You're correct, dalvarad, about Annette appearing in the album version of "We're the Mouseketeers." She appeared in several other songs on MMC albums, including a version of "Hi to You."
However, these cuts were released after the TV show had premiered in 1955. Then what's the deal with the Wonderland CD of "Musical Highlights from the Mickey Mouse Club?" Well, it's actually a 1962 reissue of favorite songs, "greatest hits" so to speak, from at least three earlier MMC LP's, catalog number DQ-1227, released when the syndicated version of the MMC was on TV. Though it has the same cover design as 1955's "Musical Highlights," (MM-12), the song selections are slightly different, and Annette does not appear.
DQ-1227 also includes songs from MM-14, "27 New Songs from the Mickey Mouse Club," and the last Official Mickey Mouse Club LP from the 50's to feature MMC songs, MM-18, "We're the Mouseketeers," the title cut, including Annette, is the same one on DQ-1227.
Also, in answer to Mike's earlier question, the MelloMen could very have have all been in the chorus on the MMC records, since the theme really sounds like it must be them.
