the following is from the Kiddie Records site:
Introduction
Kiddie Records Weekly began in 2005 as a one year project devoted to the golden age of children's records. This period spanned from the mid forties through the early fifties and produced a wealth of all-time classics. Many of these recordings were extravagant Hollywood productions on major record labels and featured big time celebrities and composers.
Over the years, these forgotten treasures slipped off the radar and it became our mission to give them a new lease on life by sharing them with today's generation of online listeners. Each week throughout the year we added a new recording and before we knew it, our one year project turned into three! Although we will not be continuing beyond 2007,(updated: they started adding more content in 2009!) Kiddie Records Weekly will remain online and we will update the Bonus Records section every now and then.
So whether you are hearing these records for the first time or reuniting with a childhood favorite from long ago, we hope you take great pleasure in your trip down memory lane!

Thank you, Angelle, for this high quality, 100% free, educational find!
Thank you for reminding me of this site. It was one of my favorite sites. I love the old records. Just like I love old movies.
I have all of the old records that our librarian was trashing..alot of these same ones…wonder if I could make a fortune on EBAY!! LOL
This definitely is worth visiting. Three years ago, one of my sons downloaded quite a number of these to CDs, and created a “library” as his Nativity gift to his little sister. She was thrilled !
What a wonderful idea, Antonia! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for posting this! I’m a vinyl lover, and still have some of the old records I listened to when I was young. This gives me a great chance to share even more classic albums (more classic than the 1980’s stuff I have, lol) with my children!
