Walt Disney's Bambi Original Motion Picture Sound Track Vinyl Record

This item is a vintage vinyl record, specifically the "Walt Disney's Bambi: All the Songs from the Original Motion Picture Sound Track" album. The album cover features vibrant artwork, with a background transitioning through a rainbow of colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) from left to right. Silhouetted evergreen trees in various shades of green and black are depicted across the bottom half of the cover, creating a forest scene. In the lower left quadrant, a classic illustration of young Bambi, depicted as a fawn, is visible among some green grass. The title "Walt Disney's Bambi" is prominently displayed in white script, with "Walt Disney's" in a smaller, more traditional font above "Bambi" in a larger, flowing script. Below the main title, the text "All the Songs from the Original Motion Picture Sound Track" is printed in a smaller, white sans-serif font. To the right of the Bambi title, a list of songs is visible: "LOVE IS A SONG," "LITTLE APRIL SHOWER," "LET'S SING A GAY LITTLE SPRING SONG," and "I BRING YOU A SONG." In the upper right corner, the 'Disneyland Record' logo is present, with "Disneyland" in green text and the catalog number "1203" below it, indicating its release on the Disneyland Records label. The record appears to be housed within a blue plastic bin or container, suggesting it has been stored, possibly for protection. The cover shows signs of light use, consistent with its age, but no apparent major damage like tears or significant creases are visible in the provided image. The colors on the cover remain relatively vibrant, suggesting it has been reasonably well-preserved. Based on the provided context, the record is from 1963 and is a full soundtrack, indicating a potential age of approximately 60 years at the time of this assessment. The visual presentation and the Disney branding suggest a family-oriented musical product typical of mid-20th-century popular media.
