Record Comments:  As the title suggests, Brand New And Slightly Used Sherman Brothers Songs, was a promotional-only record issued independently by The Sherman Brothers to promote some of their new and less familiar material.

Not all songs are from Disney productions.  As noted on the cover, all material was licensed for broadcast and includes five unreleased tracks.  As of today, many of these songs are very difficult to locate in any format.  

Some of the tracks are alternative versions.  The standouts include the Epcot theme park song Magic Journeys, that is about 30 seconds longer than any of its other releases and On The Front Porch from Summer Magic, which is about 45 seconds shorter than the soundtrack release.

The record jacket has a glossy vinyl texture on the front that is most commonly found on encyclopedias and school year books.  The back of the sleeve is solid blue with a matte finish and includes no text or artwork.

Matrix Number:  SE83-1-A SB / SEM83-1-B SB

Subject Notes:  The famous song writing team of brothers Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman are best known for their Academy Award-winning songs from Mary Poppins, along with countless other Disney songs and theme park favorites such as It's A Small World and The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room.

Their amazing career and personal life can been experienced in the feature-length documentary The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story that was conceived, produced and directed by the two songwriters' sons.
