    Disney Laserdiscs

    Hi. The Boxed Laser Disc of Alice In Wonderland is well worth tracking down. It contains bonuses not found on any DVD and has an isolated score/effects track, though I had an odd experience with my copy: I got some buzz/static noise on the isolated track in a few places. I don't know if it was...

    Wlat Disney's Song Parade

    Thank you! I spent many, many, childhood hours listening to this LP, (rivaled only by the Popup story albums of 101 Dalmations and Sword in the Stone). It's great to hear it again after all these...decades (ack!). Funny how memory alters things...I always remembered it as having the original...

    The Classic Soundtrack Series on iTunes

    Re: The Classic Soundtrack Series O ITunes Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and Jungle Book are also available. Perhaps the others will appear along with their next video editions (in which case, poor Dumbo got passed over, and it's one of the best!) I'd love to see the hard-to-get 101 Dalmations...

    The Downloadible Booklet for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea on iTunes

    ...and it's very nicely done. It's as if you're looking at a double LP cover, then opening it up to read two pages of beautifully laid out liner notes, then looking at the track listing on the back of the album, then looking at three bonus inserts of production art, blueprints and photos. The...

    iTunes 8

    Works fine on both my Windows desktop and laptop. In the couple of years I've been using iTunes, the very, very few and brief problems I've had are nothing compared to the gazillion tons of fun, ease, and new music it's brought me. Now...I want one of those new orange Nanos!

    Playlist Tiki Room: New Management Entrance

    After reading your posts, I downloaded The Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny from iTunes (in plus format--yay!). Thank you for the information: You've created a new Denny fan! Arthur Lyman next.

    OT: The Banana Splits got back together!

    Greg, I agree completely. I just checked youtube and the video of that song is there-- Under Supercaliopimachine. Still just as fun as ever. As silly as the show was, it really took flight in its music videos, with unexpected, magic moments like this song where everything just *worked*. Plus...

    OT: The Banana Splits got back together!

    Like the Bananas in Pajamas? No, just the same weird red biker gang helmets and hippy shades. I'm reminded of a lyric from one of their old Jefferson Airplane sound-alike songs: I live in a cucumber castle On the bank of a cranberry sea And starfish dance under my drawbridge And blackbirds...

    OT: The Banana Splits got back together!

    For anyone old enough to have gotten their first look at a Six Flags park by watching Fleegle and Drooper ride the Runaway Mine Train one Saturday morning in the late 60's... How cool to log onto iTunes and find that the fictitious Banana Splits have released their first five new songs...

    WDW or DL Forever via iTunes or Disney.com

    As I understand it, the "forever" concept was scuttled because it wasn't a financial success. For one thing, it was too complicated for the average park goer to bother with. It was also rather expensive: Your CD's playing time could run anywhere from an hour to a couple of minutes, depending on...

    How Many CDs Does the Average Collector Have?

    Re: How many CD's does the average collector have? I used to have far more CDs than I have now. I gradually sold them and now have about 100 -- mostly Disney and Jazz festival bands that iTunes hasn't picked up yet. Everything goes on the iPod now, and the CDs sit in a single storage box. I...

    Slightly OT: 60s Chimpmunks & Freberg on iTunes!

    Re: Slightly OT: 60?s Chimpmunks & Freberg on iTunes!!! Thanks for the info, Superbu! I'll check out my local Walmart: The foil covers are enough incentive for me to buy a couple of the physical discs! I love the covers of these albums...probably because I spent so much time staring at them as...

    Travel Channel Disney Park Specials on iTunes

    Man, I hate to sound like I'm getting paid to push iTunes, but you can now purchase the Travel Channel's recent "Season of Disney" specials there. Thought some of you might be interested: Several of these were very entertaining. I'm definitely picking up the Samantha Brown shows and the 'Behind...

    More Ravenscroft/Mellomen on iTunes

    Hi, all! Just a heads up -- iTunes recently made available three collections of songs by "The Mellomen with Thurl Ravenscroft," for a grand total over 80 added songs! This is, of course, in addition to the great "Meet me Down on Main St." LP. I'm not sure how long the collections have been up...

    The WHY Series - Episode I

    Thanks, Randy, that was a very cool glimpse behind the scenes! I'd never thought about that particular problem: Making stand-alone song tracks from material that was never intended to be listened to in that manner. So, have you had enough of listening to that kid sing "Big Blue World?" :D Can't...

    Worst Disney Album Cover Ever

    Hi, Randy! I should have mentioned in my initial post that I didn't think this was a Walt Disney Records release. In the thread title, I didn't mean for the word "Disney" to refer to the company specifically, but to all products associated with the world of Disney characters. Sorry about that...

    Worst Disney Album Cover Ever

    Sorry, I can't let this one slide: You have to see this to believe it: Checking out the new releases on iTunes, I saw a bunch of Broadway titles under the artist "New Musical Cast." These include Chess, Cats, Lion King and Tommy. You owe it to yourself to check out the album cover for this...

    What are Your Favorite Vintage Disneyland LPs?

    Re: What are your favorite vintage Disneyland LP's? My favorites were the pop-up storyteller LPs of 101 Dalmations and the Sword in the Stone. I also loved the Camarata Alice LP and Walt Disney's Song Parade. Also, the Peter Pan soundtrack with the window cover and the pirate ship in the...
