
Produced as part of Hanna-Barbera’s legendary live-action and animated variety show The Banana Splits Adventure Hour, this 1968 US Decca 7″ single features bubblegum pop magic arranged and conducted by Jack Eskew, with production oversight by David Mook. The Banana Splits—costumed anthropomorphic animal characters Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper, and Snorky—were voiced and performed musically by top-tier studio musicians, delivering delightfully infectious psych-tinged sunshine pop that rivals the era’s best studio creations.
Featuring the catchy, uptempo sunshine-pop track ‘Wait Til Tomorrow’ backed with the theme song variant ‘We’re The Banana Splits’, this single is a nostalgic gem for collectors of late-1960s Saturday morning television memorabilia, bubblegum garage pop, and vintage US Decca color-spectrum pressings.
