One of several outlets for songs from Disney films in the 1970s, others being Buena Vista, Disneyland and Disneyland Doubles (q.v. all). Disneyland Super Six was run by budget record company Pickwick. A licensing agreement with Pye - Disney's licensing company at the time - led to the release of four LPs of Disney material by Pickwick in October 1976. The venture proved successful, and when the licensing agreement with Pye ran out in 1977 Disney signed a new licensing deal with Pickwick ('Music Week', 13th October 1977). In 1979 Pickwick launched a seried of twenty-four six-track EPs of familiar Disney songs taken from various films; rather than all being on the same EP, the songs from a given film were scattered throughout the series. According to 'MW' of the 12th of May 1979 the EPs were to be sold at the budget price of 59p each and were to appear later that month, but in the event there seems to have been a slight delay: 'Music Master' says that the series came out in July. Each EP came in its own particular picture sleeve; the label doesn't mention 'Super 6' but that's the name given to the series above the listing on the back of the sleeves, so I've followed that naming here. Manufacturers included Multiple Sound and RCA, while distribution was handled by Pickwick themselves.
