Disney Record Set Appraisal

Walt Disney's Story and Songs from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Read-Along Book and Record

This item is a vintage "Walt Disney's Story and Songs from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" read-along book and record set. The primary component visible is the square-shaped album cover, likely made from stiff cardboard or similar material, featuring vibrant, full-color illustrations. The central image on the cover depicts Snow White dancing with five of the Seven Dwarfs, while two other dwarfs are also visible contributing to the scene, implying a lively musical moment. The dwarfs are shown playing various instruments or engaging in celebratory actions, such as Sleepy playing a flute, Doc with an accordion-like instrument, Dopey with cymbals, Sneezy appearing to play a drum, and Grumpy looking on. Snow White is depicted in her iconic yellow and blue dress. The background suggests the interior of the dwarfs' cottage, with wooden beams and barrels. Prominent text on the cover includes "Walt Disney's Story and Songs from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" in a stylized font. In the upper left corner, a white banner with a light blue stripe reads "INSIDE FULL COLOR READ-ALONG BOOK," indicating the presence of a storybook within or attached to the record sleeve. The bottom left corner states "SONGS AND DIALOGUE FROM THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK," confirming the audio content is derived directly from the classic film. In the upper right corner, there is a "Disneyland Storyteller" logo with the number "3906" underneath, suggesting it is part of a series from the Disneyland Records label. The overall condition appears to be very lightly used, as stated in the context, with minor wear consistent with its age. There are no obvious rips, major creases, or significant discoloration visible on the cover, although subtle edge wear or corner dings might be present upon closer inspection. The colors remain bright and unfaded. As a vintage item, it likely dates from the mid-to-late 20th century, consistent with the production era of such Disney read-along sets from the Disneyland Records imprint. This particular type of media was popular for children, allowing them to follow along with the story as it was narrated and sung on the accompanying vinyl record. The quality of the illustration is high, reflecting Disney's artistic standards.
