Re: Mouse Tracks The Story Off Walt Disney Records Thanks for the nice comments on the book. It's wonderful that it keeps being rediscovered. Tim has a new book on the way about Country Comedy. I'm looking forward to it, especially since I've recently rediscovered Green Acres. I never...

There's an extended version from the Disney Afternoon CD here: http://www.amazon.com/Toon-Tunes-Action-Pa...5705&sr=8-2 or you can get The Disney Afternoon album in iTunes.

Re: What are your favorite vintage Disneyland LP's? Isn't it a small world? On my honeymoon we stayed at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont. I grabbed some luggage and skipped over the hills. I mean, how could you NOT, with real Von Trapps in every direction? But I gotta say, I DO like...

The best answer I can think of -- and Randy knows this better than I do -- is "all of the above." It has to do with market group, internal organization, contractual stuff, and so on. I do know that Walt Disney Records and Buena Vista Records are one area of the Disney Music Group, and Hollywood...

Re: What are your favorite vintage Disneyland LP's? merlinjones, I totally agree about the Camarata/Darlene Alice LP. I received it as a gift for a good report card around 1966 and I have worn through several copies. I finally saw the movie itself in 1974 and much as I loved it, the record was...

Thanks for the kind words from me, too! It really means a lot. I was listening to "Stu's Show" on shokusradio.com a few weeks ago and a caller actually asked Lee Mendelson, the producer of the Peanuts specials, if "It's Flashbeagle" would ever make it to DVD. He was noncommittal, but said it...

I (heart) Stacia. She's a wonderful person.

Even if Donald in Mathemagic Land is not included, please note that it's one of the "exclusives" you can only get when you join the Disney Movie Club. I had to join because it was the only way to get the first season of Zorro.

Re: From Randy: New iTunes Titles are here! Just want to make everyone knows that there is a separate album on iTunes called SONGS FROM LADY AND THE TRAMP, which was DQ-1231 when it was on vinyl. Except for "Home Sweet Home," the other seven songs are studio versions produced by Camarata: Lady...

Is it also available as regular CD? I couldn't find it on the church website and amazon also only sells it as downloads. The download is nice but it doesn't come with album notes. I agree that Walt Disney World has countless great musical and comedy talents that deserve further attention. One...

Well, I've been research it since you asked, and here's what I've been able to find out so far. To the best of my knowledge, Paul Winchell did an original musical version of Pinocchio on Decca Records in the fifties. It shows up on eBay occasionally but it's usually pricey. Robie does not play...

Re: Tinpannarama - The Sherman Brothers We talk about TINPANORAMA quite a bit in MOUSE TRACKS. If you have the "Disney Rarities" Walt Disney Treasures DVD, take a look at the Oscar-nominated film "A Symposium on Popular Songs" and you'll see several of these songs animated in stop motion...

Re: Magic Kingdom's Snow White's Scary Adventures I recall that the original WDW Mad Tea Party music included "The Caucus Race" and "March of the Cards" from the Camarata/Darlene Gillespie LP version of Alice in Wonderland that is currently on iTunes.

Re: Magic Kingdom's Snow White's Scary Adventures I can't recall off the top of my head what is playing there now (probably the film soundtrack) but the "I'm Wishing" version you're talking about was also in the beloved "Mickey Mouse Revue" that was sent to Tokyo Disneyland from WDW. I think...

This is an item I've just added to my blog that I wanted to make sure all of you also got to see: Back when acclaimed writer/producer Les Perkins told Tim and I he was preparing a wonderful new Disney DVD bonus feature that acknowledged Robie Lester as the singing voice of Duchess, we had our...

From Randy: New iTunes Titles are here! I'm posting this for Randy because of technical issues he will describe in the following message he asked to pass along to everyone: A MESSAGE FROM RANDY THORNTON Sorry for my absence, but for some reason I've been locked out of the boards since last...

"The Gift of Love" actually first appeared, with slightly different lyrics, on the Buena Vista vinyl LP, RAINBOW BRITE CHRISTMAS in the mid-80's.

I just found out -- it's Bill Lee singing Shere Khan's line in "That's What Friends Are For."

The oddest offscreen singing to me was when they used Betty Noyes (who also sang "Baby Mine") to dub Debbie Reynolds when, in SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, she was supposed to be dubbing Jean Hagen in the song, "Would You." A dub of a dub. The only other Disney ghost singing I can think of offhand in...

He dubbed Buddy Ebsen? I too thought it didn't sound like him. As Johnny Carson used to say, "I did not know that!" Newton also sang for Boo-Boo Bear in "Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!" (alongside the great Bill Lee singing for Yogi). He also received rare album credit for the weird and fascinating...
