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'll add a new recording. We took a break in 2008, returning in 2009 for one final year. 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! Listening Options We also provide all significant artwork associated with each recording. All images are located in the Image Zip File or in the Torrent Zip File. Download Option A Download each audio file individually and image zip file. Download Option B Download the Torrent Zip File, which contains all audio and image files.

Album covers and sleeves no longer link to additional images. 2009 Download Options A and B discontinued. One zip file now contains all audio and images. Credits Torrent Zip Files created and managed by Metalboy. Album covers and record sleeves restoration by Kevin Anetsberger. A portion of the descriptions for the 2006 year have been provided by Dave Pruiksma. Thank you UbuWeb, former host of our audio files. All have volunteered their services and for that, we are very grateful. Without them, Kiddie Records Weekly would not be the site it is today. |
