[THIS WAS UPLOADED FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY]

As taken from the vinyl record's cover:

Mel Blanc and Friends (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweetie Bird, and Yosemite Sam) remind listeners they're among friends when they go into the forest. (All Stations)

No, your ears aren't playing tricks. This is an actual Smokey Bear radio PSA featuring Mel Blanc (the man of 1,000 voices) and his Looney Tunes characters (specifically, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety and Yosemite Sam) reminding listeners about being careful with fire in the forest.

And now for some backstory on how I acquired a vinyl record that had this PSA:

I first heard about this PSA from a different eBay listing for the same vinyl record about 4 years ago, and in an instant, I wanted it to become found media because no one else had digitized it yet. So, I decided to make a forum post on the Lost Media Wiki forums, hoping anyone would help join the search, buuuuuut it didn't really go anywhere. Not even when I bumped my post almost a year later. It wasn't until about 3 years later when I finally acquired the (probably August) 1980 Smokey Bear radio campaign vinyl that also included this rare PSA.

Now, it's been archived, and now available for view- err listening, here on YouTube. (I still have plans to upload the PSAs onto the Internet Archive as long as I'm not too lazy/focused on other stuff)
