Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you

THE GREATEST ALBUM EVER.



01. Sesame Street Fever (The Count, Grover, Ernie, Cookie Monster and Robin Gibb)
02. Doin' The Pigeon (Bert & the Girls)
03. Rubber Duckie (Ernie & His Rubber Duckie)
04. Trash (Robin Gibb)
05. C is for Cookie (Cookie Monster & the Girls)
06. Has Anybody Seen My Dog? (Marty and Grover)

The entire album is worth it if only for one line: "Look over there, your dog is getting funky with Cookie Monster!"


Now to find the Electric Company double album on MP3... I know it exists somewhere. If only I'd been larcenous back in my college days and ganked it from WMUA when I had the chance!

i clicked on this, half-fearing it would be the notorious mom's apple pie (NSFW).

at one point someone put together a website called sesameseventies.com that was devoted to the history of this album, and included a lot of mp3s. the webmaster even said "this has never been released on cd. when it is, we will take down the mp3s," yadda yadda. sadly, the riaa seems to have gotten wind of this. you can view an internet cache here.

that's because you totally thought it said "best album cover"

Eeeagh! Mom's Apple Pie! Just about as disturbing as the Blind Faith pedo cover! (Though, amusing enough, I've noticed the Marshall stack behind the cast-iron stove this time around. Funny, that.)

Too bad about the Sesame Seventies website. Does archive.org get multimedia files as well as the HTML? Not sure. I love any 2003-era site that tells me to "maximize your browser window", however.

I tried to download an MP3 linked in someone's archiv.orged blog once. I got a file that looked about right, title-wise, but it was tiny and didn't make any sound.

i haven't tried to d/load any mp3s from a wayback'ed website. try it, it might be fun!

my lone experience with the "mom's apple pie" cover was in a record store. i couldn't understand why anyone would sell or purchase that record for $50...until the nice guy behind the counter pulled it off the wall and let me take a closer look. ew. if i wanted to look at that, i'd pull out a mirror. i have no desire to look any more closely at it, thanks.
