Description

Issued in 1973 as part of the Disneyland Doubles series, this charming 7‑inch single brings together two much‑loved songs from Disney’s animated retellings of classic tales. Released in the UK under catalogue number DD.46, the record features Phil Harris performing The Phoney King of England on one side, with Roger Miller’s gentle and reflective Not In Nottingham on the reverse. Pressed at 45rpm and presented on the familiar Disneyland label, the single captures the distinctive musical style that defined Disney’s productions of the early seventies.
The record sits firmly within the Stage & Screen genre, its soundtrack roots evident in both the orchestration and the vocal delivery. Harris brings his trademark warmth and humour to The Phoney King of England, while Miller’s contribution offers a softer, more contemplative contrast. Together, the two tracks form a pleasing pairing that reflects the tone and character of the films from which they were drawn. For collectors of vintage Disney vinyl, UK pressings from this period — especially those from the Disneyland Doubles line — remain particularly appealing, combining nostalgia with the simple charm of early soundtrack singles.
