Children's gramophone records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Children's gramophone records are gramophone records intended for a young audience. The most popular types of such records were records of children's songs and records of stories. Such stories could be adaptations of fairy tales, children's poems and other various works of children's literature. Adaptations of cartoons and movies were made too. Sometimes stories were just narrated, like audiobooks, but often they were acted out, in a manner similar to a radio drama.
In the United States, children's records were most popular between the thirties till fifties. In Soviet Union however, children's records remained very popular until the late eighties and early nineties. Later some children's records were republished on audiocasettes and CDs.
