What a way to celebrate SStreet's 35th anniversary! Three cds worth of musical hightlights from the show packaged gorgeously to top it all off.
This is a great mixture of songs for children, collectors and die-hard fans of the show: Children will love the upbeat songs and the more wimsical moments too (i don't want to live on the moon), whilst die-hard fans will relish the best songs (monster in the mirror, rubber duckie) being put onto one collection with over 20 previously unreleased tracks (shiny happy monsters), new versions of old favourites and hard to find songs.
This is such a great compilation from the street, 35 years worth of musical gems.

I grew up on Sesame Street. Well, not literally, but you know what I mean. I was born in the mid 70's in New York and my mom was a teacher, so she knew the plusses of starting education young.
Sesame Street could do now wrong in her book, and so we watched it ALL the time growing up. So all of these songs, even the newer ones, are significant to me. They invoke happy memories, from "Bein' Green" to the "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12" song - I had no idea it was by the Pointer sisters until I got the CD set! The Ladybug Picnic, Everybody Sleeps - Cab Calloway's Hi De Hi... all of the songs are there!
Anyway I now have a 19 month old son and this is just fantastic for both of us. If you grew up on Sesame Street and want your kids to be exposed to Good Wholesome Stuff as well, just buy it!!

Not quite as definitive as I'd hoped
6 Sep 2003
Format:Audio CD
We all know a few Sesame Street songs and chances are they appear on this collection which features 31 cast originals and 32 celebrity appearances. If you've been watching Sesame Street, you can probaly add those up to a grand total of 63 songs! Of the 31 cast originals, all but one track (HENSON KING OF EIGHT) has been previously released on LP or CD. It would have been nice to have more never-before-released tracks. That said, it's great to have some of the tracks appearing on CD for the first time. As for the 32 celebrity appearances, 25 of them have never been released before. So this is definately the set for you if you're a fan of the celebrity versions.
Inside the 10.5" cardboard case, the 3 Cds are presennted in cardboard slip covers and a 68 page booklet is included. The booklet is really impressive as it not only has credits and lyrics for every song, but also offers a brief timeline of the series from it's debut through the present day, as well as extensive liner notes.
I was really miffed that the original broadcast version of LADYBUG'S PICNIC wasn't used. In order to make this THE definitive Sesame Street collection I believe the broadcast version of all songs should have been used. That said, the remix version of the PINBALL NUMBER COUNT and SESAME STREET THEME are terrific!
For the casual Sesame Street fan this set is terrific. For the Sesame Street fan who has a few CD's but never owned or knows what an LP is, this set will offer you a few things you've never heard before like the Lena Horne and Grover classic HOW DO YOU DO. But if you want original broadcast versions of the songs and don't care for the celebrity intrepretations, then this is not the set for you.
This set gets close to being definitive, but misses the mark by not including original broadcast versions and focusing a bit too heavily on the celebrity appearances.

This is a terrific collection for both fans and kids!
8 Oct 2003
Format:Audio CD
I love this CD set - it sure beats hours of looking for downloads! It's got a great mix of vintage originals (plenty of Joe Raposo and Jeff Moss for me!) like "Somebody Come and Play" and "What's The Name of That Song" with celebrity songs like "Furry Happy Monsters," and "Elmo and the Lavendar Moon." Best of all, it contains a remix of the Pinball Number Count (you know: one two three FOUR FIVE six seven eight NINE TEN eleven twelve...)There are a couple pop-schmaltz songs on this CD, but they're few and far between. The songs seem to be recorded directly from shows, which may explain another viewer's issue with the quality.
Another plus is 15 pages of terrific liner notes by Sesame Street artist Christopher Cerf (Chrissy and the Alphabeats). It includes a timeline "Sesame Street through the years" on every page as well as great pictures. All the song lyrics are listed (including every syllable of Mah na Mah na!) Buy it - send your percentage of the profits to Sesame Street!

35 Years and a lot of missing memories...
14 April 2004
Format:Audio CD
Anxiously awaiting this box set, I was thoroughly disappointed when I found there were so, so many songs left out. There are so many songs from "today's Sesame" - what happened to the songs of Sesame from years ago? I was expecting to see more of the classic, unavailable songs from my record collection, but sadly, they can't be found on this box set. Disc 3 is a disappointment - who wants to hear another Aerosmith song???!! Not me. Give me the Ernie & Bert Rhyming song and you would have made my day. Sorry, I have to give it 2 stars. Most of these songs are available on all their other CDs. Shame on you Sesame Street! This box set is just as lame as Season 35.
