1977 US 'Snow White' Read-Along Record 310 (Robie Lester)

The 1966 Snow White "read-along" record and 24-page book with Robie Lester (seen in earlier post) was reissued in 1977 (catalog no. 310). Vinyl 7" disc, 331⁄3rpm. The recording was the same except for the addition of a new introduction, plus background music underneath the narration--something that did not occur in the previous version.Total run time: 12:30 minutes including the two songs at the end, Heigh-Ho and Whistle While You Work.








The record would continue to be reissued for the next decade. You can listen to this 1977 version at mousevinyl.com: http://www.mousevinyl.com/content/walt-disneys-story-snow-white-and-seven-dwarfs-disneyland-records

  1. High marks for such a great discography. One minor correction about this particular record. The original Little Long Playing (LLP) record was released in 1966 narrated by Robie Lester. This 1977 version was revamped (along with many other Disney classics) for a new market. While the interior artwork is the same as the 1966 version, the new version text was rewritten and re-recorded with sound-alike actors. The wrap-around cover, was newly created (by Al White's studio, I think), and the LLP310 was released. Over 1,000,000 copies were sold, making this a Gold Record. (This and the other reworked LLP classics were produced by me, Jymn Magon.)
