Record
Comments: This one-sided,
acetate record was recorded live at Disneyland in 1955 and was
available to record and purchase as a theme-park souvenir.
The contents of the record pictured include a single
track of dialog and music, featuring park patrons Len,
David and Lloyd who answer a few questions from Mickey Mouse and
then proceed to sing along with Mickey (even though the record
label indicates it's Donald Duck) to The Ballad
Of Davy Crockett . Several
variations of this record exists, since the park guests' own vocals are
included on the recording. The envelope mailer measures just slightly under 7 1/2"
square. The record measures approximately 6".
