Hello,

I commented a couple of days ago about Little Jerry and the Monotones being left out (again) of the Old School Box set. It was stated that some of these are hard to find... Well I have as well as a few others have posted these rare clips on YouTube.com

Here is a link to "Mountain of Love"

I really wanted Little Jerry and the Monotones to be included on the set, too. While we're at it, let's add a new lyric to the song "Mad".

"When there's a big Sesame Street set,
and it excludes Little Jerry and the Monotones,
that makes me MAD!"

"yeah, we're angry,
very, very angry,
WE'RE MAD!"

It's only the first set. SW is testing the waters right now. If it sells well I'm sure they'll be included on a future set. We have to keep in mind most people buying this don't have these common clips in their possession. Once they go through the ones everyone knows they'll get to the more obscure ones.

I'll agree with Big Bird Fan on this one. Sure, they SHOULD have put Little Jerry stuff on that set, but maybe it slipped their minds. Or, like the Jim Henson tribute that was to have been put on the TMS box set Vol 1 was moved to Vol 2 because they didn't have enough room for it.

I mean, I'm more disappointed that there hasd only been one Little Jerry song on CD, "With Every Beat of My Heart" which isn't that memorable... at least not as memorable as Mad or Telephone Rock. They should have put some on Sesame Road instead of "Off to School" or "I'm the big one Now."

Now, the only thing stopping me from getting this set RIGHT NOW is that I'm broke. I'd even put off all the other box sets I plan to buy (With Rocky and Bullwinkle season 3, and Super MArio Super show Vol2) to get this one.

It's also dissapointing that none of their songs were included in Count it Higher: Great Music Videos from Sesame Street.

I wonder if With Every Beat of my Heart or Four were ever broadcast on the show, or if they were only recorded for albums.
