Ohmygod. I love Disney, and I love records. This is like a match made in heaven. I'm in for one. Now I just have to blow the dust off my record player, and I'll be set!

This is one of the most awesomest woots I have ever wooted.

I guess all of those Disney workers that weren't laid off can buy this to fill the void.

Woot! Disney taps yet another revenue stream. Looks like this venture really took off.

Seriously, my kids love the "huge cds" and spent much of last year listening to all kinds of records in different genres. Unfortunately we had to downsize and the "huge cds" and record player had to go. But it was fun while it lasted!

I sell records, new and old, message me with artist names and I'll check to see if I have it.

ummmm...i feel 7 again.

Where on earth have they been stored all this time? Or are these new pressings? But if they are, how is that not a reissue? Inquiring minds want to know.

I imagine a cargo container that fell of a ship 30 years ago and just recently washed up on on the gulf shores of Texas, where it was spotted by a Woot staffer on the beach, who pried open a crate, to find, in amazingly pristine condition...

Just click on the battery charger thingy and the record player is there.

Looks like collectors think they are worth twice as much - and that's probably opened.

Now all we need are those usb vinyl to mp3 recorders in our next box of chorizo and we are set.

I actually owned this Disney record in 1978. Dear God, that means I'm older than dirt.

I love how the current (i.e. 15 minutes into this sale) entry in Wikipedia uses the PAST TENSE to describe the Vinyl Record

http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_record

I wonder if that (and many other things) will be changed by the end of this woot sale???

This short article can be made longer. You can help Wikipedia by adding to it.

too true. that is so sad that they are actually selling these vinyls. at least sell something ppl want

Records are friggin awesome! The look, the sound, even the smell! I think this is really cool, them not being remastered or anything. These have got to be worth way more than what woot is asking.

Records are better sound quality than cd's or mp3's.
You're probably too young to even know what a record is.

Thanks for throwing us Disney geeks a bone, Woot. I'm so looking forward to taking these for a spin.

I've been looking for the perfect gift for my nephew...he's one...and now he can listen to the same stuff as I did growing up!

Make fun of it all you like guys, it's a damn good collection of Disney music. Much better than the lack-luster collections released on CD in recent years. And I speak from experience: my 1978 copy of this set was purchased in 1978.

I witch about these records, but I miss the old school vinyl sound + Disney. Zippidy Doo Dah is one of the tracks I miss the most.

Vinyl Does sound better than CD's (for the most part). Too much sound quality lost due to compression.

I bought a JT DVD last month or two from Deep Discount DVD when they had them on sale for 4 or 5.99
http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=5740920
It back to 9.99 now.

Wow... This is really tempting, especially with visions of profit dancing in my head... but I also have to eat this week...

Geez, this along with the turntable on sellout is making for a very appealing combo. Gonna be something fun to share with the old man and with my younger brothers who weren't as heavily influenced by disney as I was. To bad there isn't some of the "electric parade" music from the parades in disneyland.

It's there, I just bought one. Try refreshing the page or clicking on the image.

In for 3, 2 sets as gifts.

Actually, by 1978, 8-track was dying, I couldn't finally ditched the reel-to-reel and switched to cassette.

Just over 10 years ago, my wife asked me if we could convert the vinyl record of her parent's wedding into a CD.

After some online research (and a few nominal cost purchases) I plugged a Radio Shack audio pre-amp output into the Line-In connector on the sound card on my windows 98 computer - and plugged my old direct drive turntable into the pre-amp.

I bought a copy of the Goldwave audio capture and editing software package, and was able to make the conversion and burn the CD. (think of it as photo editing software for audio files)

Shortly after that I connected an audio cassette deck to the computer with similar success.

Best ... Woot ... EVER!

Hope they come before I leave for Walt Disney World on the 20th! (47-year-old Disney fan)

Song of the South, can't go wrong with a little zippity-doo-dah!

This might be my favorite Woot yet. This will be a nice replacement to the ones on my shelf not 10 feet from me now.

Does anyone have the list of SONGS in this set? That's a big old list of movies/cartoons, etc Woot says is included so it can't be entire soundtracks. I'd love to know what music specifically is on these.
Regardless, I'm getting one anyway.

I got them, and the record player on sellout woot. I am going to be doing an internship at Disney in the fall, so when I saw these I had to have them.

Since 4 LPs can't hold much time, safest bet is that they are medleys from all those soundtracks. It was done quite often back in the time.

There's a track listing here:

This is interesting...

Does the music follow the same concept?

I think the internet might actually implode because of this crazy time-warp.

I bought the USB record player from Woot a few weeks back to play a single album that I got as part of a collector's edition package(Fiction Family featuring Jon Foreman and Sean Watkins). I've been looking for more vinyl to play since then, but I wasn't expecting this.

In for one.

thanks...it IS a bunch of medleys...one has at least 16 melodies crammed into one track...hmmm I'm having second thoughts

Heh. Funny how a lot of "lost shipping containers" seem to find their way to Woot HQ.

Uhhh...just a little older that 1985...do your homework. These are real collector pieces!
