Four Sesame Music Reissues Coming in March

Back in October, Sesame Workshop signed a long-term deal with KOCH Records to release "Sesame Street" albums and other audio titles. With perennial classics like "Rubber Duckie," "The People in Your Neighborhood," "Bein' Green," and new favorites like "Elmo's Song" no other children's audio catalog has meant more to so many generations.

To kick-off their partnership with Sesame Workshop, KOCH Records is planning to re-releases four classic Sesame Street albums - "Platinum All-Time Favorites", "Kids' Favorite Songs", "Sing the Alphabet", and "Elmopalooza". These four albums are among Sesame Street's best selling audio releases to date and feature hours of classic Sesame Street music. These four currently out-of-print albums are all set to be re-issued by Koch Records in March – planned to hit store shelves on March 4, 2008. These four new CD releases have been updated with new artwork matching the new look of Sesame Workshop consumer products and DVDs, and it has been said that each CD will include a color booklet contain the lyrics to all of the songs.

I have been told that KOCH is planning to release more classic Sesame Street titles in addition to creating all-new CD compilations; and I will keep you updated as information on other Sesame Street albums surface. So be sure to pick up these albums when they hit stores in March (and with a suggested retail price just around $10 each, how can you say no?). Below is a copy of the track listing for each of these title as given to me by KOCH Entertainment.
