Disney & Co
Disney & Co is a souvenir store situated on Main Street USA situated between Walt's and Casey's. It sells mainly plush toys of the Disney characters along with Tee shirts and other park memorabilia. Since a recent refurb, it now has a large amount of Pixar-related souvenirs including Cars and Toy Story.
When the park opened, it's centrepiece was a circus organ which has been reported on many sites to have played live music but was soon replaced by recorded music. Recently, the organ has been removed (it's destined for WDW as part of the Fantasyland expansion or so it's said).
Member DavidG has made enquiries about this with imagineers who were involved with it at the very start and reports that the music of this store and the Candy store have always played the recording since the park opened in 1992 with one of the speakers placed behind the organ pipes to give the impression it was playing live (cunning eh and appears to have convinced many - myself included - and given rise to the assumption it was a live organ). This has a precedent at DLRP as the organ in Main St station was never a "working" organ and was a prop built for the station that played a fanfare when a train arrived.
Our grateful thanks to DavidG for this information.
The organ area is now a Mr Potato head section.
Details of track times and edits will appear shortly as will a playlist with links to the tracks.
All tracks were able to be confirmed using our ears !
It's nice to see the use of two French albums in this loop as well and not just using a carousel loop from elsewhere. They have used a nice selection of CDs for the source (rather than just playing the one CD through).
All tracks are available to buy from the usual places so, once the edits are worked out, a reconstruction is possible. Watch this space.
All the albums bar the two French ones were issued (originally) before 1992 although they may possibly have also been issued as early as the parent company is a production music company.
Our thanks again to DavidG for making me re-check the dates of the source albums and also for pointing out that the same loop plays in the Boardwalk Candy Palace in Main St (between the photography shop and Disney Clothiers) and has done since 1992 and we can confirm that it does, indeed, play there as well. The blog entry for that will refer back to this entry for details.

Now, I'll admit that I haven't checked all the release dates as you did, however I know that at least a good part of the loop played well before 2008 or 2011. Perhaps some tracks were originally released on different albums? In fact, Paddlin' Madelin Home has even been re-released on the album Une Journée à Disneyland Paris in 1999.
This also appears to play at Boardwalk Candy Palace; I suspect that it was originally created for that shop and then added to Disney & Co. when the live organ music was discontinued?
