Rare 1939 4-disc set of first issue 78-RPM records of the cast-recording soundtrack album for the beloved film, housed in original illustrated covers. Inscribed in ink on the first record sleeve "To Henry / appreciatively -" and signed by Ken Darby, the American composer, vocal arranger, lyricist, and conductor, who also provided vocals for the Munchkinland mayor in The Wizard of Oz (1939), portrayed in the film by Charlie Becker. Songs include "Over the Rainbow", "Munchkinland Part I & II", "If I Only Had a Brain", "If I Only Had a Heart", "The Merry Old Land of Oz", and "We're Off to See The Wizard". This record set includes the only known release of the movie's deleted musical number, "The Jitterbug", as the album was created and distributed before filming wrapped. Sides 1 and 2 are lacking a portion from the outside edge of the record (see photos), but the rest of that record plays perfectly. The other six sides are in fine condition and don't appear to have been played more than a handful of times.  Binding is somewhat loose in some areas, but stable; brown paper sleeves all fine.
