45 RPM singles of songs from 1, Rue Sésame, the French co-production of Sesame Street, began to be issued in France in 1978. However, only the very first single contained songs from a simultaneously released LP. The second single, while containing two of the same songs as the first one, only featured the music tracks, so children could sing the songs by themselves. All of the subsequent singles featured songs that weren't available anywhere else. The final single was issued in 1981.
