Summary: More Precious Than Gold...
Comment: In the 1960s my parents played this record by my cradle. Now in the new millenium I play the tape every night by my son's crib. This is THE classic collection of timeless, matchless lullabyes.

Warm, gentle, soothing, memorable, and NOT tied in to any marketing campaign or multinational corporation. There are no toys connected with the songs that will be marketed to your children. No TV show. No videotapes or DVD to buy. Just an album of beautiful, authentic music that will provide priceless memories.

The sound quality is what you'd expect from an album recorded in the 1950s, or perhaps a little worse, but that in no way detracts from the charm of the record - it might even enhance it. My two-year-old now *asks* for the "lullabye tape" every night.

It's worth noting that the original record came with a spiral-bound book that included stories and lyrics. Unfortunately the tape lacks that book. I only wish this album was available on CD!

The album is nicely multicultural, but the majority of the songs are in English (in some cases somewhat archaic English). I suspect that there were one or two changes between the record and the new tape version, but I haven't had a chance to compare them properly. In any case, this is an album that every toddler should hear.

Comment: I have used this tape to put by preschool students to sleep, and now use it EVERY night to put my two children to bed. I never tire of the beautiful songs. I wish that the lyrics were included and that it were issued on CD. I would highly recommend this tape for anyone looking for a lovely nightime ritual.

Summary: CD! CD! CD!
Comment: I agree with those who say this is about the best lullaby recording ever, and those who were astonished to find it listed as a "book", and those who would like it updated to CD. It saved me from the crazies when my children were tiny, many many years ago. It's my favorite new-baby gift.
