''The Sesame Street Book and Record'' was the first ''Series/SesameStreet'' spinoff album, released on Creator/ColumbiaRecords in 1970, shortly after the show's first season ended.
Instead of only a collection of songs, it's formatted as an audio ''Sesame Street'' episode, linking the songs with dialogue. As the title implies, it was initially packaged with an accompanying book that included illustrations and song lyrics.
Featuring several of the show's most iconic songs, the album was hugely popular, spending nine weeks in the Top 40 of ''Billboard'''s album chart, peaking at #23. "Rubber Duckie" was a hit single as well, getting all the way up to #16. It also won a UsefulNotes/GrammyAward for best children's album.
!!Track list:
[[AC: Side One]]
# "Sesame Street" - The Kids
# "ABC-DEF-GHI" - Big Bird
# "I've Got Two" - Gordon, Susan, Bob, Mr. Hooper, Big Bird and Oscar
# "Goin' for a Ride" - The Anything People
# "What Are Kids Called?" - Bob and Susan
# "Everybody Wash" - Ernie and Bert
# "One of These Things" - Bob and Susan
# "Up and Down" - Two Monsters (though the Creator/FrankOz-voiced monster would later be {{Retcon}}ned as Cookie Monster)
# "Bein' Green" (just titled "Green" here) - Kermit the Frog
[[AC: Side Two]]
# "Somebody Come and Play" - The Kids (with Bob joining in toward the end)
# "I Love Trash" - Oscar the Grouch
# "A Face" - Bob
# "J-Jump" - The Kids
# "The People in Your Neighborhood" - Bob and The Anything People
# "Rub Your Tummy" - Gordon
# "Number 5" - The Kids
# "Five People in My Family" - The Anything People
# "Nearly Missed" - Susan
# "Rubber Duckie" - Ernie
!!"On my way to where the Tropes are sweet":
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Several characters address the listener directly.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The album serves as a time capsule for all the elements in season 1 of the show that soon changed.
** Matt Robinson as Gordon.
** Big Bird being portrayed as TheDitz with a [[SimpletonVoice yokel accent]].
** Oscar with a more pronounced Bronx accent.
** Cookie Monster not having crystallized as a full-blown character yet, so he has a voice closer to Grover (though the singing voice is close to the classic voice).
** The Anything People as a separate troupe of Muppets who changed personalities from sketch to sketch. Starting in season 2, the methodology shifted to using the Anything Muppets as templates for continuing characters.
** Caroll Spinney playing some of the Anything characters. With the hiring of Jerry Nelson and Fran Brill in season 2, Spinney focused on just playing Big Bird and Oscar.
** Bob [=McGrath=] and Loretta Long pitching in with Anything voices too.
** A slightly deeper-voiced Kermit and Ernie (and a more subdued Bert).
* IAmSong:
** "Bein' Green" is Kermit talking about how he accepts himself for who he is.
** "I Love Trash" is all about defining Oscar as a character.
* KidsRock: Four songs are sung by a group of kids, including the theme song.
* MediumAwareness: The closing announcement on the vinyl version.
-->'''Gordon''': Well, it's time for us to go. But you know what? Any time you want to visit Sesame Street again, all you have to do is take this record off the record player, turn it over, put it back on the record player, and put the needle back on at the beginning.
* InTheStyleOf: Most of the songs are done in the standard show tune-inspired ''Sesame Street'' style, but "Up and Down" has a big {{Soul}} influence.
* TenorBoy: Bob's familiar tenor voice and guy-next-door personality are established here.
* TrashOfTheTitans: "I Love Trash" is Oscar's celebration of this.
