Recorded between 1969 & 2004. Includes liner notes by Christopher Cerf.
For those who grew up on the magic of PBS and Sesame Street, there are countless musical moments permanently imprinted in the back of our minds, as well as in popular culture's. That said, there are 63 moments spanning three-and-a-half decades that children (and adults) of all ages will recall and sing along to with great fondness. An armada of Sesame Street's guest appearances are included here : Cab Calloway, Lena Horne, R.E.M., the Fugees, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Tony Bennett and Johnny Cash are just but a few. However, it's the interludes from the show's original material featuring cast members, muppets and educational songs that are inarguably the true stars here. From the opening bells and guitar of Sesame Street's instantly identifiable theme song, to the charming, simple anthems courtesy of genius Joe Raposo, to such classics as "C Is for Cookie," "Rubber Duckie," "Doin' the Pigeon" and "Mah Na Mah Na," to the contemplative, potent "Bein' Green" from Kermit the Frog -- it's all here. While some collectors may scoff at the availability of most of this material on other CDs (and truth be told, a follow-up collection focusing entirely on the earliest years would be superb), fans who grew up on the show and children alike will find having them all on one disc, complete with superb liner notes, lyrics and pictures, an essential piece in their children's record collection. This is the definitive resource, bar none. Simply outstanding. ~ Rob Theakston

Customer Songs From The Street: 35 Years Of Music Reviews
Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)
35 Years of Great Memories This new Sesame Street set is a great sampler of their best tunes over the years. As I listened to it for the first time, each family member came in and sang along with one or more of the songs. It is not often that a release comes out that my whole family enjoys. I think everyone might look at the contents and say, "Yes, but what about . . . ?", and there are some songs I thought should have been included, but the essentials are all here. This is a must have for children of any age (2-102) who have ever enjoyed watching Sesame Street. The liner notes are a big plus, too.

Whole family loves it! I bought this for my son when he was 18 months old. Now, six months later, my husband and I find ourselves singing the songs as we walk around the house. It has a great mix of artists, from some "Golden Oldies" to current day musicians and everything in between. My son asks for it whenever we get in the car. It makes those car trips much more enjoyable. I swear he knows every word to every song and has his own favorites. I am buying another copy to keep in the house. I really think this is a must have if your child enjoys music. Trust me, you well love it too!! Submitted by Jennie (Florida, USA) Was This Review Helpful?
