Disneyland Records Children's Corner Display

Here are some photos I found online years ago of a Disneyland Records store display rack. At the time I remember contacting the person who had posted the photos and they said it was for sale, but for some reason the offer didn't seem legitimate, so I passed on it. I have seen the photos pop up a few times since then in various different places. I always wished I could have added this to my collection. Check out the photos and the following info that accompanied the photos the last time I saw them online.



"You are bidding of a vintage 1960's? Disneyland Records store display, from a nonsmoking collector. I do not have any information of this display, I have not been able to find any information online about it. it is in good condition but does have wear. The wire hangers were painted gold originally but have rusted with age, they could easily be sanded and repainted if desired. It had been disassembled and well packed for sae shipment in a large box. The display is about 5 feet high and 3 feed wide. I did not get an exact measurement before boxing the display.
It was saved from the stage area of a record store that had closed after being in business for forty years, that was 10 years ago."

Two More Sleeping Beauty Records

Sleeping Beauty is my favourite Disney movie and I love collecting any records related to the movie. Yesterday we went for a drive and ended up walking around a old timey main street in a town we had not been before. I was happy to find a record shop and even more happy to see they not only had a kids section, but everything was priced affordably. I come home with a few new Disney records for my collection including these two Sleeping Beauty records.
Official Mickey Mouse Club vinyl LP Record MM-32 1959

First is the Official Mickey Mouse Club LP (MM-32) Songs from Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty from 1959, with Darlene Gillespie as Briar Rose.
Side 1:
Hail to the Princess Aurora
I Wonder
Once Upon a Dream
Side 2:
Sing a Smiling Song
Skumps
and Sleeping Beauty
A Disneyland Long-Playing Record 1972

Next is A Disneyland long-playing record from 1972, Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty (FS-917), with four complete songs;
Once Upon a Dream
I Wonder
Hail to the Princess Aurora
Skumps
Also included is the story of Sleeping Beauty with Disneyland story reader Robie Lester.

Neither of these is in great condition, but at just a dollar each, it was a great bargain. And my copy of Songs from Walt' Disney's Sleeping Beauty is a one of a kind as the kid who owned it used a red pen to very neatly colour in the black and white back cover.
