 |

Jeff Pepper @ 2719 HYPERION Blog is reporting the following. Lets hope there is more to come.

New Music from the Walt Disney Records Archives
Walt Disney Records has been quietly re-releasing long unavailable material from its vast archives on iTunes over the past year or so, and happily, a number of new selections have hit the iTunes store today. The titles are:
Westward Ho the Wagons
Italiannette
Annette Sings Anka
Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House
And quite significantly, the original soundtrack from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
According to Walt Disney Records producer Randy Thornton--
"This is HOPEFULLY the beginning of a new line (only time will tell). Also, when you purchase this title, you can download a Digital Booklet with behind-the-scenes photos, and illustrations. I’ve written a brief “Producer’s Note” outlining the background of the project, and there is (the highlight for me) liner notes from my new friend, composer John Debney . . . It’s taken me over 10 years to get this released, and it was definitely worth the wait! Thanks very much for all your patience, enthusiasm and support for this great, classic stuff."
Thornton continues to be one of the true unsung heroes of Disney-related historical preservation. He has been tireless in his efforts to find and restore these vintage recordings and insure their availability to what is undeniably a very small audience of enthusiasts. Thornton is well known to Disney music fans as the person who produces the Official Disneyland and Walt Disney World music collections; he was notably responsible for the amazing and near-definitive Musical History of Disneyland collection, released during the park's recent 50th Anniversary celebration.
In addition, five albums that were previously available at the Disneyland/Walt Disney World Wonderland music-on-demand kiosks have been added to the archive releases available on iTunes. Those titles are:
Meet Me Down On Main Street
A Musical Tour of France with Maurice Chevalier
Songs from Lady and the Tramp
The Disney Afternoon
Country Bear Jamboree
One special note about today's releases--a number of readers have contacted me recently concerning the song "The Ballad of John Colter." Fess Parker performed the song in Westward Ho the Wagons and it is available on the collection released today. It is also included on the archive release Fess Parker - Cowboy and Indian Songs, also available on iTunes.
Special thanks to Greg Ehrbar for communicating this information via both the Magical Music of the Mouse and his own Mouse Tracks web site.

|
|
I have heard about Disney's offerings on iTunes, but everytime I try to find them I come up empty. Also, the new CD's mentioned, are they only available at the theme parks? I have looked on Amazon, and they usually have used stuff. Can someone help me locate these things.
Regards,
Ted |

I believe that the CD's are technically theme park specific but you can find them on ebay and the web. Try searching for "Official Album of" as for the itunes what you have to do is searh Walt Disney Records and you will find some of the recordings then look at what others also bought and that will normally lead you to the other recordings. That is how I found things like the country bears jamboree and the sound track to Three Caballeros. I hope this helps.

This outstanding! Just like any other kind of music out there… fans of this music should be able to shop on a “song by song” basis! For parents, this is a huge plus.. you don’t have to buy the whole soundtrack for the kids. Why would anyone think this is wasted space??? This is all good, and it ain’t hurting anyone.
