1944 Lyn Murray 'Snow White' Decca Record A-368
In 1944, Decca Records released the Snow White songs as reinterpreted by composer and conductor Lyn Murray and his Orchestra, plus several guest singers. The four-record 78rpm set came housed in an album with Disney artwork on both the front and back covers. Decca catalog no. A-368 but only three of those records are included; missing record 23327A/B which was "Whistle While You Work" and "Bluddle-Uddle-Um-Dum"
The inside front cover features illustrations of the dwarfs and the princess. The cartoonish style in which Snow White is depicted here is not uncommon during the 1940s.
Four individual record sleeves.  Appx. 12" x 10.5"
The inside back cover displays photos of director Lyn Murray and the performers during the recording sessions.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered 80 years ago, on Dec. 21, 1937, at the Carthay Circle Theatre in L.A.  It was followed by a nationwide release on February 4, 1938.  Adjusted for inflation, the animated movie is one of the Top 10 performers at the North American box office.
The movie was first re-released in 1944, to raise revenue for the budding studio during World War II. It was re-released seven more times (1952, 1958, 1967, 1975, 1983, 1987 and 1993). On Oct. 28, 1994, the film was released for the first time on home video, on Laser Disc and VHS.
