(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) From the Disney Archives:  In 1949 Disney was hard at work on another princess film which could make or break the studio, Cinderella.  Ilene Woods, who provided the singing and speaking voice of Cinderella, and Eleanor Audley, famous as the step mother and later nine years later, Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty take on the roles of Snow White and the Wicked Queen in this RCA Victor Little Nipper storybook album, narrated by Dennis Day. In those days before the existence of Disneyland Records, it was common for other labels to license the songs, score, and narration of a Disney film.  Some, like this one were brilliant, utilizing talent from the Disney canon and top notch bandleaders, Paul Smith in this case.  This is a version of Snow White like you’ve never heard it before… but no less enjoyable!
