Normally I wouldn’t buy an LP record that is this damaged. Both the cover sleeve and the actual vinyl are about as a bad as they could be without being unrecognizable. But I’m a sucker for vintage Disney!

Walt Disney’s Three Adventures of Davy Crockett LP is too cool to pass up, in any condition:

Fess Parker was the perfect Davy Crockett (and later, Daniel Boone) and certainly one of Disney’s most iconic stars! This LP features both narrated stories and music from the hit, but short, television series that sparked a worldwide need for furry hats with tails.

Usually I would include an audio clip from such an LP. However, this example sounds like the entire thing was recorded from within a crackling campfire! If we could hear well, we’d learn of Davy the Indian Fighter, of his time in Congress, and at the Alamo. Actually, this LP looks worse than Davy would have looked after that battle!

The cover and the back of the sleeve both have wonderful photographic images from the series, depicting the most famous moments. Sometimes these LPs are worth the money just for the artwork!

If you would like to see more vinyl versions of Davy Crockett, check out my 45 Golden Record and my Happy Times Western Record, both with audio clips.
