Description from the seller
There is something deeply magical about holding in your hands the entire soundtrack that has lulled generations' dreams. We're not talking about mere scores, but a journey straight back to 1950, when Cinderella's glass slipper made her triumphant debut in Italian theaters. Finding a single score from this series is a small victory for a collector; finding all five together is a rare stroke of luck, a complete set ready to be framed and become the beating heart of a Disney collection or of sought-after vintage furnishings.
Look at the artwork on these covers: that vibrant red and the bold stroke that characterized Edizioni Curci of Milan. They are pieces that exude history. In every corner you can read the R.K.O. Radio Pictures logo, which immediately takes us back to the Golden Age of cinema, even before Walt Disney started distributing on his own.
The set includes the pillars of the soundtrack: from the famously sung Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo to the ethereal A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes. The paper has that magnificent patina of time, that slight yellowing that only decades can honestly bestow. Yes, there are small signs of life along the edges and some foxing traces, but this is precisely what we look for: objects that have a story to tell, that have passed through the hands of musicians and dreamers. The series is complete, the Devilli texts are a masterpiece of adaptation for the era. It is an honest, authentic, and, above all, complete lot. A piece of animation history that awaits nothing more than to find a new home where it can be admired.
