I have a fair number of CTW records. The problem is that they were usually
played on a Close'N'Play by kids who are as fascinated by rubbing sand
in the grooves as in hearing the record.

Not to mention the 'Toytown Techno' movement, who made an early breakbeat
anthem of the Sesame Street theme.

acknowledging that he's ill. Bert ends up yelling "I'M SICK ERNIE, I'M SICK!"
