It's a Small World LP question

[Ryan Kilpatrick]

OK, so I managed to download all the various countries from the 1964 LP, but I have no idea what order they go in. Any LP or Small World afficionados who can arrange this list in the proper order would be my hero -

Belgium
England
Egypt
France
Germany
Greece
Holland
Japan
Morocco
Scandinavia
Scotland
Spain
Switzerland
Africa
Antarctica
Balkans and Russia
India
Ireland

Help?

Okay, I dug out the ol'LP with accompanying book to find out! It does not say on the record itself, so here is what I can glean from the book:

1. Scandinavia
2. England
3. Ireland
4. Scotland
5. Belguim
6. Holland
7. Spain
8. Italy
9. France
10. Switzerland
11. Germany
12. Russia and Balkans
13. Greece
14. Morocco
15. India
16. Japan
17. Africa
18. Egypt
19. Antarctica
20. South America/Central America
21. Mexico

Anyone want to double check?

That order is essentially correct. I just listened to the album itself and here is the order as introduced by Winston Hibler at each destination.

1. Scandinavia
2. England 1 (He doesn't introduce it here, but it is clearly the brass fanfare played by the kids in London at this part of the attraction)
3. Ireland
4. Scotland
5. England 2 (Vocal)
6. Belgium / Holland (Holland is not explicitly mentioned, just that little Dutch boys are clicking their wooden shoes together immediately after he introduces Belgium)
7. Spain / Portugal
8. Italy
9. France
10. Switzerland
11. Germany
12. The Balkans and Russia
13. Greece
14. The Middle East
15. India
16. Bali
17. Japan
18. Africa 1 (Jungle animals)
19. Africa 2 (Princesses, hyenas, & drummer boys)
20. Egypt
21. Antarctica
22. South America 1 (The Andes / Chile)
23. South America 2 (Gauchos & senoritas)
24. South America 3 (Rain forest)
25. South America 4 (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
26. Central America
27. Mexico
