Hello All,

I am looking for an old space-related LP record (hopefully, a CD version of it) that was narrated by Willy Ley. I remember that its jacket art showed the cone-shaped, delta-winged manned spacecraft (which were to have been launched atop huge, conical lower stages) that Wernher von Braun described in the "Collier's" magazine articles in the 1950s. Some of the songs on it went like this (in part, as I only remember fragments of them):

"The Weather Satellite"

'Is it raining in Paris? Will it be cool in New York? Will it snow tomorrow night? Should we bundle up real tight? Let us ask the weather satellite.'

"TV Show from the Sky"

'One fine day there'll be/A big TV show from the sky/From twenty thousand miles above the ground/we'll see what's happening for miles around.'

"Gravity"

'The smaller the planet, the less you will weigh/The bigger the planet, the more you will weigh/That's the rule for you and me/That's the law...of gravity.'

Does anyone remember the name of this record? If so, is a CD version of it available? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Could this be the one?

No, that one is a "spoken word" record, while the one I had had mostly songs--but that is a very interesting LP nonetheless! The cover photograph of Willy Ley and Wernher von Braun holding a Bumper-WAC Corporal model is in Erik Bergaust's biography of Wernher von Braun.

Here it is! The LP record I had was called "A Child's Introduction to Outer Space" (see: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...willy-139686842 ). I'll look to see if a CD version of it is available.
