Uncle Remus Appraisal

Walt Disney's Stories of Uncle Remus Vinyl Record and Picture Book (ST 3907)

This is a vintage 12-inch vinyl LP record with an integrated storybook titled 'Walt Disney's Stories of Uncle Remus.' Produced by Disneyland Records (High Fidelity ST 3907), it dates back to approximately the mid-1960s. The cover art features a central photographic image of actor James Baskett as Uncle Remus, surrounded by the animated characters Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, and Br'er Bear from the 1946 film 'Song of the South.' The cover utilizes a distinctive olive-green concentric circle background pattern. The item is a 'Record and a Picture Book' set, indicating a multi-page illustrated booklet is bound inside the gatefold sleeve. Visible condition issues include significant ring wear on the front cover, edge wear along all four sides, and shelf wear resulting in loss of the paper finish at the corners. There is noticeable yellowing and minor staining on the bottom white border. Despite the wear, the colors remain vibrant, and the Disneyland Records logo and catalog number (ST 3907) are clearly legible. This is a significant piece of Disney memorabilia due to the controversial and 'vaulted' status of the source film, making physical media related to it increasingly collectible but rare in contemporary retail markets.
