The Official Sesame Street 2 Book-and-Record Album is the second record album of Sesame Street songs. It was originally packaged in a gatefold sleeve which contained a 24-page book featuring illustrations by Michael Smollin, as well as lyrics to all of the songs. The package also included a sheet of stickers depicting various characters and song titles on the album, and a sheet of Sesame Street signs that could be punched out. The album was simultaneously issued in a boxed set of four extended play 45's, which included smaller versions of the book, stickers and signs. This album peaked at #78 on Billboard's "Top LP's" chart in early 1972. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for "Best Recording for Children", but lost to the cast album from The Electric Company. It was subsequently reissued without the book, first as Sesame Street 2: Original Cast and then as a part of the 1977 Sesame Street Gold limited edition two record set, which also featured the first original cast recording from 1970.
