The Haunted Mansion - 30th Anniversary

The Haunted Mansion – 30th Anniversary was the album released for the 30th Anniversary of The Haunted Mansion. The original 1999 CD was a 13-track limited edition of only 999 copies, all sold out within two hours at Disneyland's special event for the Haunted Mansion's 30th anniversary. It featured a green disc, a 5-page insert/artwork, and an extra 1-page insert featuring autographs of Buddy Baker and X. Atencio, the men who wrote Grim Grinning Ghosts.

The second edition, also from 1999, immediately followed but without the 13th track. It featured a gold disc, the same 5-page insert/artwork, but no 1-page extra insert with the autographs.

The third edition from 1999 featured a standard silver disc, also had the same 12 tracks as the second edition, had a simpler two page foldout insert/artwork (same second edition front picture with different wording; the back cover was slightly re-arranged), and no 1-page extra insert with the autograph.

A 2006 version (fourth edition) with 11 tracks was released without the Disneyland Paris track, but added a Disneyland 10th Anniversary cut. Walt Disney's Welcome is missing. See the below track listing. It has a cover featuring the gate plaque on the brick columns outside of the Haunted Mansion.
