Does anyone know of any preservation of the Disneyland Records Storytellers collection series? I had quite a few of these treasures from the 60’s and 70’s when I was a child.

The Storytellers collection titles are:

  • ST-1905 Grasshopper and the Ants
  • ST-1906 Pollyanna
  • ST-1907 Swiss Family Robinson
  • ST-1908 101 Dalmatians
  • ST-1910 Story And Songs About Walt Disney’s 3 Little Pigs
  • ST-1912 Prince and the Pauper
  • ST-1914 Greyfriars Bobby
  • ST-1915 Hans Brinker
  • ST-1917 Little Hiawatha
  • ST-1919 Great Composers, Vol. I
  • ST-1920 Legend of Sleepy Hollow
  • ST-1921 Hector the Stowaway Pup
  • ST-1922 Addition & Subtraction
  • ST-1923 Multiplication-Division
  • ST-1924 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (featuring a cast different from the one in the film)
  • ST-1925 The Story Of Savage Sam
  • ST-3812 America Sings
  • ST-3816 The Rescuers
  • ST-3819 The Hobbit
  • ST-3903 Walt Disney’s Story of Bambi
  • ST-3905 Pinocchio
  • ST-3906 Snow White
  • ST-3908 Cinderella
  • ST-3922 Mary Poppins (another cover version)
  • ST-3926 Peter and the Wolf Plus The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (both were from film soundtracks; Peter was from the soundtrack of the film Make Mine Music and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice was from the soundtrack of Fantasia)
  • ST-3937 Pirates of the Caribbean

Probably the only way you'll be able to get this is to personally track down the individual records on Ebay and preserve them yourself.  I used to have a few of these too.   Strange thing is that the only one I distinctly remember is Peter Pan, which isn't on your list.  Is that a complete list?  Then again, this is coming from a fuzzy childhood memory.  :)

I think "Peter Pan" was part of another series on that same label. I'm still tracking down info on how these were all released.  Some titles use the films original audio soundtrack, and others re-recorded them with different voice actors. I would like to start out by obtaining the albums based on the most popular animated films. The ones that used a newly recorded narrator, but keep the original film's audio, music, and effects track.

I'm pretty sure the Peter Pan one used the original film soundtrack.  I knew both that film and record well as a child.

I have The Rescuers on vinyl, though it's quite scratchy and will take a lot of work to remove the pops and crackles. I also have The Jungle Book on cassette, which I played so many times as a kid that it stretched.

I have mp3 copies of both. No lossless, unfortunately.

 

I'd also like to see these records preserved as lossless with hi-res album scans...

I also realised that I have one that isn't on your list:

 

ST-3818 "Pete's Dragon"

 

Again, unfortunately, I only have an mp3 copy
