Sesame Street discography facts for kids

Have you ever wondered about all the music and albums released by your favorite show, Sesame Street? This page lists all the different recordings that have come out from the TV series. A "discography" is like a complete list of all the music and albums an artist or show has released. Many of the early albums, first put out by Columbia Records and CTW (Sesame Workshop), were later re-released by other companies like Sony Wonder, and then by The Orchard and Warner Music Group. This means older songs and albums were made available again for new generations to enjoy!
