Record Comments:  This soundtrack recording was released in conjunction with the 1956 re-release of the original 1946 film.  It's the first in the WDL-4000 series and one of the first albums produced for the Disneyland Records label. Under supervision and editing control of Tutti Camarata, the record includes the popular songs from the film as well as the score.  The track listing as noted on the back cover may be a bit confusing as some covers list twelve songs but the vinyl only contains eight tracks, while the mixture of score and song tracks total up to thirteen.  The record contents listed below show the actual contents with approximate time values that are included within the eight tracks of the record.

The record was issued a number of times and includes some variations that are mainly seen on the record label.  Record label variations include yellow with stars (with and without Hansen Records at the top,) red and purple labels.

The yellow stars label with the Hansen Records, Inc at the top was the original release and includes "East Coast" credits for Hansen Records, Inc. on the back cover.  Hansen Records was managing Disney educational records at the time.  Only a small amount of records were produced with the yellow stars label for this release along with a few other titles.

Other back-cover variations include different credits and border design for the song credits in the lower left corner.  A Canadian issue was also released on the Spartan Records label.

The various artists included on this record are James Baskett, Hall Johnson Choir, Hattie McDaniel, Johnny Lee, Nicodemus Stewart and Studio Choir.
