in a nutshell, kiddie records has catalogued, well, kid records from the past. anybody from gen x and before who, you know, actually HAD records (and not for novelty purpose, but because they were the main way we had to listen to music!) will probably recognize a ton of these albums.
some highlights (left click on album title - you'll download a zip file):
*rip van winkle and ichabod (the legend of sleepy hollow). this is a pretty classic album that has thrilled kids for decades.
*mr. toad - who didn't love the wind and the willows? narroted by basil rathbone and the original cast of the disney cartoon.
*slugger at the bat and casey at the bat - baseball fans, rejoice. jackie robinson and pee wee reese narrate the first story, lionel barrymore the second.
*and my personal favorite, which nearly brought a tear to my eye and a lot of joy to my heart because it was perhaps one of my favorite albums as a kid, is mickey and the beanstalk. sweet memories!
if you want, you can head to the site and stream the albums rather than download them.
thanks, cathy, for introducing me to such an amazing collection of kid records!
