I’ve been listing to the soundtrack of The Rescuers the last few days wondering who made it, who wrote the music etc. I looked it up at IMDB and was facinated when the familair names of Glen Keane and Ron Clements turned up. I then recalled hearing Ron and John talking about working at Disney in those early days of their career. For Glen I thought he came at Disney during production of The Fox and the Hound I knew he talked about animating the bear in some making ofs. This gave me enough reason to write down my memories on this 29 old classic.

The Rescuers was the second Disney movies I’ve memories from, I clearly remember collecting the Panni stickers of the Fox and the Hound. For the Rescuers I recall the soundtrack specificly the song “Tomorrow is Another Day” I get to that later. You see, before Aladdin I never was a big Disney lover, I didn’t go to theater to see the latest Disney film and such. Not much Disney survived my early teen years Disney was kids not for semi-though guys like me.

Anyway back to the Rescuers. The film reached theaters in 1977 a full year before I was born . I assume my parents bought me the soundtrack on LP some years later because I was just an infant then toddler for the first years so naturlly I couldn’t possibly understand the music let alone the lyrics.

Years later when I was 8 my uncle gave he his old Phillips HIFI set plus record player. I often listed to the LP and some other childeren music until the sound was to distorted with all the plops and hiss. Since then, must be late 1989, maybe early 1990 I haven’t listened to it. At some point, after 1993 my parents threw out our LP collection but I kept the Disney records for sentimental reasons. I know this because I only kept the Disney LPs and not the other kids music. Today I still own Snow White (1973), Jungle Book (1977), 101 Dalmations (1977),The Rescuers (1977) and the Fox and the Hound (1981).

Wondering if Disney LP’s are still available on Ebay Netherlands I came across the very same LP in excellent condition on Ebay. So The Rescuers LP isn’t that unique after all.
hat store also carries a copy of Snow White and The Fox and the Hound, my first Disney film in theater.

As you know LP records are practically death today only a handful are produced, mostly in the hiphop and classic genre where audiophiles prefer the warmer sound of vinyl over the hard and cold digital music of modern day. As CD’s took over Walt Disney Records switched from producing LPs to CDs . You can imagine my amazed to find an LP of Aladdin’s soundtrack complete with cover art and track listing.
