 One of the best items to released for Disneyland's 50th anniversary, this five CD set is the ultimate collection of theme park music and sounds! It all starts with a beautiful cloth-covered box which opens to hold the CDs, an incredible hard-cover book with 80 pages of color photos and information, plus an actual vinyl 33-RPM record, which is a reproduction of the very first Disneyland album (I was lucky enough to get one of the first limited edition sets, where the album is pressed on gold vinyl!). The CDs are simply fantastic - everything sounds absolutely perfect (so much better than many attraction soundtracks I've downloaded over the years), and there are many tracks that are available here for the first time anywhere! There's everything from the brand new Space Mountain music to classic attractions like the Submarine Voyage and the Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland. All of the special holiday versions are here, too (I loved listening to the Small World Holiday, especially the mermaids singing Jingle Shells). The accompanying book is really nice, too, and includes great mini-biographies of Disney musicians such as Buddy Baker and the Sherman Brothers (of course). Believe it or not, it also contains some trivia I didn't know - there is a lantern on a hook in Peter Pan's Flight that is all that remains of the original Fantasyland pirate ship! I could go on and on about this CD set. There's absolutely no question that every Disneyland fan must own it!
