GUEST STAR RECORDS |
THIS IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY!
In 1949, Synthetic Plastics Company was formed. Among various other products made at The manufacturing facility on
Komorn Street (plant) in Newark, N. J., were phonograph records, including several aimed at children.
These first offerings bore the label of Peter Pan Records and were 78 RPM records containing perennial children´s
song favorites such as Old MacDonald´s Farm, Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and The Three Bears, and The
Nine Billy Goats Gruff. These recordings often featured a vocal group called The Caroleers. Other singers appeared
also and were sometimes accompanied by The Peter Pan Orchestra.
The brightly-colored plastic records featuring children´s songs continued to be produced and
sold into the 1950´s and early 1960´s. In the 1960´s, fewer new titles were produced as
the company turned to concentrate on their plastic products such as their other record labels such as Ambassador,
Diplomat, Guest Star, Power, and Promenade Records.
As the 70´s began, The Peter Pan Industries division was formed from parent company Synthetic Plastics, and
the new wing started producing children´s recordings that were spoken-word stories. These included Peter and
The Wolf (1971) and a record with two stories derived from The Flintstones television series (1972). The latter
was a tie-in to popular characters of the time would only be the first in a long, successful series of story
records based on television shows, comics and movies. The number of media tie-in titles would ultimately number
in the dozens, including such subjects as Superman, Batman, and Spiderman of The Comics, Star Trek, Six Million
Dollar Man, and Kojak from television, and four of The Planet of The Apes movies. Several of The Star Trek records
were produced by Arthur Korb.
The Power Records label was retired in 1977 and all subsequent records were produced under The Peter Pan Records
name, including several 1979 Star Trek story records bearing photos from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"
Ambassador Records, Diplomat Records, Guest Star Records, Power Records, Promenade Records, and Peter Pan Records,
all works of Synthetic Plastics, out of the 88 St. Francis St., Newark, NJ address.
IBID: While Guest Star´s "YOUR BEST BUY IN RECORDED ENTERTAINMENT - FINE RECORDS NEED NOT BE EXPENSIVE"
is correct - The platers were/are not - The jackets were/are repro prints and several, okay a lot, of the recordings
were split. With an artist on one side, then another artist on the other, should you not read the jacket in detail,
you would not know it.
