      I knew I was not remembering this wrong, this toy set did come with a 7" flexi record.

      First thanks to RSS for providing this link
      http://www.wishbookweb.com

      next the direct link with the toy in the 1976 JC Penny Christmas catalog. The picture mentions it had a sound effects record (and you mego cats would probably enjoy the items for sale on the top of the page)

                  I had this toy as a child.....probably got it when I was the age of the kid in the photo. Played with it for years.

                    You could buy the people and trucks etc separtly in a bag too, I had the bag set but not the tower. I can remember getting in a Roses store around, 77 or so.
