Sesame Street 45 RPM sets

When Sesame Street began to produce albums and singles in the early 1970s, they also created some sets of singles that were released in special custom boxes, or in a small plastic bag with a handle. These sets sometimes had unique artwork.
==The Sesame Street Carry About==
This boxed set contains songs from The Sesame Street Book & Record, and includes the singles CC 75001, CC 75002, CC 75003, CC 75004, CC 75005, and CC 75006. These singles were also sold separately. The cardboard books and picture sleeves sold with the singles were included in this boxed set.

==The Official Sesame Street 2 Book-and-Records Tote Box==
This boxed set of 4 extended-play 45 RPM records includes all of the songs from The Official Sesame Street 2 Book-and-Record Album, and was unusual, because Warner Bros. did not normally release boxed sets in this format. Since Carry About was a trademark of Columbia Records for its 45 RPM boxed sets, the label called its version a Tote Box. The set contained smaller versions of all the material included with the LP version, which included a 28-page illustrated color booklet with lyrics of all of the songs, a sheet of stickers with pictures of various Sesame Street characters, and a sheet of Sesame Street signs that could be punched out.
 
These 45's were not sold except as part of the set, and thus do not carry individual record numbers. Each record has two numbered sides; somewhat surprisingly, this was done so that sides 1 & 8, 2 & 7, 3 & 6, and 4 & 5 were paired together so that they could be placed on a record changer instead of a single-play turntable. The songs are as follows:
* Side 1: Sesame Street Theme
* Side 1: Play Along
* Side 2: Everyone Makes Mistakes
* Side 2: The Garden
* Side 3: High, Middle, Low
* Side 3: The Word Family Song
* Side 4: What Do I Do When I'm Alone?
* Side 4: Has Anybody Seen My Dog?
* Side 5: Sing
* Side 5: Mad!
* Side 6: Picture a World
* Side 6: The Grouch Song
* Side 7: Stop!
* Side 7: I'm Pretty
* Side 7: Circles
* Side 8: Over, Under, Around and Through
* Side 8: Someday, Little Children
