Discs of Coffee Break

Remember Read-Along Adventures? One illustrated book. One 7-inch record. One popular movie tie-in. I had a bunch of these – Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark stand out (along with Three Horn the Dinosaur, which wasn’t the same brand but was the same idea) but I had completely forgotten about them until I saw The Haunted Closet post about the TRON Read-Along Adventure. Get your 80s geek nostalgia on!
I loved those, I would play the Star Wars one and act it out at the same time, as if I had friends with me!
There is nothing that will make me forget the Gremilns one I had as a kid. Scare the crap out of me.
And I just saw that there is a repository for all of them: http://www.readalongadventures.com/
Oh yeah I totally had the Dark Crystal read-along. It was weird to hear that dramatic Trevor Jones score coming out of a Fisher Price record player.
