"The Best of the Trapp Family Singers" - SIGNED LP

Original 1973 compilation album of the family singing group on whose story The Sound of Music was based, signed on the inside album cover by the family's matriarch, Maria von Trapp ("Maria Trapp.") In fine condition.

After leaving Nazi-annexed Austria, the von Trapps began to perform in the United States and Canada in 1938. The family moved to Stowe, VT, in the 1940's, and operated a music camp while they were not touring. In the 1950's, they made a series of 78 rpm discs for RCA Victor, some of which were later issued on RCA Camden LPs. There were also a few later recordings released on LPs, including some stereo sessions. In 1957, the Trapp Family Singers disbanded and went their separate ways. Maria and three of her children became missionaries in Papua New Guinea. In 1965, Maria had moved back to Vermont to manage the Trapp Family Lodge. She died in 1987. (14537)
