Walt Disney's Three Little Pigs

Yesterday I picked up a neat record at a thrift shop for just 25 cents. I had never seen this one before, so even though it was in rough shape with black electrical tape all around the edges and the original owners name and address on the front cover, I gladly picked it up! After carefully removing the electrical tape from around the outside edge and then placing it into a nice sealed album sleeve, it looks pretty nice in my collection. Its amazing how something that I almost didn't pick up because it was in such bad shape, ends up looking so good in my collection once a little TLC is given to it.
This is Walt Disney's "Three Little Pigs" A Capitol Record Reader, told by Don Wilson with members of the original cast. Adapted and produced by Alan Livingston. This version was manufactured in Canada by Capitol Records Canada, LTD.

Walt Disney's Three Little Pigs

I recently picked up this cool looking 33 1/3 Long Playing Record of Walt Disney's story of the Three Little Pigs with the song: "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" complete with record and 24 page book. This edition is copyright 1965 Walt Disney Productions and printed in the USA. Side one of the record is the audio story to go along with the book and side two of the record has the Disney classic "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf". The song was probably the most famous song to come out of a short cartoon. The original song composed by Frank Churchill was a best-selling single, mirroring the people's resolve against the "big bad wolf" of The Great Depression; the song actually became something of an anthem of the Great Depression. When the Nazis began expanding the boundaries of Germany in the years preceding World War II, the song was used to represent the complacency of the Western world in allowing Hitler to make considerable acquisitions of territory without going to war, and was notably used in Disney animations for the Canadian war effort. The song was further used as the inspiration for the title of the 1963 play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
