OMG I loved this record as a child. I've been trying to convert my copy into MP3 for the kids to listen and hopefully enjoy it as much as I did but unfortunately my copies not aged well (lots of scratches and jumps :( ) again thanks for sharing would love to have it in MP3 format with each record in a separate file instead of one long recording.
