Enjoy The Ride Records and Enjoy The Toons Records in conjunction with the National Crime Prevention Council proudly present McGruff's® Smart Kids Deluxe 2xLP.
Available on vinyl again, this time in a Deluxe 2xLP edition, McGruff's® Smart Kids was originally released on cassette tape in 1986. It has been mentioned on numerous podcasts, but the original cassettes have been hard to find in the wild. The audio was finally located and painstakingly remastered decades later to reissue this sought-after '80s treasure.
McGruff's® Smart Kids includes the viral hit "Cocaine & Crack," along with cult classic favorites "Inhalants" & "Alcohol." Music by Mike Hawes; Lyrics by Robin Nelson and Tim Sloan. The Deluxe 2xLP also includes extra songs "Take A Bite Out Of Crime," "Shoplifting," "Hitchhiking," and more!
Vinyl is limited to 1,000 copies across five colorful variants. The A/B disc has a die-cut bite mark, because we know McGruff® loves to Take A Bite Out Of Crime!® The cover art was recreated and photographed by Daniel Danger (Tiny Media Empire).
McGruff the Crime Dog® and NCPC envision a world where people feel safe and are active participants in keeping themselves and others from becoming victims of crime. Today’s world contains an increasing array of threats to public health and safety. Deaths from guns, illicit drugs, and automobile fatalities from illegal acts are driving a historic decline in U.S. life expectancy. Public support and involvement in crime prevention will reduce this trend. The transformation to a digital age can and must include new ways to harness technology to enhance the physical, financial, and mental security of the public.[info sheet from distr.]
