Episode 4106
this should be more than helpful. I can't do the typing personally today though, b/c I spent the whole day tracking down info to add to Bob's Deaf Niece, (4106) which aired today. I added a lot, but I need help to clean it up.

"Archive of American Television Interview with Bob Mcgrath" type it into google video. click on "watch video here" A must see. he doesn't mention the street until about 2:00 into part two, but once he does, he offers So much info! WOW :) --Tyrekecorrea 21:58, 14 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Tyrekecorrea. Thanks for all your hard work on Episode 4106 - you did a great job with it!  For what you have it just needs some minor reformatting.  I have posted about the Bob interview on his page...  -- Wendy  (talk ) 04:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Born to Add 45
Hey, Wendy, where did you find the Canadian 45 of Born to Add? That's great! But I'm a little confused why you put it on the album page instead of the main singles page. If it's because it's Canadian, we've been putting foreign Muppet Show singles on the Muppet Discography, not on the Muppet Show album's page. So I was wondering about that. On the plus side, we now have a new Canadian numbering series to mess with, plus this is way after they quit making US store stock 45's, so I hope we find more! -- Ken (talk ) 06:25, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey Ken -- I feel like my brain is going in ten directions here. One of these days I've got to get back to poor Bob's discography.  So anyhow, the single was on ebay (I really love ebay; it's like the ultimate window-shopping/yard-sale experience, all while sitting comfortably at home); I thought you would like it!  It's funny because I now see stuff and think "Wait 'til Ken sees this!"
 * Anyhow, I put it onto the album page because I wanted to get it into the wiki but, as you guessed, wasn't sure about putting it with all the US singles. The foreign singles for SS we've largely lumped into the foreign album pages they match (so they didn't have stand-alone pages).  Which is what I was thinking about.  But now that you mention it, we put the Canadian LPs onto the main discography.  I'll move it.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 04:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Edgar Kendrick
Hey, Wendy, have you seen anything anywhere about Edgar Kendrick? I've now seen that he's written 3 Sesame Street songs (the ABC song on Susan's album, Cross at the Green, and the 1-20 song you just made), so I'd like to make a page for him, but I don't know if he was a songwriter for SS, or if he was an outside songwriter who happened to contibute a few songs. He also sang Cross at the Green on the Signs album. I looked around online a few months ago, but I couldn't find that much about him. Thanks! -- Ken (talk ) 02:34, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know much about him. Searching around it appears that there are two children's albums from the 70's by him as Edgar Kendricks (which suggests a BMI error on his name, sigh), which do include The ABC song and the 1-20 song, although not, as far as I can tell, "Cross at the Green", unless he retitled it "The Traffic Lights".  It was pretty common for them to use outside songs in the first season or two, and perhaps the "Cross at the Green", since he sang it, was some sort of guest appearance type thing?  I'm not sure.  At anyrate, he doesn't really rate a page as a composer (yet) since SS doesn't appear to have any rights to his songs, but possibly for singing if we can track down whether, for example, he sang on the show as well as the album.  Or that's my take on the matter :o) -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:35, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

News Flash
Now that the Sesame Street News Flash has been given the Quality award, can we mention it in the Today On column? I didn't know if you guys still wanted it to be put on the nomination page, since I think you always mention things that win the Quality award.

By the way, nice SIRE regarding the color coded reading cards! Was yours called the SRA box or something like that? It looks like back in the 1970's they were huge, and now they're part of McGraw-Hill. I remember getting confused because one of the colors was called "aqua", and I had never heard of that color before, and since it was kind of a bluish color, I kept wondering why they didn't spell it as "agua"! -- Ken (talk ) 06:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Of Fevers and Phono-Viewers
Hey, Wendy, can you take a look at Sesame Street Fever? Paul added 2 foreign releases, but we've also got some 8-track pictures, and I didn't know if you wanted to combine that all into one gallery. Thanks.

And where did you find the box of "Show and Tell" (I mean "Phono-Viewer") stuff? That's great! -- Ken (talk ) 04:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Ken. Yeah I think it looks better combined.  See what you think.  The phono-viewer box was in an ebay auction; apparently found at an estate sale.  I had no idea they came in boxes, although it makes sense actually.  I'm suddenly remembering those endless boxes of color coded reading skills cards we had to work through in elementary school!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 19:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Kyle's talk page
Sorry to keep sending you messages so soon, but can you look at Kyle's talk page? I think he was trying to make some archive listings, but it looks different than how you guys usually do it. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:32, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

MUPPET DESIGNER: Mark Ruffin
Hi Wendy, My name is Mark Ruffin, I was a puppet builder at the NYC Muppet Workshop for six years and would like to be included in the Muppet designer listing. Can you assist me with that? Thank You, Mark Thekingofplush 19:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Mark. Which list did you want to be included on?  I'll be happy to properly categorize your page.  Perhaps you could provide some details of when you worked there and what projects/puppets you worked on?  It looks like we only have you linked for "The Muppets on Puppets", which isn't much to work from!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Do you collect?
Hi Wendy as a big international sesame street fan I was wondering if you also collected things from the muppets or sesame street? My interest first are in all the foreign pvc, records and handpuppets. I almost have them complete (exept from norway and japan). When I finished a collection I go on with other toys.Pino 19:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey Paul -- I don't collect stuff unfortunately, except in my head and on the wiki! I love finding things and finding the pictures but don't have the space (or the money!) to buy much of it.   Plus, I object to overseas shipping charges on the international stuff; it spoils all the fun of a good bargain...
 * I think it's great you have such a big collection. If you collect Muppet PVC, do you know, by chance if Maia & Borges ever sold stuff themselves? Or if they just made it for Schleich to distribute?  That's something that's always puzzled me....  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * As far as I know there where several companys in the 70/80 in europa that produced for other.. Like coca cola they didnt had much of their own factorys either.. We had a factory that produced for coca cola also for them selves.. only the outside of the tin/ bottle looked different. My guess is that the same counted for several merchandise. There was and is a lot of trading here. Schleich had a factory in Portugal, Hong Kong and Germany.Pino 22:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Ebay listings
Hi, Wendy! I was messing around eBay today, and I found some things you might be interested in. There seem to be some singles that go with the Muppet Masquerade sets. I forgot how I brought it up, but they're singles with a free mask, but they don't tell you what the singles are. Also, I typed "Sesame 45" just for fun, and a whole bunch of things came up with pictures of the labels, in all kinds of colors! If there are too many to keep, I understand, but it was fun just to look at them, and I'm probably going to keep my own research, because I've always wondered if 45's were pressed in different colors. I mean, we know that there are different colors, but I've never paid attention if the same single exists in more than one color. I have seen variations where the Columbia book and record logos on SS1 45's is white on ones that I have, and Kyle has one that's black. Anyway, I just wanted to mention that to you. Nice job on that new set of Spanish books! And did you pick Scouting? If you did, thanks! I've been in Scouting my whole life, and it was nice to know that Jim was a Cub Scout! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up on the Mask single; pity it doesn't say what the record is and doubly a pity that we can't read the number on it, but at least we know to look for it! I grabbed the images so we'll have 'em for later.
 * I'm not sure where I'd start on the 45s -- I always seem to see a multitude of colors when I look, and I guess I never thought it meant much as a result. But when I have a chance (which I don't right now as everyone in the house has a cold.  Great fun.) I'll grab some of the better ones, ok?
 * You're welcome on the Scouting, although you should really thank whoever nominated it. I like it when we have articles like that. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:11, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'll have to see who nominated it. By the way, thanks for the Big Bird single!  We only have 11 left out of the original 76!


 * Hope you all feel better! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:51, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I was happy about the single I admit. I even stayed up a few extra minutes for it :o)  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

2 things
1) Thanks for the cleanup on the libros de la mess! I was trying to clean up a few last night, but I was getting confused, and I figured an admin would have to clean up all of the moves and duplicates!  I'm going to ask Paul if he can scan some inside pages, so we can figure out what's going on with the lowercase volumes.  It looks like the 2 "P" books make it impossible to tell which is which, and there may be others like that, and that italicized C is really weird!

2) The double 45 looks great, but is there any way to put a note that the 2nd copy is a reissue in 1977? Right now it looks like they came out at the same time, if you didn't know when CRA and Distinguished were in business.  Also, can you get the pictures of the 45's and put them in the image chamber?  They look pretty good, and I want to someday incorporate the label design on the singles history page.  When I get a scanner, I want to contribute the ones that I have, too! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey Ken -- yeah, the cleanup on those was fairly serious -- nobody could spell "enciclopedia" apparently; I took to cutting and pasting. I'm about to merge the double-letters now because as Scott points out, there's not a lot of info, and that C thing is just not going to make me happy.
 * I'll add a caption on the images (I think I can do that). The labels are pretty blurry I thought but I can grab them if you want.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:28, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I know the labels are kind of blurry, but I wanted to keep them for reference as I'm trying to form a history of label design. I have one that's blue, but everything I see on eBay is yellow, and I don't know if that has to do with the switch from CRA to Distinguished.  Also, I love that CRA orange "Top 40" label!


 * On the Spanish books, I'm hoping that if we can find out what's in them, we can eventually have full pages on them, and maybe even link to their English counterparts, kind of like we've been doing on records. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 06:11, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I still have the original larger scans from a site... They are larger.. For the other encyclopedia I have a question... Wendy If I mail you a scan of the cover can you make me a better example of a page so you guys wont have to rename or restyle my last mess?
 * My mail is sesameplanet@chello.nl It really helped if I have a propper example of one of the encyclopedia's I want to addd now. Its a different serie and I actually have them here -1 at home.Pino 15:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey Paul -- Just upload the image and I'll make up a page, ok? You can link to it on my talk page so nobody deletes it before I get back to use it.  Also tell me any other info you know about it (like if there are duplicate letters, publisher, year, etc.) -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 17:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Wendy [[Image:Presesam01.jpg|thumb|150px|this]] is the image. The first book of a series called probably Preguntale a Sesamo. The year is also 1985 (it seems the barrio collection all made things this year or something). Publisher is also Orbis Montena. There is a cros line above the U inside the book for Preguntale and one above the E in Sesame. Autors are Saro de la Iglesia and Javier Gomes Rea. Illustrations are made by Francisco Capdevilla. The ISBN for the complete series is 84 7515 601 0 and for this imagebook its 84 7515 602 9.

 * 25 in total 25 and the other series I discovered also.. Book W (offcourse) is missing???Paul 20:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Paul. I made a page for the book; please hold off on making more of them until Andrew has a chance to once-over the title as I'm not 100% sure about the best way to indicate "Volume" in Spanish.  Also yes, the other series (the Enciclopedia Abrete) is missing W, R, and RR.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:30, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Un dolor de la cabeza
Thanks for working on the "enciclopedia" clean-up. I really have some other work to do, but I didn't want to let this sit much longer. If you can take care of the remainder in Category:Enyclopedia Barrio Sésamo and so on, I'd appreciate it (there's proabbly still some double redirects too, but I think all the duplicates are gone; though the confusing part is the existence of volumes about lower case and capital letters, but that's correct if unusual). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy New Year!
I didn't know what time zone you lived in, so I waited until all 4 crossed over. It's been a great year for me and for the wiki, and I'm looking forward to doing even more in 2008! Thanks for all of your help, and Happy New Year to you and your family! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 09:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Episode 0796
Hey, Wendy! Can you look at the talk page for Episode 0796? I have a question about a song. People have called it 2 different things, but nothing shows up on ASCAP or BMI. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:25, 1 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for solving the mystery! I'm glad you had some CTW documents.  I'll have to watch my copy again, but I think some of the verses start with "Grover got a letter", so no wonder I couldn't find it! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes -- I had to double check the description when I first saw the title, but it seemed unlikely there'd be two songs about mail from Amy!! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Record stuff
Wow, you've been busy! I love the page you made for the educational Show and Tell stuff! I'm glad we were finally able to make some sense out of that! I hope there are more of them!

I had a question on the Bob discography you're making. I'm confused as to what you feel belongs in there. I noticed that you had some SS albums that don't have him on the cover. Can you explain how you picked the ones you did?

Also, I keep forgetting to ask you. Is that RCA 45 the only outside Loretta Long record we have? If so, can we put it somewhere on Loretta's bio page? I thought about doing a discography for her too, but I think that's all we have. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 06:16, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * For Bob I was doing mostly stuff with him on the cover, only it seemed silly to have singles from some albums but not the albums. Hence the waffly state of the SS stuff.  I can't decide whether to include all the SS albums he's been on or not.  Also I wish we knew if there were more Japanese albums...
 * I can't find any Loretta Long stuff besides that promo 45.. it bugs me because I keep thinking there should be an album with it. So yeah; her page would be a good place for that.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 06:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * There's definitely more Japanese stuff. See this single I pulled off of the Japanese Wikipedia ages ago (and which has now been replaced there), which has label info too. So that could be a useful lead. And I'd agree with Ken. I'd think the Bob McGrath Discography should include just the Sesame-label albums which were all/mostly Bob and the singles (with a note of the source album), since otherwise there's tons of albums to add, and it seems the article is most useful a) to demonstrate Bob's extensive recording history, both outside albums and Sesame-label showcases and b) get some of the "awkward" items out of the main discography without losing them. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 07:18, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I figured you might be doing that, but I was afraid that if we include every SS album that he sang on, we'd be putting a lot of them in here. I'll have to run through my stuff and see how many that would be.  My original idea was to have a place to put his non-SS stuff, because I don't think any place on the web documents his pop stuff, and I think his official site covers his self-pressed kids' stuff.  But I wasn't sure if you guys felt that doing this was beyond the scope of the wiki.  Sometimes I forget that this is supposed to be a Muppet Wiki and not Sesame Street Wiki, because I get tempted to cover the careers of people who aren't strictly Muppet-related, like some of the cartoon people.  Anyway, I'm positive that there are more Japan LP's.  He was huge over there, and they might even be on CD now!  I'll have to check Amazon Japan!


 * Oh, hi, Andrew! We posted at the same time.  Your name is missing, but I'm guessing it's you! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 07:15, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, whenever I forget to include that last tilde, it gives the date but leaves off my name. And as for scope, by now as you note, it's expanded as long as it can still be tied directly to the core Wiki topics (Sesame, Muppet, Henson) and as long as it fills a niche of fan interest which can't be found elsewhere. Thus, things like Category:Connections and Muppeteers in Non-Henson Acting Roles. For myself, I've been slowly and gradually gathering screengrabs of core Sesame Street Cast in their off the street roles, especially Will Lee, Sonia Manzano, and others (excluding the likes of Charlotte Rae and others for whom Sesame was basically a career pit-stop); some I've parked on their pages or on Law & Order, but eventually I'd like to have full filmography galleries for these people. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 07:18, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh cool! I hadn't seen that single before.  I put the it onto the page; I'd guess it's from the Japanese LP already on there as it's the same label (CBS), roughly the same outfit in the picture, and both songs are on that LP.
 * I also took off the two SS LPs, leaving only the singles and the stuff like Bob Sings!. I actually think you guys are right about not including all the SS album appearances now that I think about it some more, so that's good.  I'm vaguely curious about creating a list of them, but I think it would fit better on his page, sort of like we do appearances for some of the other characters.
 * The one other thing I wasn't sure about is album appearances he's made on non-SS, non-Bob-only albums: there's a whole series of "Toddler's Next Steps" albums for example that he was part of, and an "orchestra-plays-kid's music" type thing that he's listed on. Any thoughts?
 * I think full filmographies for the core cast members will be great; and I also think expanding the scope of the wiki as we continue to grow makes a lot of sense. That's actually one reason I set up the Bob sandbox page; to sort of see how other people felt about it.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm glad we're finally figuring out what to do with the non-official Bob and Susan stuff. I love covering their careers on here, but I never liked putting those odd records in the official list.  As far as all other albums that he did, I'm all for putting everything we can find, but others may disagree.  I know that his career has been a lot like Mr. Rogers's career, in that they both made a lot of children's records on labels that don't exist anymore, so documenting them can be difficult.  So I think having some kind of complete listing of Bob's recordings would be something that people would come here for.  If you go to Bob's website, people are always asking him questions about his multifaceted career, and even his own site doesn't list everything he's ever done, so it would be nice if we did.  I'm not sure if other people may feel this is too much information, but I would be happy with cover pictures, titles, and possibly catalog numbers to help people who are trying to collect copies of his recordings. -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!
Hey, Wendy, I just wanted to say that it's been a real pleasure to get to know you this year. Thanks for all of your help on the wiki(s)! I'm looking forward to working with you and the rest of the gang for a long time to come!

Have a great Christmas, and God bless you and your family! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 08:04, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Random Thoughts
Hi, Wendy! Here's some stuff I wanted to mention or keep forgetting to ask you:

1) Did you know we only have 12 CTW 45's left to find? That's the equivalent of 2 LP's!  Paul found a nice copy of I Can't Help It/Circles!

2) I forgot where I saw it on eBay, but I saw some kind of single from Miss Piggy's workout album. Can you try to find it?  I'll try to look some more tomorrow, too.

3) I've been putting off talking about this, and this may turn into a long-term project. I don't know if you're aware of this, but it seems that the Sony Wonder CD's (and possibly tapes) exist in 2 different numbers.  (AAUGH!!)  What's worse is that it might have something to do with the way they were packaged and sold.  I don't know if you were getting them in 1995 when they started, but it seems like some or all of the titles came in more than one kind of packaging.  Some came in a thin plastic container that also contained a tall rectangular lyric book (and you'd cut it carefully around the edge to get it out), and then some of them just had a tall rectangular piece of paper (with inserts and ads inside) that stuck up behind the CD case (and the lyrics were inside the CD booklet), and then eventually they just came packaged like regular CD's.  Through research, I've been able to find nearly all of the numbers, but what's driving me crazy is that I can't figure out if the later numbers were issued simultaneously to stores who wanted different packaging, or if the later numbers were issued at a later date, and would in fact be considered reissues with different packaging and numbers. I've put off mentioning this until I can get done with the original 1970-1984 records, and I'm almost there. I'm hoping that between all of the people on the wiki who have the CD's (and hopefully kept all of the original inserts like I did), we can pool our knowledge and figure all of this out. Too bad that Sony Wonder is no longer making them, but I'm hoping we can also find secondary market copies to help, too. You don't have to worry about this now, and I can talk more about it later, but I just wanted to let you know about it.

Hope you're doing well! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey Ken -- well my inlaws went home today, so I'm gradually returning to a state of sanity; I may never finish the laundry though!


 * I'd seen we were getting close on the singles. I saw the Herry Monster single (can't think of the title at the moment) but the image was unsalvageable to my frustration.  But we'll get there!    There are 2 copies of the Aerobique single on ebay (here and here).  I grabbed it and will add it (probably tomorrow - I'm too exhausted to do image editing tonight).  I've also accrued a bunch of other stuff to add, including a non-promo copy of Tick-Tock Sick.


 * How odd about the Sony Wonder stuff; I have no idea what they were doing with it. Then again, I was in college back then and haunting used book and record shops most of the time! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, if it was the one with Herry on the cover, that's the one that Paul found.


 * Wow, where did you find a store stock copy of Tick-Tock Sick? I was at a used record store on Sunday, and I saw an early Bill Dana (Jose Jimenez) LP on Signature, so I finally got to see what the label looks like in color!


 * I've been going to used book and record stores for years, too! I'm a little sad, though, because one of our local huge used bookstores is closing after about 30 years in business.  They were able to compete in the Internet age, and they're still world-famous, but I guess the couple that's owned it all these years wants to retire.  So they've been gradually lowering prices, for the last few weeks, and then their last day of business was Sunday.  I was sad to see them close, but on the positive side, I found a copy of "Of Muppets and Men" at a good discount, and then I found a copy of "Miss Piggy's Guide to Life" for a dollar!  And I've been wanting both of those for 26 years! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 06:31, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Tick-Tock Sick is here. He's not getting any bids 'cause he has the price so high.


 * As far as I can tell there are two Miss Piggy singles: one that nobody lists a B/W for, which is WB 1077, and the other, which is a promo, and has Marc Sadane (whoever that is) on the front side.  So we have the image for the promo (of course).


 * I also found another Atlantic Rainbow Cnxn promo; this one has the same number but the seller says it's Rainbow Cnxn on both sides. Talk about confusing!


 * I'm sorry about your local store, but glad it was their choice, not the internet that caused it to shut down! Don't you love finding bargains like that??  I loved the early days of internet bookbuying.  The sellers hadn't really learned to use the system and would put up really hard to find books for a few dollars.  Not good for them at all, but it was wonderful for me as a student!    Anyhow, we ran out of space in the house a while back so we did a massive cull and now have insane amounts of credit at the exchange which makes going there great fun (free books!).   -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 15:19, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey, you know what? Signature has 2 different label styles!  I wonder if that means that it was issued more than once.


 * Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about Atlantic promos. I think we should take down the ones that are up there once we get a store stock copy. The reason that their promos have the same number is that they made a double A-side, with the same song in mono (on the red and white side), and in stereo (on the blue and black side).  That way, both AM and FM stations could play it, back when AM was in mono.  I have some more to say about the Piggy 12" singles, but I'm going to mess around some more with  them.  Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:46, 21 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey, I just got home from my Bible study's Christmas party, and I remembered some other things. First, thanks for reworking the book and record sets page!  I had had the SS numbers originally, and then it was suggested that I take them down, and put them on the book versions' pages.  Well, I did that, but I really like having them in numerical order as the original sets, especially since we're trying to figure out all of the subsequent record and tape reissues!


 * Also, have you seen the big set of SS book and record sets on eBay? I think they had almost all of the original 24!  I'll have to see if I remember where it was!  Oh yeah, and thanks for finding all of those new 8-tracks!  You're amazing!


 * Thanks for posting that double artist 12" single! I have a hunch that the 2 copies we know of are either the same, or somehow related numerically, but I still need to mess with it some more.  I'm also trying to piece together that guy's records from that period, because now I'm thinking that there could have been at least 1 45 from Miss Piggy's album!  So I'm trying to figure out what 45 numbers were released around the period that the LP came out.  Luckily, the LP did chart in Billboard, so I'm trying to work backwards from that date, and see if I can search for 45's from that period in 1982.  I love the wiki!  Just when I think we've exhausted looking for records, stuff like this comes along! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 07:12, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
