Sesame music anyone?

Music anyone?

Hi!
I have a collection of old Sesame Street and Muppet record albums. I am not into it to get into the monetary value of them, but rather the pure aesthetics and my own materialistic Taurean nature. Currently the album covers are hanging on the walls of my daughters bedroom, much like a wall paper border...only cooler! Haha! I keep the records seperate and they are all in good condition considering the age. I also found a set of Sesame Street 45's at Value Village. I darn near wet my pants when I found them...a buck a piece!
Another treasure is the three disc set of Songs from the Street. Even my husband knows all the lyrics to them now!!
So anyone collect music like this?
Ciao!

Songs From The Street

Yeah, I recently bought the Songs From The Street set. Great stuff! Although, I could do without the Destiny's Child, N'Sync, etc. on Disc 3. And some of my favorites were left out, like "Dance Myself To Sleep," "If Moon Was Cookie" and a few others. But overall I'm really excited to finally have so many classic Sesame songs and be able to hear them anytime I want. The set is definitely worth buying if you love Sesame Street.

Thumbs Up

Ah, I couldn't agree with you more on the Songs From the Street! But that's the beauty of SS, you have such a wide range of music to select from!
My particular favorite is Grover and Madelaine Kahn. That woman exudes comedic talent from her pores, I believe! And Grover is her prefect match.

Where is Songs from the Street VERY inexpensive? When that set came out, it was so doggoned expensive that it wasn't even funny.

I know...it was 52 dollars Canadian here at Wal-Mart (*shudder). But, you know what....worth every penny.

Songs from the Street

The set is on Amazon.com for $39.98 USD. I bought mine new on ebay for 30-something dollars. You might be able to find a used set on ebay for cheaper. It's worth a try.

Hey Tim,If Your SS Record Signs Is Cracked,How Good Does It Play

It's so cracked that I don't think I've ever tried to play it. I mean, half of the record is completely cracked. There are so many songs on it that I'd love to hear, too. "Exit" and "One Way" by Chris and the Alphabeats, plus the "Sesame Street Theme" sung by Big Bird!

All of the songs from the "Signs" album are on Muppet Central Radio. Click below to listen. It's always been one of my favorites as well.
