Early partnerships of Golden Books and The Walt Disney Company
During the 1970s and the 1980s, Western Publishing (the then-parent company of the Golden Books brand) partnered with Walt Disney Records (then known as Disneyland/Vista Records) to produce several book-and-audio read-along albums based on popular Golden Books stories of the time, most notably the Little Critter series (created by Mercer Mayer). The line of these read-along albums was entitled "Golden Books & Records." Like all Walt Disney Records read-along albums at the time, these read-along albums often contained a song or two at the end. Some of the songs on the Golden Books & Records read-along albums were written by Larry Groce. Not to mention, in the late 1970s, as audio cassettes became a popular alternative to vinyl records, Disneyland/Vista Records changed its name to Disneyland/Vista Records & Tapes.

Besides this, some of the songs, all of which were written by Groce, were re-released on the Disney's Children's Favorites series.

In late 1989, Disneyland/Vista Records & Tapes changed its name to Walt Disney Records.
