When Sesame Street began to produce albums and singles in the early 1970's, they also created some sets of singles that were released in special custom boxes. These sets sometimes had unique artwork.

The Official Sesame Street 2 Book-and-Records Tote Box

Songs from Sesame Street
Released 1971
Format 45 RPM boxed set
Label Warner Brothers Records
Cat no. PP 101

This boxed set of 4 extended-play 45 RPM records includes all of the songs from The Official Sesame Street 2 Book-and-Record Album, and was unusual, because Warner Brothers did not normally release boxed sets in this format. Since "Carry About" was a trademark of Columbia Records for their 45 RPM boxed sets, Warner Brothers called their version a "Tote Box". The set contained smaller versions of all the material included with the LP version, which included a 28-page illustrated color booklet with lyrics of all of the songs, a sheet of stickers with pictures of various Sesame Street characters, and a sheet of Sesame Street signs that could be punched out.

These 45's were not sold except as part of the set, and thus do not carry individual record numbers. Each record has two numbered sides; somewhat surprisingly, these are done so that sides 1 & 8, 2 & 7, 3 & 6, and 4 & 5 are each paired together. The songs are as follows:
