"This album is really hard to find & I was wondering if you can host it on your blog, seeing it's been OOP since 1981. There are a lot of people looking for this gem & I want everyone to hear it again since I was able to put it on my computer."

The Lolliwinks is the Holy Grail of Children's albums for me! I can't believe you posted this! You've made me incredibly happy! I can't thank you enough!!!!

Dave said...

That's what Greg said when he sent it to me. It's a new one on me, but I was glad to post it.

stupid_angel said...

can you upload it somewhere else? please!)

Dave said...

Sorry no. I have too much to do to mirror every one of my files. Sorry. There is absolutely nothing wrong with MegaUpload that is any different from any other file uploading service. If it's a matter of using a reader for the sight impaired I know for a fact that if you contact MegaUpload Support that they will give you a free Premium Account.

Dave,

Is it OK if I post my original ShareBee upload link so that stupid_angel can grab it??

Dave said...

I just put it out at the original post. Glad you reminded me I had that. Thanks Greg.

Dave

stupid_angel said...

thanx! really really like this album!)
thnx again

Gothic_Seraphim said...

It's missing the last song, 'Hands Up'.
Great album though.

Dave said...

Sorry. Maybe Greg can add that. It was his share not mine. Beggers can't be choosers I guess. I just feel glad to have it at all in any form myself.

OH wow...I just found this blog/and the download link I cannot believe I have found the music I wanted to share with someone!! Several friends had never heard of lolliwinks but I had a copy of it and my mom...caring that she is tried to hold on to it for me..My father sold the thing 2 summers ago for $1...i wanted to kill him...Now I can play it again! THANK YOU!!

Liza said...

This was my absolute favorite album when I was little and now I have a 5mo old son and I sing "hands up" to him all the time and was hoping to find the songs somewhere! I'm bummed you don't have "hands up" but I am so excited that you have all the other ones! Thanks for getting this online for us weirdos who still love the lolliwinks =] if you do ever get "hands up" that would be awesome!

Dave said...

I'll keep an eye out for it if it exists as a recording that is.
Dave

Dave said...

Awesome. Thanks.
Dave

Dave said...

Gothic,

Your file doesn't seem to work. I downloaded it, and it says that it is 5 minutes long, but only plays for about 5 seconds. So I won't share the file here until you can send me one that works ok.

Dave

Gothic_Seraphim said...

Sorry about the bad link.
Here's a new one:

Hands Up

Liza said...

Thank you so much for Hands Up! My husband didn't believe that it was a real song LOL! I'm so excited to have this!

Mr80's said...

The high quality needledrop contains Hands Up. Combined with Dave's scans this is the ultimate package.

Mr80's said...

Hey Dave,

Part 1 got deleted, you might try uploading it to a different site, like Sharebee or Zshare or something. Just a heads up!

Kwork said...

Dave, it looks like side one of the hq version doesn't work. Megaupload says that the file is no longer available. Can you check into this please? Thanks. Side two downloaded fine.

Thanks to both you and Gregg for this.

Dave said...

What the frig is MegaUploads problem all of a sudden? This sucks. This is one of dozens of files they've deleted in the last week or so.

Gothic_Seraphim said...

Link for full album can be found HERE

WOW,

I remember when I was a kid listening to the Lolliwinks with a battery operated tape player. My parents would often take a 2 hr. trip to the country were they had property.

I still have the tape, although it's a bit worn. I was probably 7 yrs. old but I took care of my tapes and records! I still have all my childhood records.

I enjoyed hearing the songs again.

Dave said...

Thanks G_S. This one I still have in my files. I'm just going to have to reupload it somewhere that an idiot isn't going to get a hair up their butt and delete the file.

Dave

Dave said...

tyoung,

Glad we could help. My thanks to Greg for introducing me to the Lp because I'd never even heard of this group or their LP until he sent it to me. It was after my time of listening to these kinds of shows. Even my Sister's kids were grown by the time the Lolliwinks came along. My 5 Grandkids are going to enjoy them I'm sure.

Dave

Kwork said...

First of all, a huge thanks to Gothic_Seraphim for a link to the full album in decent quality. Sadly it's pitched quite a bit high though when compared to the other rips around. I think I'll still be waiting for a repost on side one of the high quality rip from Greg.

Dave said...

Ok. New link. Let's see how long this one lasts. Next step will be ShareeBee. I hate to use them though because they are so slow, and only let you upload one file at a time. I just uploaded this new Part 1 file, and it took all of about 45 seconds to upload 56 MB of file.

Dave

Kwork said...

Dave, thank you thank you! Perfect. I got it just fine that time. Maybe Megaupload will keep it this time. I appreciate you uploading this again. Made my day!

Dave said...

I just now uploaded the LP scans of the front and back covers, and both inside gatefold pages. enjoy!!!

Dave said...

Sorry about that. MegaCrapload kept deleting my files so i stopped using them. I have shared them again at my YUKU Forum. You'll have to go there via the link on the first page of this forum, and sign up for free membership as the music sharing areas are hidden.

Carolyn Herman said...

I LOVE the Lolliwinks. I was so disappointed that I couldn't download the files. I have a 7mo. old daughter that I know would love this music. Can you tell me how to get it for my i-Pod or on CD?

LuckyCharmz said...

Hey there...just wanted to say I HAD this record as a kid and I MIGHT STILL HAVE IT! Just wondering, is this a huge collectors' item now or something?

Feel free to email me about this!
Jmoetzinger07@hotmail.com

Dave said...

Yes it is quite a collector's item. Opened copies go for around $30.00 on ebay, and still sealed copies for $100.00+ sometimes.

Dave

Bill said...

Blast from the past! I would love to get my hand on these files. Can they be hosted somewhere else?

Dave said...

I can make it into CD form for you. No use hosting it for download anywhere else because it gets deleted as fast as I can re-post it. Sorry.

Dave W.

Unknown said...

I was lucky enough to track down the actual album on ebay a while back open and the cover was in moderate condition but the actual album is scratch free! A big plus is it also came with the inserts which were the map of the world and the poster which I used to have on my wall as a kid! Scott

Dave said...

I currently have 2 copies of the LP still sealed.

Unknown said...

hey there! I would absoluytely love to download this album, but how? my mother and I would love to listen to misty morning. we haven't heard it in years

Bill said...

Giving it another shot to request the files for this. Dropbox them to me maybe?

Thanks,

Bill

Damaris said...

Is this still posted somewhere? I can't find my old cassette and would looooove to play it for my one year old. Thanks!!!

Bill said...

FINALLY! I received the album as a Christmas gift and I just spent a lazy Sunday afternoon turning the album into FLAC and MP3 files. ANYONE wanting a copy just needs to send me an email to bwware@gmail.com and I will send you back the dropbox link to the files in ZIP format. I have not heard this entire album in YEARS and it brought back so many memories!

Bill said...

Well, it seems there is some interest.....I will post the link here in hopes that it is not taken down. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qhy15qcaurxnz2j/The%20Lolliwinks.zip?dl=0

I have also posted the entire album on Youtube here:
