Mary Poppins is the original cast soundtrack album for Walt Disney's 1964 musical film of the same name. Released by Buena Vista Records, the album features music and lyrics by the Sherman Brothers (Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman), performed by Julie Andrews in her Oscar-winning role as the magical nanny, alongside Dick Van Dyke, Glynis Johns, and David Tomlinson. The album's composition and style reflect a deliberate blend of Edwardian-era British music hall influences and mid-20th-century Broadway craftsmanship. The Sherman Brothers crafted 14 narrative-driven songs, ranging from the vaudevillian energy of "Step in Time" to the lyrical sophistication of "The Life I Lead", tailored to Julie Andrews' vocal precision and Dick Van Dyke’s theatrical flair. Orchestrator Irwin Kostal enriched these melodies with whimsical arrangements, such as the frenetic "Carousel Chase" sequence. The lyrics balanced child-friendly whimsy ("A Spoonful of Sugar") with subtle social commentary ("Sister Suffragette"), ensuring cross-generational appeal. Notably, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" later entered the Oxford English Dictionary, a testament to the soundtrack's linguistic creativity.
Critical reception unanimously celebrated the soundtrack's artistry and enduring appeal. AllMusic hailed Julie Andrews' "perfect" vocal embodiment of Mary Poppins, while Film Score Monthly awarded the 2004 reissue five stars for its "wealth of treasure", including Kostal's instrumental score. The Los Angeles Times noted its practicality beyond entertainment, recommending songs like "Stay Awake" for childcare and "Step in Time" for household chores. The soundtrack became a cultural phenomenon, topping the Billboard LP chart for 14 weeks and selling over 2.3 million copies within its first year. Its success was propelled by iconic songs like "Chim Chim Cher-ee" (which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song), "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", and the poignant "Feed the Birds (Tuppence a Bag)"—Walt Disney's personal favorite. The album sold over 6 million copies up to 1968.

CONDITION Descriptions:
I base the condition of each of my Records off of Ebay's Grading System. 
• MINT (M) Looks new and unplayed. Very high vinyl luster and no noticeable label defects. Sounds new. With 45rpm records, this does not always mean there is no surface noise at all. 
• NEAR MINT (NM) Looks almost new, but has some minor flaws such as a drill hole; unobtrusive writing on label (e.g., an X on a promo copy); minor scuffing on vinyl; minor color flaking on label, or other insignificant flaws that only slightly detract from visual appeal. May have some minor surface noise, but nothing distracting. 
• VERY GOOD (VG) There may be light scuffing and some of the original vinyl luster may be lost. The vinyl and label may appear used, but well cared for. Records may have some more obvious flaws that are not visually degrading such as a sticker on the label; more noticeable writing on the label; scuffing and minor scratches on the vinyl; or minor discoloration of the label. There may be very minor warping of the vinyl. There may be a slight scratch not affecting play. 
• GOOD (G) Record has visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, minor surface scratches, groove wear, and audible surface noise. Appears well used but not abused. May have a few major flaws, such as scratches, label tears, or stickers, and/or writing. 
• FAIR (F) Appears well used and somewhat abused. Audio is not great due to surface noise and scratches. The record may have a stick or a skip. Records in this condition are those you might purchase to fill a hole in your collection until a better copy comes along. 
• POOR (P) Well played with little luster and significant surface noise, but still not cracked or broken. Record likely skips and/or sticks. Typically so bad looking that a true “collector” would just toss it out. More useful as a Frisbee. I try not to sell records in this condition.
