Description
Walt Disney Presents The Living Desert And The Vanishing Prairie (True-Life Adventure Film Soundtracks LP) (1970)
Very hard-to-find British re-release.
This album has never had a CD release.
Part of the True-Life Adventure film series. Original Music From The Soundtracks Composed And Conducted By Paul J. Smith.
Condition
Vinyl: VG. Superbly clean on visual inspection. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is excellent throughout. Only two small short clicks right at start of side B. Wonderful overall. Some hiss is audible but this is inherent in the nature of the recording. A fantastic listening experience.
Outer Sleeve (Cover): VG. Super laminated front. Minor disc showthrough outline. Slight foxing on aperture edge. Some vein-like creases and some delamination in small areas, mainly top left corner. No obvious edge or corner wear. Reverse side is clean and unmarked beyond light traces of foxing and soiling along spine flipover. Light disc showthrough outline here as well. Overall, a really nice example.
Inner Sleeve: VG-EX. Original. White paper. Slight foxing on edges. Minor creasing and folding in corners.

About the films:
The Living Desert was the first feature-length film in Disney’s True-Life Adventures series of documentaries focusing on zoological studies; the previous films in the series, including the Academy Award-winning Seal Island, were short subjects.
The documentary was filmed at the Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort and Spa in Tucson, Arizona. Most of the wildlife shown in the film was donated to what would soon become the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
The film was inspired by 10 minutes of footage shot by N. Paul Kenworthy Jr., a doctoral student at the University of California at Los Angeles. Kenworthy’s footage of a battle between a tarantula and a wasp intrigued Disney, who funded a feature-length production following the lives of diverse desert species.
Disney was highly supportive of Kenworthy’s work and its impact on nonfiction filmmaking, stating, “This is where we can tell a real, sustained story for the first time in these nature pictures.”
The Vanishing Prairie was a 1954 documentary film by Walt Disney. The theme music was given a set of lyrics by Hazel "Gil" George. It was rechristened as "Pioneer's Prayer" in Westward Ho, the Wagons!, a western film about pioneers on the Oregon Trail.
