60 Favorite Songs from Sesame Street

[ssetta]

This was a 5 LP boxed set from 1975. It featured 60 Favorite Songs from Sesame Street, which you probably figured out by the title. I just recently won the auction for it on eBay, and I have really been enjoying it. It's got some great selections. Has anyone else ever heard of it? It was never mentioned on the back of any other albums.

I'm aware of it. I believe the songs included are songs that were released on other albums during the early years of the show.

Could you type up a track list for it though? I don't have one handy.

So, I'd say that sounds pretty good. Now I could be wrong about some of the Previously Unreleased tracks. But what I mean is that they WERE Previously Unreleased when this set was made back in 1975. See, I think the thing is, the show was very young back then, and they did not have 60 songs done by celebrities, which is why they couldn't have done it.
