The 1962 Seattle World's Fair (also known as The Century 21 Exposition) gave the city of Seattle, Washington its
Space Needle and its downtown monorail system.
In proper world's fair fashion, it was an event crafted to show America's cold war confidence and optimism towards future technology and the space race with the Soviet Union.
The fair presented the world of tomorrow as the shimmering, 'Jetsons'-like utopia it was surely destined to become.
This souvenir record was distributed at the fair.
'The Lancers' (Jerry Meacham, Dick Burr, Bob Porter and Corky Lindgren) had a small, Top-40 radio hit in 1953 with 'Sweet Mama, Tree Top Tall', and though other groups have used the name at different times, these 'Lancers' are probably the same vocal group that had worked around the same time as occasional back-up singers for recording artist Kay Starr.
