Limited green vinyl LP pressing. Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas was a popular children's book during the late '50s and early '60s, but it achieved a new level of acclaim in 1966 when it first appeared as a television special. The soundtrack includes narration by Boris Karloff, and the immortal voice veteran Thurl Ravenscroft singing "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch."
