Description

This illustrated book-and-record set "Lady and the Tramp" published by Walt Disney Productions is a vintage edition combining a 45 RPM record (3.5 rpm, long-play) and a 24-page color booklet. The hardcover features an iconic visual of the two main characters, Lady and Tramp, on an olive green background, with a layout typical of the 1960s-1970s. The title is framed in turquoise blue, topped with the "Walt Disney presents" logo, and accompanied by yellow and white text: "LOOK at the pictures, LISTEN to the record, READ the book".

The visible side shows illustrations faithful to the original style of the animated film, with colorful and expressive rendering. The corners are rounded and the item shows visible signs of wear, particularly on the edges and bottom right, characteristic of old handling. In the upper left, a yellow insert indicates "3.5 rpm, long-play record, 24 color pages", while the reference "LLP 307 F" appears in the upper right of the cover. The mention "Copyright 1970 Walt Disney Productions, France" is partially legible at the bottom.

This book-and-record set combines several media: the 45 RPM vinyl record (untested), a booklet of color illustrations, and the story narrated by Claude Nicot and Anna Gaylor, accompanied by songs from the film. The whole evokes the multimedia experience characteristic of Disney's children's editions of the era, allowing one to follow the story by reading, listening, and watching simultaneously.

The graphic presentation, typographies, and illustration style are typical of French Disney editions from the turn of the 1970s, with an emphasis on accessibility and childish interactivity. The cover shows a general patina, folds, and scuffs, but retains its colors and illustrations, which are clearly legible.

Condition

Used item sold as is, with visible traces of wear on the cover (folds, scuffed corners, slight scratches). Record untested. The whole remains solid and the illustrated side is well preserved for its age.

Did you know? The concept of the book-and-record set was popularized in France from the 1950s, but it was in the 60s-70s that Walt Disney Productions democratized this format among young audiences, combining audio narration, illustrations, and reading to promote learning and the pleasure of independent reading.
