Choosing among collectible vinyl records is less about finding one universal winner and more about matching the record format, story, condition, and included book to the way you collect. Here, the decision comes down to two main lanes: Disney storybook records with larger-format nostalgic appeal, and Gremlins read-along records with a compact children's record format. Prices run from USD 10.80 to USD 32.99, so the spread is meaningful enough to think about whether you want the lowest-cost bundle, a sealed item, or a specific Disney soundtrack title.
Quick take
- Best for a Roger Miller Disney soundtrack focus: Disneyland Records: Robin Hood by Roger Miller: 12" LP Vinyl Record 1973 w/Book, thanks to its soundtrack genre, Roger Miller artist credit, and illustrated book feature.
- Best low-priced Gremlins read-along pick: 1984 Gremlins: The Gift Of The Mogwai Read Along Book Record 33RPM Vintage, a used 7" children's music record tied to the 1984 title.
- Best if sealed condition matters most: SEALED CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK & 33 RPM - BUENA VISTA 466 - "GREMLINS, which is marked new and has the sealed feature.
- Best multi-record Disney storybook lot: 2 DISNEYLAND VINYL RECORDS/BOOKS~3974 MICKEY & THE BEAN STALK~3903 BAMBI 1968-9, because it includes two Disneyland records/books in one purchase.

| Disneyland Records: Robin Hood by Roger Miller: 12" LP Vinyl Record 1973 w/Book | USD 32.99 |
The lowest listed price is 67% below the highest, so the top question is whether the Robin Hood title's 12" LP format, Roger Miller credit, and illustrated book are worth stepping well above the other three. The two Gremlins choices sit closer together, while the two-record Disneyland bundle is the lowest-priced entry despite including Mickey and the Beanstalk and Bambi titles.

Concise product notes
Disneyland Records: Robin Hood by Roger Miller: 12" LP Vinyl Record 1973 w/Book
This is the strongest match for shoppers focused on the 1973 Disney Robin Hood soundtrack rather than just a general children's read-along record. The title names Roger Miller, and the attributes add a 12" record format, black vinyl, cardboard sleeve, catalog number 3810, and an illustrated book. That gives it a more specific soundtrack identity than the Gremlins read-along options. The main limitation is the higher listed price compared with the rest of this group, and its condition is used rather than new or sealed. It is best for someone who specifically wants the Robin Hood film connection and book pairing.
1984 Gremlins: The Gift Of The Mogwai Read Along Book Record 33RPM Vintage
This Gremlins option is the simpler used read-along pick. It has a 1984 release year, 7" record size, 33 RPM speed, vinyl material, and children's music genre, which makes it a focused choice for someone collecting movie-linked children's records in a smaller format. The title's The Gift Of The Mogwai wording is the key reason to choose it over the Disney titles. Its limitation is that it does not carry the sealed feature found on the other Gremlins item, and the artist is listed as various rather than a single named performer. Choose it for the vintage Gremlins theme in a straightforward record format.
SEALED CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK & 33 RPM - BUENA VISTA 466 - "GREMLINS
This is the Gremlins choice for shoppers who care most about condition language. It is marked new, has the sealed feature, and pairs a children's picture book with a 33 RPM record under Buena Vista 466 wording. The description also names a 24-page book, which gives it a clearer book component than the used Gremlins read-along title. The tradeoff is that the release title is not descriptive in the attributes, and the title itself is less cleanly phrased than 1984 Gremlins: The Gift Of The Mogwai. It fits a collector who wants the Gremlins theme with sealed presentation more than a specific release-title display.
2 DISNEYLAND VINYL RECORDS/BOOKS~3974 MICKEY & THE BEAN STALK~3903 BAMBI 1968-9
This bundle stands out because the title names two Disneyland vinyl records/books: Mickey and the Beanstalk and Bambi. The attributes point to a cardboard, book-style case with storybook, black vinyl, Walt Disney artist credit, and a 1960s era. That makes it a practical starting point if you want multiple Disney story records instead of a single soundtrack LP. The limitation is that it is used and the longer description includes play and wear language for the records and covers, so it is not positioned like a new or sealed collector piece. Its strongest appeal is the two-title Disney storybook format.
How to choose among them
If the collection goal is Disney first, narrow the choice to Robin Hood or the Mickey and Bambi bundle. Robin Hood is the better thematic fit for a soundtrack shelf because it lists soundtrack as genre and Roger Miller as artist. The Mickey and Bambi bundle is the better fit when the number of included storybook records matters more than a single film soundtrack focus.
If the collection goal is Gremlins first, compare condition and title clarity. The Gift Of The Mogwai read-along record is the cleaner pick for a 1984 used vintage Gremlins read-along. The Buena Vista 466 Gremlins item is the stronger pick when sealed condition and the picture-book pairing are the draw.
If the goal is lowest outlay, the two Disneyland records/books bundle has the lowest listed price in the group. That is notable because it is also the only option here whose title clearly names two records/books. If the goal is a single, more specific Disney LP, the Robin Hood record is the highest-priced item, but it is also the one with the clearest named artist and soundtrack positioning.
Final recommendation
For most shoppers choosing among these vinyl records, the best all-around storybook-record value is 2 DISNEYLAND VINYL RECORDS/BOOKS~3974 MICKEY & THE BEAN STALK~3903 BAMBI 1968-9 at USD 10.80, because it combines the lowest listed price with two named Disney records/books and a book-style storybook format.
Pick Disneyland Records: Robin Hood by Roger Miller: 12" LP Vinyl Record 1973 w/Book at USD 32.99 if the priority is the 1973 Robin Hood soundtrack, Roger Miller credit, and illustrated book. For Gremlins collectors, choose SEALED CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK & 33 RPM - BUENA VISTA 466 - "GREMLINS at USD 15.00 if sealed/new condition matters, or 1984 Gremlins: The Gift Of The Mogwai Read Along Book Record 33RPM Vintage at USD 11.30 if the used 1984 read-along title is the main attraction.
