Classic children's records are still very collectible and the internet has made it possible to hear many hard to find albums. The Internet Archive is home to the "Great 78 Project" which is a "community project for the preservation, research and discovery of 78rpm records". The albums were digitized from a group of collector and archive collections. Among the thousands of "sides" the project has digitized hundreds of vintage kiddie records from the George Blood collection.
For Christmastime I want to highlight this 1955 Christmas Album by "Miss Frances" Horwich of the pioneering preschool series Ding Dong School (1952 - 1956). She introduces the album 'Twas the Night Before Christmas by ringing the shows' trademark bell. If the embedded player does not work CLICK HERE
