Sounds like a good album.  What's the material on it?

The Nachbush 78 is an interesting case.  It was made when technology was
changing from 78 to 33-1/3 rpm.  It appears to have been an experiment.  One
side was normal in technology and length and the other was recorded with 78
technology at 33 speed and is to be played with a 78 needle.  My friend, who
owns the record, and I tried 78 and 33 needles and the sound was definitely
superior with the 78 needle.  The grooves are obviously 78 grooves, as well.
The 33 recording was twice as long, as allowed by the slower speed, so that
version has the regular song, as well as Nachbush's cute version "as sung by the
frog", as it says in the liner notes.  I wonder which they used for the
recording you have?

Do you have any other old children's material recorded?
