I am looking for a full set of "Let's Pretend" stories. These were a
set of records made by Telegeneral in the 1970s. I am *not* interested
in the radio shows of the same name from the 1940s-1950s.

I occasionally see a few of the individual records come up on eBay,
but I am really looking for a full set. Here is one of the eBay record
listings...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=903373861&rd=1

I do not care about actually owning the records themselves, I only
want to be able to listen to the stories, so a set of MP3s would be
fine for me.

I've heard variously from other people who bid on the records on eBay
that there is a full set of MP3s available, but no one remembers where
they saw them. I'd love to find this set of MP3s, or a full set of the
records in good condition.

thanks,
josh

Hi again bigjosh,

I found your series listed on an old time radio website, and available
for purchase in two sets, each set containing ten cassettes. Each of
the two sets is for sale for $40. Although the description provides no
dates, one of the cassettes contains the same two stories,
(“Rumplestiltskin” and “Donkey Skin”) as the recording you cited in
your question. The stories are both on the same cassette, just as the
eBay offering.

Would you be interested in the cassettes? I have found many references
to the older (1929-1954) series in mp3 format, but this is the only
reference I have been able to find which corresponds to the example
that you gave.

Beth

Unfortunately, whenever they refer to "Old time radio", they always
mean the old radio show from the 40's and never the records from the
70's. I have the old radios shows and they are not very good, while
the records are *great*.

thanks.

As an alternative, would you be interested in "Let's Pretend" records
at a nearby library?  If so, what geographical area or major city is
accessible to you?

Hi Josh, 

I couldn't find the whole set for you. But you may want to stay in
touch with the folks at On Vinyl 1-866-ON-VINYL - they have two of the
records, presently.


92682	Let's Pretend:  Aladdin And The Wonderful Lamp / Douban The
Physician  (Telegeneral TG 107 LP)  $60  EX/EX  1970,label insert

92722	Let's Pretend:  Hansel & Gretel / Three Golden Hairs 
(Telegeneral TG 1119 LP)  $25  VG+/VG-  1970


They just sold the other two I saw online when I was looking.
They get new (used records) in all the time. 

Good luck.

I was eventually contacted by someone who saw that I won an auction
for a Let's Pretend recond on eBay. They sold me a complete set of CDs
for about a hundred bucks. If you are interested, post a comment and
I'll provide thier email addresss.

Dear Josh, I was looking on the internet for the exact same thing. My
brother and I used to listen to those records all the time and I have
been frustrated by only getting hits about the old radio show. Could
you tell me where you finally got lucky? I would love to buy a CD
version of them for my children and as a nostaligic gift for my
brother's birthday in May.

bigjosh,

Do you still have the contact to purchase the Let's Pretend Records on
DVD?  I would really appreciate the information.

Thanks

I put on my original request Let's Pretend dvd.  I meant to put Cd.  thanks

The guy with the CD is on eBay. You can contact him via the username "cybermart".
