We had lots of books-with-associated-tape when we were kids, although that was in the '80s so that doesn't answer whether it was just an '80s thing.
I remember some Sesame Street, some Disney, and some Ladybird Books that matched a piece of classic literature with a piece of classical music used as underscore ("Snow White" with Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony, "The Snow Queen" with the Winter from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and "Peter Pan" with something less famous that I couldn't name but can still sing from memory).
And then there was the one (I think it was a Disney) about Davy Crockett defeating an Injun uprising, only the narrator's enunciation was a bit unclear in places and one of my sibs was convinced it was about Davy Crockett rescuing a stolen horse.
