    Very good fun! Like many Sesame Street albums, Henson & co don't just put together tracks from the show but manage to make a listening experience, taking full advantage of the medium to make the record as entertaining to listen to as the show is to watch. Everything is weaved together nicely. It's almost like listening to a Muppets radio show. So many classics from the show are represented here, but there are extra little gags here and there that you'll find just on the album. It's a brilliant listen! Strangely enough, the American release has fewer tracks than the UK one. (It's missing "Pachalafaka" and "Hugga Wugga".)

          This is a classic, funny album I have loved since I was a kid. A mixture of sketches and songs that still stand up today.
