Classic records from the 1950s

Joanne Jacobs posts about The return of Peter:

"Just the other day, I was thinking about listening to Peter and the Wolf when I was a kid. Now, thanks to Ben Cunningham, I’ve discovered it’s possible to download classic children’s records from the ’40s and ’50s — including the same version of Peter we used to own — on Kiddie Records Weekly. They’ve got Uncle Remus too. Check it out!"


I was surprised to see they also had Pecos Bill. The story is told by Roy Rogers and with sons from The Sons of the Pioneers. Growing up I listened to these records about Pecos Bill over a dozen times at my grandparents.

There are over a 150 different records, many I'd never heard of before. It looks worth checking out.
