A Musical Tour of Disneyland on 45 rpm records - 1956

reimaginethestars:

Look what my best friend Josh got me! A record of The Firehouse Five Plus Two At Disneyland! He also transferred it onto my PC for me but tumblr says the audio file is too large.

It was recorded live at Disneyland, U.S.A. July 27 & 28, 1962.

Here’s an excerpt from the record description.

“As since most everyone knows, the FH5, since 1949 has been the spare-time hobby of a group of writer,s animators, producers and directors at the Walt Disney Studios, Chief Ward Kimball has also been close to Disneyland’s development and the continuing creation of new attractions in the park. The Disneyland setting is perfect for the happy brand of jazz  for which the FH5 is justly world-renowned. On Date Nights from June through September, all kinds of people - all ages, sizes, shapes; in all kinds of dress or undress, from shorts, sweaters, and sandals to shirts, ties, and formals (you name it!) - enjoy themselves in this city with a “population” of thirty thousand or more, a living argument for the possibility of Utopia.”
