Скачать или смотреть Bob Dale & Lockyer Orch.- Music from Walt Disney's "Alice In Wonderland"- 'Twas Brillig (Royale 193)

Royale Records Alice in Wonderland Covers (1951-1952) -
These appear to be relatively rare contemporary covers of Disney's 1951 "Alice in Wonderland" from Eli Oberstein's budget label, Royale Records. These may be the most comprehensive cover treatment of early Disney music from the era, featuring seven songs across four 78rpm sides when the film was a box office failure and Disney covers were virtually non-existent.

Featured Recordings:
Royale 192:
A1- I'm Late"
B1- Alice in Wonderland" - Title number
B2- In a World of My Own

Royale 193:
A1- 'Twas Brillig
A2- The Unbirthday Song
B1- Very Good Advice
B2- All in a Golden Afternoon

Performed by "Bob Dale" and "Nadia Dore" with Lockyer Orchestra - likely pseudonyms for Oberstein's regular session musicians who also recorded Snow White and Broadway covers for his various labels.

Historical Significance:
These recordings document a remarkable business gamble, covering songs from Disney's commercial disappointment, when industry wisdom advised against unproven material. Oberstein's team somehow predicted future hits, capturing "All in a Golden Afternoon" (the film's eventual signature song) and other tracks that would become classics decades later.

Why These Matter:
-First contemporary covers of Alice in Wonderland music
-Absent from all major discographies, including Discogs
-Reveal early 1950s uncertainty about Disney's commercial viability
-Show budget label operations before Disney's aggressive copyright enforcement
-Document the era when Disney music wasn't considered "big business."

About the Find:
-Discovered in an online auction where no other collectors recognized their significance - a perfect example of how the most essential artifacts often hide at the intersection of multiple collecting niches.

Context:
While Glenn Miller covered "When You Wish Upon a Star" after the eventual success of Pinocchio, contemporary Disney covers were extremely rare. Most labels waited years to see if films would find audiences. These Royale Records recordings represent the exception - a bet on Disney's music before culture recognized its lasting value.
