The Sharon, Lois & Bram Car Tunes collection is a set of "mini-cassette" recordings released by the Canadian children's music trio Sharon, Lois & Bram in 1989 and 1990; some were re-released in 1995. It is the largest collection of music in the trio's repertoire. The collection consists of "mid-price() mini-tapes for children and their families."〔Car Tunes Cassette. 1989/1990. Elephant Records Inc.〕 It contains a total of eight cassettes released under their own Elephant Records label. Each cassette contains between ten to twenty songs, all from previous Sharon, Lois & Bram albums. Each cassette has a central theme. ==History & releases== The cassettes were originally released after the trio's 1988 ''Happy Birthday'' album. They were available in stores in 1989 and came out in two sections. Volumes 1 through 4 were released in 1989, and volumes 5 through 8 were released in 1990. These original releases were used to promote their ''Sing A to Z'' tour and album. These included: Volume 1: Summertime Volume 2: Animals Volume 3: Around the World Volume 4: Sleepytime Volume 5: Elephant Showstoppers Volume 6: School Days Volume 7: After School Volume 8: Naming Names Some of the cassettes featured dialogue between Sharon, Lois & Bram introducing the next song or saying a rhyme or riddle. These were recorded specially for the cassettes. These eight original cassettes were available only in Canada. In 1995, with the upcoming release of their album ''Let's Dance!'' (which would become one of their best-selling albums), the trio decided to re-release four of the eight original ''Car Tunes'' cassettes to promote the album. These cassettes remained under the same name, but the volume numbers changed. They were released in partnership with Sears KidVantage program and were available at all Sears locations and stores throughout Canada and the United States. They were sold at $2.99 each and all the proceeds from the cassettes were sent to UNICEF, of which the trio have been ambassadors to since 1988. The 1995 Sears KidVantage ''Car Tunes Series'' featured the following four albums: Volume 1: Songs for After School Volume 2: Songs from Around the World Volume 3: Songs about Animals Volume 4: Songs for Sleepytime 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Car Tunes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
