1973 Vintage Robin Hood Record

Josh — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 23:10:03 +0000

One of my all time favorite Disney Movies is the 1973 animated film, Robin Hood (IMDB Link). I’ve always loved the different animals they portrayed as different characters. It was the definition of a kid’s movie.

I was stoked when a relative gave me an original 1973 copy of a Disneyland Record, Robin Hood: Story and Songs. The vinyl jacket has fabulous pictures from the movie that I just have to share.

Unfortunately, I don’t own a record player so I can’t comment on the content of the record. The songs listed are:

Whistle Stop (Roger Miller)
OO-DE-LALLY (Roger Miller)
Love (Floyd Huddleston & George Burns)
The Phony King of England (Johnny Mercer)
Not in Nottingham (Roger Miller)

As the back cover says (view after the break), the music was conducted by George Burns. Narration and Dialogue Directed by Pete Renoudet with the assistance of John Wood and Rose Mussi.

To see the back cover and actual vinyl, make sure you read the full post by clicking on “Continue Reading”.

Geoff took a lot of time in research and production to produce a 266MB MP3 file for his brother – a fellow Disneyland nut. The audio track contains audio from old attractions, ambient music and historical recordings. I haven’t listen to it yet, but it’s next on my playlist. If you’re interested, head over to http://www.stargaze.org/disney/ and download it today.

1964 World’s Fair Audio Tour

Josh — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 22:45:22 +0000

Jean Shepherd takes us on a humorous audio tour (MP3) of a few of the exhibits at the 1964 World’s Fair. At about 14 minutes into the MP3, Mr. Shepherd rides “It’s a Small World.” Although he is pretty critical of many of the attractions and atmosphere of the fair, he seems really enthralled with It’s a Small World.

It’s interesting to note that in 1975, Jean Shepherd narrated the voice of the audio-animatronics “Father” in the updated Carousel of Progress at the Magic Kingdom.

Disneyland Tomorrowland People Mover Audio

Josh — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 15:55:09 +0000

JustDisney.com has a page featuring Tomorrowland Sounds. I found this page by searching for the People Mover soundtrack. They also have the theme music and a small narration clip.

I just barely remember riding the People Mover. I think the last time, I was in the pre-teen years and I didn’t really understand the possible sentimental value of such a ride. I would love to get one last ride.

Josh — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 14:56:33 +0000

RealDisney.com has posted an MP3 he created off a 1974 Mickey’s Christmas Carol LP. You can hear the subtle pops that only a record will produce but the audio quality is awesome. Hurry though, he promises to only keep it up for a limited time.
