This soundtrack album for Sesamstraat, the Dutch co-production of Sesame Street, was released by WSP in 1982.

Pino Zingt Cijfers (Pino Sings Numbers) features "jokes, songs and stories from 1 to 10" by Pino and Ieniemienie. The album was also released on cassette. The material on this record was made for the album, and not featured on the TV show.

• Tommie is pictured on the album cover, but he does not appear on the album.

• "Er Is Maar Een Pino" seems to be based on "There's Just One Me" from the Sesame Street album Numbers.
