Music, Mayhem and More!

The Muppet Show: Music, Mayhem and More! The 25th Anniversary Collection is a collection of songs from The Muppet Show and theatrical Muppet movies. It was released in 2002 to celebrate The Muppet Show's 25th anniversary. Consisting of twenty-seven tracks, fourteen songs come from previous Muppet Show soundtracks, while at least one song from each movie (or soundtrack) is also featured.
All of the songs have previously been available on other albums (The Muppet Show, The Muppet Show 2, and the various movie soundtracks), but some of the songs, particularly all of the tracks from The Muppets Take Manhattan, received their CD debut with this album.
This album includes a special booklet about the history of the Muppets and their music, written by Craig Shemin.
