10th Anniversary Album



Sesame Street's 10th Anniversary Album was released in 1978 and was a limited edition LP which featured 25 greatest hits from the show's 10 year history. Dialogue was edited from many tracks in order to fit as many songs as possible onto a single LP. The album was packaged in a special reflective silver gatefold sleeve, the inlay of which featured the lyrics to all of the songs. The 10th anniversary packaging also included 12 autographed photos "suitable for framing" of the entire cast and Muppets.
