I am pretty sure I own no Disney audio at present, so I'm ready for anything. I may have one or two Winnie the Pooh 45 rpm yellow-vinyl, but they were on RCA ("Little Nipper"). https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.discogs.com%2FJame...
Great contest!
Thanks!
Geez I haven't played a vinyl album in longer than I care to remember.
Fingers crossed!

Giveaway? I love free stuff. Now I'm all tingly inside.
Would love to add those speakers to my desktop system. I also use that system to mix and master music, and they would certainly bring things to a much better level.
I'm in.
I wonder how well this prize will be appreciated going forward? Certainly we all appreciate getting a chance to win something, even when it is not the first. I won a trip to Stereophile in Santa Fe back in the 80's. Got to spend time with JGH, JA1, the Dahlia guy and the then owner, whose names elude me, sorry. Had a wonderful time, wish we could relive some of those days!
Paul
