Marvel Chorus – Merry Marvel Marching Society (1966 Theme, Mighty Thor Translucent Yellow 7" Vinyl)

Long before comic conventions became cultural juggernauts, Marvel's fan club the Merry Marvel Marching Society built community the old-fashioned way, through mail-order memberships and novelty records like this one. The original 1966 theme is pure mid-60s kitsch charm, a relic of the moment Marvel's universe was first exploding into mainstream consciousness. Pressed on translucent yellow vinyl in the shape of Mjolnir's wielder, this is a collector's artifact as much as a music release.
