Here
is a fun "picture disc" version of the
Decca "The
Wizard Of Oz Cast
Album". Side one is devoted to Oz, side two is devoted
to Decca's 1940 cast album of Disney's Pinocchio. Various
incarnations of this "double cast album" were marketed
by Decca (and later MCA) to children.
This record has no cover art as it is packaged in a simple
white sleeve.
