Yankee Stadium 50th Anniversary Record

Yankee Stadium, "The House That Ruth Built," in 1923 was to undergo a major renovation after the 1973 season. The Yankees wanted to commemorate the great history of the Stadium for the fans. The Yankees turned to the Fleetwood Recording Co. to accomplish the goal. Fleetwood produced "Yankee Stadium: The Sounds Of A Half Century" 33⅓ RPM 7" Microsonic record. On the final game of the 1973 season, September 30, each of the 32,238 on hand that day received the 50th anniversary record.

The record was a success but many fans who were unable to attend that game wanted a copy. Fleetwood responded by including the album in their catalogue and issued a 12" LP record. A Flexi-Disc copy of the record was also produced by Eva-Tone Soundsheets, and inserted into the 1974 Yankee Yearbook.

"Yankee Stadium" The Sounds of A Half Century features the greatest moments in Yankee Stadium's 50 year history in this colorful commemorative album. All the action and excitement from the house that Ruth Built. Narrated by "The voice of the Yankees" Mel Allen, "How about that". The cover Features Yankee Greats Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, and Lou Gehrig. The back has a short bio of "The most Famous sports Arena in America". The Record itself, features the 50 year history of events at Yankees Stadium. "From Babe Ruth to Bobby Murcer - its all here..." It also covers the Historic Mass for peace by Pope Paul VI, Boxing, and Giant Football events.

Voices on the Album include Mel Allen, Red Barber, Curt Gowdy, Frank Messer, Phil Rizzuto, and Bob Wolf. The 7" microsonic record has compatible stereo to a 33⅓ RPM recording. It is equal in quality and playing time to 12 LP record. The exclusive Fleetwood microsonic process permits up to three times the normal playing time. Produced by the Fleetwood Recording Company Inc. Revere, Massachusetts.
