Side A of the record had a narrated story of the Haunted Mansion (a soft cover storybook was attached to the record cover that allowed the listener to follow along with the record). Side B had (I think) the theme park soundtrack. Any information on this item would be appreciated (ie. what the thing is called, where it might be sold, etc.)

Originally Posted By Ghost_Bruin Yes that is it, the one with the "See, Hear, Read". I guess it was a 33.3 RPM, I remember it being a smaller record and assumed it must have been a 45. Now I have to see if I can buy it. Thanks everyone.

Not sure what happened to the Small World one. Sure wish I had it now. Also wish we'd had the Haunted Mansion one. The artwork in the booklet is fantastic.

The artwork in that was amazing too. <a href="http://www.hauntedmansioncollectibles.com/2009/09/haunted-mansion-board-game-by-lakeside/" target="_blank">http://www.hauntedmansioncolle...akeside/</a>
