“Here lies a most terrific collection of recorded sounds”.

From the liner notes, via Discogs:

The Sound Effects Department of the Walt Disney Studio has been collecting all kinds of noises since 1927. The first sound film which Walt Disney made and the first sound cartoon made by anyone was Steamboat Willy starring a little mouse named Mickey. This picture, like every other one Walt Disney has made, whether short subject or feature, animated cartoon or live action, contained many sound effects.

Drawing upon this enormous library of sound, Disneyland records has produced this LP.

  1. I remember this album from when I was a kid. It was really cool. Really interesting to look at it now in the context of design and typography. To this day, I associate Microgramma with 1964, maybe because of things like this album cover. I didn’t know what it was called at the time, but I was visually aware enough to notice it. It looked different and “modern” to me at the time.
