Invaluable for collectors of Disney music, RARE, August 18, 2005
This review is from: The Golden Age of Walt Disney Records 1933-1988: Murray's Collectors' Price Guide and Discography : Lps/45 Rpm/78 Rpm/Eps (Paperback)
This book has been out of print since 1997, and is getting very rare. It is a reference book that includes the history of Disney records and the Disneyland Record label. Published in an a small release in 1997, it is a really nice reference for Disney audiophiles. The pictures and other info are enough to give anyone the collecting bug. There is plenty of material in this book for the Disney amateur historians. The real treat is 250 plus color photos of album covers and recordings. Very complete, lists all of the Walt Disney records, even those soundtracks and music released on other labels. Lists picture discs, Little Golden Books, soundtracks to movies and TV shows, storybooks, and material from Disneyland. Includes EP's, 33 1/3 LPs, 45's, and 78's including all records from 1933 to 1988.
A very functional table of contents and index help to locate items in the book. Very useful material on accurate grading the condition of records to help you when you buy records. A short history on the history of Disney records is in the book, an animated film filmography, and the music composers for all of Disney on film is very useful. Softbound cover, 256 pages in length.
If you are also interested in the process, the how and why of the music of Disney, you also might read the wonderful book, "The Musical World of Walt Disney" by David Tietyen, or the book by the Sherman Brothers.

A Must for Disney Record Collectors, July 16, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Golden Age of Walt Disney Records 1933-1988: Murray's Collectors' Price Guide and Discography : Lps/45 Rpm/78 Rpm/Eps (Paperback)
This is an invaluable resource for Disney record collectors. Beautiful pictures and detailed discriptions of every record the Disney company ever released. The prices listed might seem high, unless you remember that they are only for records in near perfect condition. I have already bought 2 copies.
