Description

The extremely rare 5x7" box set "carry along" version of the 1972 Jim Henson album titled "Havin' Fun With Ernie & Bert's Carry Along". Box Set includes all 5 records, color wheel, and the magic cookie adventure map. Both colow wheel and map are in excellent condition. The records are in very good condition as well with only minor background noise. Rates around a VG+. The sleeves that house the 45's are also in VG/VG+ condition with minor tears along the edges. The box set box has the most wear yet in still completely in tact. Appears to have been stored in a tight space but overall this is a great copy of this rare lost gem. This is the only listing I could find on the internet currently so this is your only chance to own this version of this album...

Here's an album synopsis from Muppets Wikia:


Released 1972 Format LP Label Columbia Records Cat no. CC 25506

Back cover.

Havin' Fun with Ernie & Bert is a 1972 Sesame Street album in which Ernie, Bert and their friends get together to play games and sing songs. The songs from this album were also released simultaneously as seven consecutively numbered singles, packaged as individual book and record sets. It was also released as a "Carry About" boxed set of 45s, although the song groupings on each record were different from the individual single releases.

The original issue had a fold-out cover which had a map relating to "The Magic Cookie." There was also a plastic color wheel to be used during "Just Three Colors." The album was later re-issued in a cheaper cover without the fold-out or color wheel, and the references to these on the record were edited out.
