Vintage Peter Pan Records Read n Hear
Peter Pan Records BR 504. Not BR 549. (That’s a Hee-Haw reference for you sophisticated types.) This album “Book and Record” has Peter Pan, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and The Gingerbread Man. Peter Pan Records was a sort of Disney rip-off. Of course, Disney was just a rip-off of classic fairy tales, albeit with a lot of imagination and originality. My kids aren’t too keen on this album. But, at least the cover is cool. If you are a collector, let me know and I’ll make you a deal and sell this thing.

I’ve never seen or heard this one before. I do like the cover.
Just read your description on the album and felt I had to make one small correction. First off, Peter Pan Records was definitely not a Disney rip-off; the company was established years before Disney released its version of “Peter Pan” in 1953.
There is, however, a Disney connection. George Peed, who illustrated the cover and many others for Peter Pan Records, was a Disney animator before relocating to New Jersey after fighting WWII. His brother, Bill Peet (he changed his last name), was also a Disney animator and wrote several children’s books.
