Very nice copy of the rare original 1944 release of the soundtrack of Disney's The Three Caballeros, on Decca 3-78rpm record album A-373. Music played by Charles Wolcott and his Orchestra, with Ray Gilbert, Nestor Amoral, and the Banda da Luna. Surprisingly great Latin music...  this copy is in unusually good shape. All three discs play beautifully, though the second disc has some surface scuffs that are visible but don't make any sound on playback. Purely superficial. Also on side three of that same disc there is a slight crack in the center that is under the surface, which extends from the center hole to the last grooves of the song, but it doesn't make any sound at all. The second disc does have some marks but it plays beautifully with only light background noise. The first and third discs are closer to NM and just beautiful. The whole thing plays just fantastically. The cover has some light wear, essentially just a little overall shelfwear but the binding is strong and the spine is intact, which is usually not the case. This is really a beautiful copy, very hard to beat. And rare!

PLUS I'll throw in a fourth Charles Wolcott 78, Tico Tico, from the movie Saludos Amigos, from about the same time and with very much the same feel. See the last photo. Just a little bonus.
