Disneyland opened in 1955 - the same year I was born, so we are talking horse and buggy times, and I see this as a promotional item for the park on Disneyland Records (WDL 4004). This is a tour guided by Walt Disney of what at the time were the park's five themed areas. The record is G+ with a ton of scratches - I cleaned it on my VPI and played it on my Sony PS X50 - it plays completely through, both sides with out any skips, sticks or distortion but there is a fair amount of moderate crackle with some fairly loud tics in a few places (short lived) and the cover is VG- with almost totally split seams, some staining back bottom and some yellowing from its almost 70 years of life. All grading is guaranteed to visual Goldmine standards (see my feedback) unless otherwise specifically described. Price includes delivery confirmation and/or insurance(78s) domestic. Priority mail and professional packaging is $12.00, additional 45s, up to four, are free domestically. I ship three times a week.  Important - media mail may take up to two weeks for delivery!!! Insurance is included on purchases of $50.00 or more. Sorry about the increase in international mail but the post office now charges me an average of $25.00 for one single LP - that does not consider the cost of the mailer, bubble wrap, and labels. Insurance and/or tracking for international sales is available at a much greater shipping cost (required for Portugal). The only way I can absolutely guarantee delivery internationally is with a tracking number or insurance. Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. International shipping via first class can take a month or more from the shipping date - we have no control over shipping time. Please do not ask us to lie about record values on customs forms. I am listing some rare classic and punk rock, rare 45s, and some other rarities the next couple of days. Remember if you are looking for the weird, the wacky, and the wonderful, check the Cassidy Collectibles auctions or come see us at a record show near your location. Buying my records feeds your vinyl addiction and my passel of aging mutts.
