When they did the original Snoopy vs. the Red Baron it was their biggest hit to date. So then came sequels.

I think **Measure for Measure** ’s second item is gonna be it. I have the LP sitting in front of me right now. It is Peter Pan Records N 8054 and credited as Peter Pan Pop Band & Singers. The cover has a black background with a cartoon of the Red Baron in a red airplane (it looks like a monoplane instead of the traditional triplane) with a large machine gun that he is shooting.
