I just found this 1979 LP with sound effects from [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/872704-Matsuo-Ono]Matsuo Ono[/url], who created the electronic sound effects for the 1963 series. It's a reissue of [url=https://www.discogs.com/%E5%A4%A7%E9%87%8E%E6%9D%BE%E9%9B%84-Roots-Of-Electronic-Sound/release/1195216]this album[/url]. A reproduction was released in 2005.

The title is "音の世界" (Oto no Sekai), which translates to "The World of Sound".

Also, the cover art is gorgeous.

The first image is broken.

Also, I think someone might've posted something about this before; is this the one with Atom's feetie-steps?

Yep. I posted the original version of it back on page 10 of this thread:

I figured I'd share the 1979 LP for the nice-looking box art.

Teeny little Blue Knight on his teeny little blue horse... you know, I didn't think that that horse was blue. It makes knight blend a little too much... not a very good color choice, if I do say so myself. Other than that, though, I suppose that it is a fairly lovely cover. :3

:heart: Cute! note the 2 eyelashes on the larger one; I do not recall if there was any particular number of them on the animated JM, though.

Just one! No more than that. Also, I've seen better looking toys than those around... these things kind of frighten me a little bit!
