No, I think Bill was referring to the fact that Randy Thornton hasn't been in touch with this board much lately, so the fact that you weren't aware of this means you've been "gone" from the board for awhile. Just to correct one minor thing. Bill Days is actually the voice of the "Executioner"...

The information about the Cinderella LP being in the 10" format came from Michael Murray's book. I don't own it so I can't verify if it's true. And let's not forget Dumbo(ST-3904), narrated by the voice of Timothy Mouse himself, Ed Brophy. Some of these Round Cover LP's are harder to find than...

Although I do like this version, I tend to prefer the original LP because I really like the musical score, and it's not being interrupted by Cliff Edwards' narration. This LP, "A Day at Disneyland", was originally released as a "Jiminy Cricket Storyteller", intended for children, in summer 1957...

Bill, regarding Maureen O'hara, she actually recorded the full song "For Now, For Always" for the PARENT TRAP "soundtrack" LP (BV/STER-3309) but she only sang a few bars of it in the movie, and hummed a little of it. I guess she just wasn't very good at lip synching. There are several singers...

Regarding Buddy Ebsen, we have to remember that he made FAMILY BAND quite late in his career, and oftentimes older actors believe their voices no longer have the quality they used to, and it is often they themselves who insist on having their singing dubbed. Peggy Wood, for example, who played...

I just came across this old post and wanted to add some info if anyone is still interested. Ernest (Ernie) Newton is mainly known for being a Hollywood "ghost singer", doing the offscreen singing for various onscreen actors. Some of the films he dubbed for are BRIGADOON (1954), singing for...

Greg, R. Michael Murray states in his book "The Golden Age of Walt Disney Records" that the Wonderland/ZIV LPs you mention were actually put out by Capitol Records and were not the same Wonderland Records that were put out by A.A. Records, owner of the Golden catalog. Is he mistaken about this?

merlinjones, Are you sure there was an RCA album released of "Mickey and the Beanstalk"? I know there was a 3 record 78rpm set issued by Capitol in 1947 and subsequently reissued on LP, but I wasn't aware that RCA had ever released songs from the movie.

When I was at Disneyland about a month ago I heard it playing from the left stockade building. That was the first time I even noticed music in that area, believe it or not, and I specifically remember "Battle Cry of Freedom".

The song is actually entitled "My, What a Happy Day." I'm not sure if the soundtrack version (sung by Anita Gordon) was ever officially released. There was a version of the song (sung by Marilyn Hooven) on the 1963 Disneyland LP "Mickey and the Beanstalk", narrated by Robie Lester, and then...

Ken, Okay, so basically the turntable that the acetate is being cut on has two spindles to ensure that the acetate is held perfectly still as it is being cut? When a regular record's master disc is being cut there is only one spindle involved and it seems to work just fine, so I wonder why the...

Just out of curiosity and since it was brought up, does anyone know why that second hole was put in the label of studio acetates and other studio recordings? I've seen that over the years and always wondered what the purpose was.

Speaking of iTunes, I'm pretty sure I've seen this addressed before but I don't know where. Is there any way to print out the cover art from the iTunes downloads so it can be fit in a standard CD case? I know if you click on the small photo of the art in the corner it blows up a large version of...

I guess I'm a little out of the loop where downloaded music is concerned, because that article above makes no sense at all to me. Can someone translate it into English? Could we dare hope for a release of the Song of the South soundtrack, at long last?

Cool. Rex Allen is pretty well known so maybe iTunes will release those tracks someday.

Did Rex Allen and the Mellomen ever record these songs? On what album or singles? I've never heard of them. I'm curious, where did you hear about them?

In addition to deleting the Offenbach segment and part of Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing, they also shortened the opening song, "In the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room," by at least a stanza. The stanza where one of the birds sings "Our show is delightful we hope you'll agree, we hope that if...

As an additional note to this discussion, the Wellingtons' version of The Ballad of Davy Crockett was rereleased on the B side of LLP-360, "Walt Disney's Davy Crockett", the little book and record set released in 1971, with narration by Lois Lane.

Well, I just listened to that single version of The Ballad of Davy Crockett by the Wellingtons, which I remembered I had, and it is most definitely NOT the version which is heard on the recent Archive collection, and all previous collections. It's completely different, done in an early 60's...

I'm a little confused about something. In the new Walt Disney Archive Collection Volume 1 the first track is The Ballad of Davy Crockett by the Wellingtons. However, in all other previous Disney collections with this track the singers are listed as the Mellomen. It definitely sounds more like...
