Available here is a classic, vintage children's LP:  "Free To Be You and Me", released in 1978 on Arista Records (AL8-8044).  This LP was a children's entertainment project, conceived, created and executive-produced by actress and author Marlo Thomas.  it features many other luminaries of the time in duets with Marlo Thomas or other combinations, including Alan Alda, Mel Brooks, Dick Cavett, Harry Belafonte, Rosey Grier, and more.

A review:

"There are thousands upon thousands of children's albums out there, but the one that quietly left its mark with more '70s children than perhaps any other album was this disc. Free to Be...You and Me was a pet project of proud feminist Marlo Thomas (a.k.a. "That Girl"), and it was born - according to the liner notes - by the desire to provide her niece with music "to celebrate who she was and who she could be." Harry Belafonte sings "Parents Are People," ex-football great Rosie Grier offers an incredible, touching melody titled "It's All Right to Cry," and Diana Ross waxes future-positive on "When We Grow Up." A great hour of brain food for young--and not-so-young--children."

See photos for full track listing; there are 18 great tracks in all.

Excellent condition for its age - solid VG++ vinyl. 1-2 faint, tiny hairlines visible across both sides, extremely glossy.  Album cover also in very nice shape, with no seam splits, light wear.  Both labels are clean and complete. Plain paper liner.  Multi-page booklet is clean, light wrinkling, no issues.
